Korea has contributed USD 1 million to the APEC Support Fund to launch a new Sub-Fund on Prosperity of Future Generations. The initiative will provide financing for projects that expand opportunities for young people across the Asia-Pacific to fully participate in the region’s economic future. “This contribution reflects Korea’s commitment to fostering young people as key drivers of innovation and prosperity,” said Lee Jiyoon, Korea’s Senior Official for APEC. Each year, APEC provides funding for over 100 projects that aim to boost trade, drive innovation, and promote sustainable development. As host of APEC in 2025, Korea is spearheading this effort as part of its commitment to preparing the region’s youth for the jobs and opportunities of the future.
