Dr Jeong-Yeol Kim:

In 1902, John Hey, US Secretary of State, said ”In ancient times, the Mediterranean was the centre of world affairs; during modern times, the centre shifted to the Atlantic Ocean; but before long, it will shift further west into the Pacific Ocean.” Hey’s observation has now become a reality.

Today, the industrial output of the Asia Pacific region amounts to over half the total productivity of the world. Six out of ten of the largest ports and eight of the largest banks in the world are in this region.

Despite the recent Asian economic crisis, while Europe’s group of nations has a GNP of 2-3%, the average GNP of the Asia-Pacific rim countries is over 6%.

Twelve of the fifteen fastest growing economies of the world are in the Asia-Pacific region.
