THE ASIA PACIFIC LAW ASSOCIATION
The Asia Pacific Law Association ("APLA") was founded in 2001 in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong") under the initiative of Mr. Wang Daohan, the former president of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits ("ARATS"). Mr. Wang is of the view that Hong Kong is equipped with the best legal foundation among mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Therefore, it is essential to establish a communication platform for legal professionals from these four jurisdictions, in order to promote the construction and modernization of the legal system in China.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Secretary General Xi Jinping advocated that the country should unswervingly follow the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively govern the country according to law, promote the modernization of the country's governance system and governance capabilities on the track of the rule of law, and protect the fundamental interests of the people with good laws and governance. Harmony and stability ensure long-term stability in the country.

Hong Kong is at the historical milestone in the development of momentum for industrial upgrading. APLA will use its best endeavours to contribute in building a modern socialist country under the rule of law, building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Comprising extensive professional expertise with a well-structured and representative lineup, the two governing bodies will respectively undertake key responsibilities including strategic consultation, decision-making guidance, and oversight governance.
