Introduction to the Asia-Pacific Law Association
The Asia-Pacific Law Association (hereinafter referred to as "APLA") was established in Hong Kong in 2001, upon the initiative of Mr. Wang Daohan, former President of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS).
APLA's leadership comprises deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputies to provincial-level People's Congresses and members of provincial-level CPPCC committees, as well as Members of the Hong Kong Legislative Council.

APLA's membership includes professional service institutions and practitioners in legal services, accounting and auditing, mediation and arbitration, intellectual property, and related fields. Membership is also open to legal and professional service institutions and practitioners from more than 50 countries and regions across the Asia-Pacific.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of APLA's establishment. Rooted in Hong Kong, serving the nation, focusing onto the Asia-Pacific, and reaching out globally, APLA is committed in constructing an influential international platform for legal and professional services in the Asia-Pacific.

By bringing together strengths from various sectors to deepen regional rule-of-law cooperation, the Asia Pacific Law Association provides professional support for trade, investment, and connectivity initiatives, and contributes professional expertise to enhance regional prosperity and stability.
