Season’s greetings from the Asian Productivity Organization, and my sincere appreciation to member governments, national productivity organizations, and all stakeholders for your remarkable commitment, dedication, and support in achieving common goals and setting a future direction as we close the year 2025.

2026 marks the 65th anniversary of the APO, a significant milestone and an opportunity to renew our shared commitment to raising productivity across the Asia-Pacific region. This year, as part of the APO Vision 2030, our new five-year strategic framework, we will roll out Strategic Partnership Programs focusing on more measurable results aligned with the national policy priorities of each member economy.

Let’s vow to translate Vision 2030 into tangible outcomes to reinforce productivity as a foundation for our region’s prosperous future as we enter 2026.
