本計畫就亞太經濟合作會議 (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, APEC) 組織架構及運作模式，進行說明，並就化學對話 (Chemical Dialogue, CD) 相關背景、近年化學對話的關注議題、各經濟體政策焦點、產業現況等，進一步分析，將化學局與化學對話，加以連結。國際會議的參與，從會議前的議程安排、出席代表的層級、議題的分享交換，到會議後的互動維持，環環相扣；因此，本計畫協助規劃國際會議的教育訓練，分別邀請對於APEC、國際化學物質管理，以及國際會議召開熟稔之專家，進行專業授課，並藉由參與一年兩次的化學對話會議的機會，與各經濟體化學相關的公私部門接觸。由於APEC開放各經濟體申請提案經費補助；化學局於第1年APEC化學對話的計畫將以參與會議、進行口頭簡報為主；後續年度進一步規劃提案，因此，本計畫工作項目提供議題建議，也為日後提案可能主題進行評估，藉由APEC的量能，執行化學物質管理相關活動。

The participation of the international conference comprises various technical details, from the arrangement of the agenda and the delegate to presentation topics. Hence, this project is to organize the training courses and to invite technical experts from foreign affairs, international trade, and environmental fields to share experiences. In addition, the Bureau would more closely be linked with public and private sectors related to chemical areas from individual economies through the semiannual CD. Since APEC is open to all economies to apply for funding, the plan for the following year is to apply for APEC project funding while the plan for the first year is to attend the CD and to give the oral presentation during the CD.
