[2] Towards an Asia Pacific Social Forum

The following media release was sent out to Australian media on February 7 by the conference organising committee:

Region’s activists to discuss launch of Asia Pacific Social Forum

In the wake of the second successful World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, activists from the Asia Pacific are to meet in Sydney on March 31 to discuss the formation of a regional social forum to oppose corporate globalisation and the stepped up US-led military intervention in the Third World.

Activists from the Philippines, Indonesia and Australia who recently attended the WSF (which attracted 50,000 activists from around the world) will be part of this important discussion, to be hosted by the 2nd Asia Pacific Solidarity Conference (Sydney, March 31-April 2, 2002).

“The Asia Pacific Solidarity Conference will show that movement against corporate globalisation and war is alive and well in this region”, said Mr Peter Boyle, a conference organiser.

“The bullying by the US President George Bush and his Pacific deputy sheriff John Howard is going to meet serious resistance.”

The 1st Asia Pacific Solidarity Conference – held in Sydney April 10-13, 1998 – attracted 750 participants including 67 international representatives, including leading activists from Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, South Korea, East Timor, PNG, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
