Abstract: The September 2007 annual summit of APEC to be hosted by Australia will witness the ending of the decade long moratorium on membership. A major anomaly of the APEC is that while the three largest economies in the world in terms of PPP GDP are members (US, China and Japan), the fourth largest economy, India, which is in Asia, is not. India more than meets the criteria for membership set by the APEC ministerial meeting last year and presents a strong case to be invited into the APEC forum.
