The APEC Harmonization Center is established under the authority of the APEC Life Sciences Innovation Forum (LSIF). Korea presented a proposal for a harmonization center, referred to as the AHC, at the sixth LSIF in August, 2008. The proposal included substantial self-funding from the Government of Korea and was widely supported at LSIF. In November 2008, APEC Ministers specifically endorsed the AHC in their Joint Ministerial Statement: “Recalling our commitment to promoting regulatory reform and harmonization, we welcomed and endorsed the establishment of the APEC LSIF Harmonization Center in Seoul as a key step forward.”
