Introduction to APC  
The Inter-governmental Asia-Pacific Consultations on Refugees, Displaced Persons and Migrants (APC) promotes dialogue and explores opportunities for greater regional cooperation relating to population movements of refugees, displaced or trafficked persons and migrants. 

The APC works in close partnership with UNHCR and IOM.

The APC operates in an informal, consultative, non-binding manner, with Coordinators from various Asia-Pacific countries taking the reigns on a rotating basis.
