The activities of APMP will be decided by the APMP General Assembly (GA). GA meets once a year to review and discuss the aims and specific tasks of APMP. The General Assembly itself decides upon its rules of procedure. The General Assembly elects the Chairperson from its Full Members.
GA is attended by Representatives of all APMP member economies as well as invited representatives from the associate stakeholder organizations. The Representatives of each Full Member economy will nominate one Delegate who will be entitled to vote on behalf of that economy. Each economy can have only one Delegate.
