Besides bringing these endeavors to fruition, the Administrationlaunched several new trade initiatives and breathed new life intosome old ones. The Administration made major progress in establishingAPEC as a prominent forum for advancing our interests inthe critical Asia-Pacific region. In addition, the United Statesreached a new bilateral agreement with Japan. Complementing thenew international initiatives, the Administration also launched anew National Export Strategy to promote American exports.This Administration understands that expanding trade relationsare not only inevitable but critical to the future health of the U.S.economy. It is determined to ensure that the growing interdependencewith our trading partners brings benefits to the United States.To this end the United States Government is committed to act unilaterally,bilaterally, regionally, plurilaterally, and globally to openmarkets to maintain the ability of U.S. firms to compete aroundthe world. Through increasing integration into the global economy,we can achieve ever-rising living standards for all of our people.248
