On November 14, 2007 WFA held its 3rd Annual Asia Pacific Regional Meeting in Beijing. The meeting assembled WFA's national associations in the Asia/Pacific region (including Japan, China, Australia, Malaysia) as well key corporates which have a stake in local markets: Nokia, Kellogg, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, Mars and Ferrero (amongst others).
