The GTC was formally established on December 4, 2011, through the Memorandum of Understanding on the Pacific Cooperation Platform, signed by the Foreign Ministers of the four countries.
The goal of the GTC is to promote cooperation among the member countries and with third parties, in the areas of environment and climate change; innovation, science and technology; social development; as well as others that the countries establish by common agreement.
The Group’s coordination is rotated annually, in alphabetical order.
The GTC is in charge of the coordination, approval and follow-up of cooperation actions in each of the member countries.
