Abstract:	The Asia Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP) is primarily responsible for developing international recognition of the measurement capabilities of the region's national and territorial measurement laboratories. APMP has been operating in the Asia-Pacific since its inception as a Commonwealth Science Council initiative in 1977. The APMP membership has a diverse range of skills and capabilities and these are being developed to support the needs of individual economies. As of January 2008, the Full member consists of thirty-four organizations from twenty-two economies, and the six organizations from six economies are the Associate members. The major activities of APMP are introduced. The APMP activities include the General Assembly and the satellite meetings held from 28th October to 2nd November 2007 with more than 350 participants. During the GA a joint half day APMP-ILAC/IAF symposium were held on the subjects of linkages between accreditation and metrology. In May 2008 Sri Lanka hosts a CIPM MRA workshop and a Metrology-in-Chemistry workshop of APMP. The Developing Economies Committee also organizes a symposium to raise awareness of metrology infrastructure for developing economies. The highlighted activities of its member NMIs (National Metrology Institute) are also introduced.
