  • APAC is an unofficial designation. As such, the list of APAC countries often varies by source. Data below was compiled from multiple sources, with a highlight on the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
  • Countries such as the US, United Kingdom and France are occasionally considered APAC countries by way of their territories, such as American Samoa, the Cook Islands (UK) and Wallis and Futuna (France).
  • The lists shown indicate which countries are considered APAC countries by various source organizations. Lists do not necessarily indicate membership in the given source organization.
  • ESCAP divides the APAC region into five geographical subregions: East and North East Asia (ENEA), North and Central Asia (NCA), South and South West Asia (SSWA), South East Asia (SEA — ASEAN), and the Pacific (PACIFIC).
