in the logo symbolize the close contacts and communications among
people. The simple geometric forms like the two circles and squares
symbolize the connection between consumers and retailers. Red
represents the changing needs and enthusiasm of consumers and
is also a traditional color of Japan, while green represents the
safety and environmentally-harmlessness of commodities and also
reflects the commitment and liability that retail business is
expected to demonstrate.
Advanced and Balanced is the slogan of the 13th APRCE. ¡°Advanced¡±
represents the innovation capabilities of Asia-Pacific countries
in the drastically-changing environment, and ¡°Balanced¡± represents
our desires for more information sharing and greater development.
