During the NGO conference of the Asia/Pacific region held in Manila 1993, in the preparation for the Beijing World Conference on Women scheduled in 1995, the participants met in sub-regional groups. At the East Asia regional group meeting, it was proposed and accepted unanimously that a separate East Asia Women's Forum should be held on a regular basis.
Therefore, the first 5th East Asian Women's Forum was held in December 2003 in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Association of Business and Professional Women was a member of the organising committee for the 5th East Asian Women's Forum.
Recently, in July 2006, a second East Asian Women’s Forum was held and again, the Hong Kong Association of Business and Professional was a member of the organising committee.
