      History

      The Asia/Pacific Branch replaced the Pacific Rim Branch in 1990, shortly after the Pacific Rim Branch acquired responsibility for the China components of the China and South Asia Branch. The branch formed a part of the Industry and Trade Expansion Division (which became the Trade and International Relations Division in 1991) within the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology.

      Offices of the Branch existed in Hong Kong, Nanjing, New Delhi, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo and Bangkok.

      The Asia/Pacific Branch ceased to exist in July 1993, when all international offices of the ministry were closed.
