Derek Davies, 71, who was editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review  for 25 years, has died.

He died on Sunday at a hospital in Antibes, southern France, after a two-year battle with cancer.

Davies, who was appointed editor in 1964, was credited with developing the magazine from a Hong Kong-based business paper into a leading source of informed news and analysis about the region.

He was also president of the Foreign Correspondents' Club from 1987-89.

'Nobody did more for regional journalism than Derek Davies,' said Philip Bowring, a former Review  editor.

A funeral will be held in Cannes on Friday and a memorial service is also being planned in London.

Davies was a graduate of Jesus College at Cambridge University, served in the British foreign service and worked for the Financial Times  before joining the Review  in Hong Kong.

He is survived by his widow, Shizue, two sons and a daughter.
