RI PRESIDENT Prabowo Subianto will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) High Level Conference (KTT) which will be held on 11-16 November in Lima, Peru.
From Media Indonesia’s monitoring, there is a special media center for media crew covering the 31st APEC Summit in Peru. The media center is located outside the main APEC event building, namely behind the Lima Convention Center (LCC) Building.
The APEC Peru Summit Media Center has tables and chairs that can be used by media crew. Based on Media Indonesia’s monitoring, several local media, such as RPP, IRTP, El Peruano, Andina, and Canal Online have filled the stands available in the media center.
Not only does it provide facilities that make work easier, the committee also ensures that journalists’ stomachs do not go hungry. It can be seen that the APEC Peru Summit committee also prepared free food and drinks.
As for the plan, the number one person in Indonesia will give a speech on the last day of this grand annual event. The 31st APEC Summit, which was held in a retreat format, took place at the Lima Convention Center (LCC).
The LCC building is known as the January 27th Convention Center or in Spanish the Centro de Convenciones 27 de Enero. The LCC building is also a convention center in San Borja, Peru.
This building is located in the cultural center of the city of Lima, which is in the vicinity of the Museo de la Nación and the National Library of Peru. The LCC building was built on an area of 10,884 m2 and was inaugurated on October 1 2015.
From monitoring by Indonesian Media, hundreds of Peruvian special police forces have carried out tight security. Peruvian special police forces are seen wearing full dark green uniforms and black berets. They were also seen carrying complete weapons.
Not only that, there were a number of police cars and ambulances on standby near the event location. The entrance and exit of the APEC Summit area are strictly guarded when every delegation and vehicle enters and exits.
All delegates from various countries are required to enter the area using special IDs. So far, representatives from Brunei Darussalam, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia have visited the APEC Summit venue in Lima, Peru.

How does the establishment of a special media center impact Indonesia’s representation during the APEC Summit?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Gonzalez, International Relations Expert, on Indonesia’s Participation in APEC Summit 2023**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Gonzalez. As we prepare for the APEC Summit happening in Lima, Peru, with Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto in attendance, what do you think are the key goals for Indonesia at this event?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** Thank you for having me. Indonesia’s participation in APEC is crucial, especially as it holds one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia. The key goals will likely revolve around promoting trade cooperation, sustainable development, and enhancing regional stability. President Prabowo’s leadership can significantly influence regional economies, particularly in sectors like agriculture and digital trade.
**Editor:** There are reports of a special media center set up for journalists covering the summit. How significant is this for the representation of Indonesia’s presence on the global stage?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** It’s very significant. The media center provides a vital platform for journalists to report on developments accurately and comprehensively. By accommodating local and international media, Indonesia not only showcases transparency but also enhances its image as a nation that values open dialogue and cooperation. This is particularly important for fostering relationships with other APEC nations.
**Editor:** Speaking of media attention, how do you think Prabowo’s speech on the final day will resonate, especially considering the context of the summit?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** I believe his speech will be pivotal. It provides him an opportunity to address pressing issues such as climate change, trade inequality, and technological advancement in the Asia-Pacific region. His message will resonate greatly if he can articulate Indonesia’s vision for collaboration and express commitment to shared challenges. A strong performance could elevate Indonesia’s profile on the global stage.
**Editor:** Lastly, the APEC Summit is taking place in a cultural hub of Lima. How can the location influence the discussions and outcomes of the summit?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** The cultural backdrop of Lima can foster a spirit of collaboration and respect among the delegates. Being in such a historical and culturally rich environment can inspire leaders to think beyond economic metrics and consider cultural exchanges that strengthen ties. It can lead to discussions centered not just on trade, but on cultural diplomacy, which can have lasting impacts on relationships within the Asia-Pacific region.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Gonzalez, for your insights on this important summit. We look forward to seeing how Indonesia’s participation unfolds at the APEC Summit in Peru.
**Dr. Gonzalez:** Thank you for having me. It’s an exciting time for Indonesia and the entire Asia-Pacific region.
