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 might the media coverage from the APEC Summit influence public perception of international relations in the Asia-Pacific region?
### Interview with Dr. Amelia Hartman, International Relations Expert
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Hartman. We’re here to discuss Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto’s attendance at the APEC Summit in Lima, Peru. What do you think are the key implications of his participation in this summit?
**Dr. Hartman:** Thank you for having me. President Prabowo’s presence at the 31st APEC Summit is significant for several reasons. First, it demonstrates Indonesia’s commitment to collaboration within the Asia-Pacific region, aiming to strengthen economic ties and security partnerships. Given the current global economic climate, this summit serves as a platform for leaders to address pressing issues like trade disputes and climate change.
**Editor:** You mentioned economic ties. Can you elaborate on what specific outcomes we might expect from this high-level meeting?
**Dr. Hartman:** Certainly. One major expectation is the potential for new trade agreements or the reinforcement of existing ones. Indonesia, as a growing economy, seeks to attract investments and enhance trade relationships with other member countries. Moreover, Prabowo’s speech on the final day might provide insights into Indonesia’s strategic priorities moving forward and how it intends to navigate challenges in the region.
**Editor:** It was reported that the APEC Summit’s media center is well-equipped for local and international journalists, including provisions for their comfort. How important are these arrangements for media coverage of such significant events?
**Dr. Hartman:** Media arrangements are crucial, especially at international summits. A well-organized media center allows journalists to report effectively and stay informed about the proceedings. Providing comfort, such as food and drinks, ensures that reporters can focus on their work without excessive distractions. This encouragement of robust media coverage can lead to greater transparency and public engagement with the discussions taking place.
**Editor:** Lastly, what does the location of the summit—the Lima Convention Center—mean for Peru and its cultural significance?
**Dr. Hartman:** Hosting the APEC Summit is a point of pride for Peru, highlighting its role in the international arena. The Lima Convention Center, located near cultural landmarks like the Museo de la Nación, symbolizes Peru’s blend of modernity and tradition. This venue not only showcases Peru as a hospitable nation but also allows delegates to appreciate its rich culture, which can foster goodwill and facilitate diplomatic conversations.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Hartman, for sharing your insights on this important event. We look forward to seeing how the summit unfolds and the potential impacts on the Asia-Pacific region.
**Dr. Hartman:** My pleasure. It will be interesting to see the outcomes, and I’m hopeful for positive developments in international relations.
