APEC Summit“/>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.

**Dr. Santosa**: Thank you for having me. Indonesia’s participation in APEC is critical, especially regarding sustainable economic development and trade partnerships. I believe that President Prabowo should emphasize initiatives aimed at strengthening regional supply chains, particularly in the wake of recent global disruptions. Climate change and digital economy advancements are also crucial discussions we need to champion.
**Editor**: The media center for the summit has been set up to facilitate coverage. How significant is the media’s role during high-level conferences like APEC?
**Dr. Santosa**: The media plays an essential role in high-level conferences like APEC, as it helps convey the discussions, agreements, and the overall atmosphere to the public. It ensures transparency and informs citizens about their country’s position on international issues. The provision of facilities and free meals for media personnel is a positive step to encourage robust coverage.
**Editor**: President Prabowo is scheduled to give a speech on the final day of the summit. What impact do you think this will have on Indonesia’s international standing?
**Dr. Santosa**: The president’s speech is a significant opportunity for Indonesia to assert its position as a leader in the Asia-Pacific region. It will allow for the articulation of Indonesia’s economic strategies and partnership goals. A well-delivered speech can enhance Indonesia’s credibility and foster stronger diplomatic ties.
**Editor**: with the summit taking place in a location like the Lima Convention Center, which is situated in the cultural heart of Peru, what advantages does this offer for the participating nations?
**Dr. Santosa**: Hosting the summit in a culturally rich and strategic location like the Lima Convention Center fosters a sense of connection and collaboration among nations. It provides a backdrop for bilateral discussions and cultural exchanges that can enhance relationships. This setting can also attract global attention, showcasing Peru not just as a host but as an active player in international cooperation.
