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.

What are the key challenges faced by Indonesia in achieving its goals at the APEC Summit?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Gonzales, International Relations Expert**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Gonzales. The 31st APEC Summit is currently taking place in Lima, Peru, where Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is among the leaders in attendance. Can you start by explaining the significance of APEC in the Asia-Pacific region?
**Dr. Gonzales:** Thank you for having me. APEC, or the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, is crucial because it comprises 21 member economies that together represent a significant portion of global trade and economic growth. Its primary goal is to promote free trade and economic integration among these economies, which is essential for fostering economic cooperation and development in a region known for its diversity and dynamic economies.
**Editor:** With President Prabowo attending, what do you think Indonesia hopes to achieve at this summit?
**Dr. Gonzales:** Indonesia has been positioning itself as a leader in the ASEAN region, and participation in APEC provides a platform to showcase its economic potential and diplomatic capabilities. At this summit, President Prabowo likely aims to strengthen trade relationships, attract investment into Indonesia, and push for policies that benefit developing economies. Moreover, he will be speaking on the last day, which signifies the importance of Indonesia’s role in fostering dialogue and collaboration.
**Editor:** Interesting! There’s also a dedicated media center set up for reporters covering this event. What does that suggest about the media’s role during APEC summits?
**Dr. Gonzales:** The establishment of a media center highlights the importance of transparency and communication during such significant gatherings. It allows for efficient reporting and coverage of discussions, decisions, and outcomes, ensuring that the public stays informed. Moreover, providing facilities, food, and drinks also aids in creating a conducive work environment for journalists, which reflects an understanding of the demands on media personnel during such large-scale events.
**Editor:** As a final question, can you discuss the broader implications of the APEC Summit for the global economy?
**Dr. Gonzales:** Absolutely. The decisions made at APEC summits can influence trade policies not only in the Asia-Pacific region but globally as well. APEC serves as a platform for discussing pressing issues like climate change, digital trade, and sustainable development, which are increasingly relevant in our globalized world. The collaboration and agreements made here can drive economic growth and address shared challenges, fostering a more resilient global economy.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Gonzales, for your insights into the significance and impact of the APEC Summit.
**Dr. Gonzales:** My pleasure! Thank you for having me.
