RI PRESIDENT Prabowo Subianto will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) High Level Conference (KTT) which will be held on November 11-16 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 potential impacts of President Prabowo Subianto’s leadership on Indonesia’s role in APEC?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Chen, APEC Expert and International Relations Scholar**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Chen. As the 31st APEC Summit unfolds in Lima, Peru, can you share the significance of this event for member economies, especially for Indonesia under President Prabowo Subianto’s leadership?
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you for having me. The APEC Summit is a critical platform for discussing and promoting economic cooperation among the 21 member economies in the Asia-Pacific region. For Indonesia, it’s an opportunity to strengthen its influence and showcase its commitment to free trade and economic development, particularly in light of the challenges posed by global geopolitical tensions and economic fluctuations.
**Interviewer:** What are the main objectives of APEC, and how are they relevant today?
**Dr. Chen:** APEC’s primary objectives include promoting free trade and investment, enhancing regional economic integration, and fostering sustainable economic growth. These goals are incredibly relevant today, as countries are navigating the complexities of post-pandemic recovery, climate change, and technological advancements. APEC allows member economies to collaborate on these issues and find collective solutions.
**Interviewer:** We’ve heard that the media center at this year’s summit is well-equipped and even offers complimentary food for journalists. Why is media coverage important in an event like APEC?
**Dr. Chen:** Media coverage plays a vital role in disseminating information and engaging the public with the high-level discussions occurring at the summit. It helps inform citizens about trade agreements, policy changes, and economic strategies that could affect their lives. A well-supported media presence also ensures transparency and accountability among the attending leaders.
**Interviewer:** President Prabowo is set to deliver a speech on the final day of the summit. What key messages do you think he should focus on?
**Dr. Chen:** I believe he should emphasize Indonesia’s dedication to sustainable development and digital transformation within the APEC framework. Highlighting initiatives that foster inclusivity and connectivity in the region could resonate well with other member economies. He might also address specific economic partnerships that can bolster trade and investment flows into and out of Indonesia.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, what do you foresee as the outcomes of this summit?
**Dr. Chen:** While predicting specific outcomes can be tricky, I anticipate discussions will lead to renewed commitments towards trade facilitation and joint initiatives in tackling pressing global issues, such as climate change and post-pandemic recovery. Additionally, we may see the development of action plans or frameworks that enhance collaboration within the APEC region.
