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 APEC Summit address the challenges of post-pandemic economic recovery for Southeast Asian nations?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Gonzalez, APEC Expert and Analyst**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. Gonzalez. As President Prabowo Subianto attends the 31st APEC Summit in Lima, Peru, what significance does this event hold for Indonesia and the region?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** Thank you for having me. The APEC Summit is crucial for Indonesia, as it is one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia and a key player in regional trade. President Prabowo’s participation highlights Indonesia’s commitment to fostering economic cooperation and sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region. The summit will also provide a platform for Indonesia to discuss trade opportunities and collaborations that can boost its economy post-pandemic.
**Editor:** What are some of the key topics expected to be addressed during this summit?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** APEC summits often focus on trade and investment liberalization, digital economy developments, and sustainable growth. This year, I anticipate discussions on post-COVID recovery strategies, climate change initiatives, and the increasing importance of technology in economic resilience. Cooperation on these fronts will be critical as countries navigate the complexities of global supply chains and economic disparities.
**Editor:** The media center setup at the Lima Convention Center seems well equipped for journalists. Why is the role of the media particularly important during such summits?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** Absolutely, the media plays a vital role in covering the summit’s proceedings and disseminating information to the public. The thoughtful arrangement of facilities for journalists, such as the APEC Peru Summit Media Center, ensures that accurate and timely updates are available. This is essential for transparency and accountability, allowing citizens to follow significant developments and understand the implications of the discussions taking place.
**Editor:** As President Prabowo is scheduled to give a speech on the final day, what kind of topics do you expect him to address?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** I expect President Prabowo to discuss Indonesia’s strategic vision for economic growth, emphasizing collaboration in trade and investment. He may also address issues like climate change and digital transformation, showcasing Indonesia’s potential as a leader in the region. His speech will likely underline Indonesia’s readiness to engage with other APEC nations in tackling global challenges collectively.
**Editor:** Lastly, what does a successful APEC Summit look like for member countries, particularly for Indonesia?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** A successful APEC Summit is characterized by meaningful dialogue that leads to actionable agreements. For Indonesia, success would mean forging stronger bilateral relationships, securing investment commitments, and enhancing trade ties. It’s also about setting a collaborative tone that can continue beyond the summit, addressing shared challenges and fostering stability in the region.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Gonzalez, for your insights on this significant event. We look forward to seeing how it unfolds in the coming days.
