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.

**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Gonzalez. Can you share your insights on the significance of the 31st APEC Summit taking place in Lima, Peru?
**Dr. Gonzalez:** Thank you for having me. The APEC Summit is crucial for fostering economic cooperation among the Asia-Pacific nations. This year, with President Prabowo Subianto attending, it emphasizes Indonesia’s active role in regional policies. The summit is an opportunity for member economies to discuss trade facilitation, digital economy, and sustainable development, which are all pivotal as we recover from the impacts of the pandemic.

**Dr. Gonzalez:** The establishment of a dedicated media center is a commendable move. It ensures that journalists have access to critical information, can interact with officials, and updates can be broadcasted widely. This openness helps promote transparency and allows the public to engage with the discussions and decisions made at the summit. Plus, the fact that there’s attention to journalists’ basic needs, like food and workspace, shows the importance of supporting those who inform the public.

**Dr. Gonzalez:** The atmosphere is vibrant and charged with anticipation. Lima is a beautiful city, and hosting such a global event attracts not only the media but also delegates from varying nations, creating a culturally rich environment. The proximity of the convention center to significant cultural landmarks like the Museo de la Nación adds to the experience, allowing delegates to appreciate Peru’s heritage while they work.
