RI PRESIDENT Prabowo Subianto will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit 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 key issues Indonesia is expected to focus on during the APEC Summit in Lima?
**Interview with Dr. Lina Santoso, Political Analyst and Expert on International Relations**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. Santoso. As Prabowo Subianto, the President of Indonesia, prepares to attend the APEC Summit in Lima, what do you see as the main focus for Indonesia at this year’s event?
**Dr. Santoso:** Thank you for having me. Indonesia will be focusing on several key issues at the APEC Summit, primarily economic cooperation and sustainable development. Given the challenges faced globally, including post-pandemic recovery and climate change, Indonesia is likely to emphasize the importance of collaboration among APEC nations to tackle these pressing issues together.
**Editor:** We’ve heard that the setup for the media is quite welcoming at the event. How important is the role of the media during such international summits?
**Dr. Santoso:** The media plays a crucial role in international summits as they bridge the gap between leaders and the public. By providing coverage and analysis, they help inform citizens about the decisions being made that could impact their lives. The provision of a media center with facilities and food for journalists, as seen at this APEC Summit, reflects the importance of enabling thorough and efficient reporting.
**Editor:** What is your expectation for President Prabowo’s speech on the last day of the summit?
**Dr. Santoso:** His speech will be pivotal as it will encapsulate Indonesia’s stance on various issues discussed throughout the summit. I anticipate he’ll highlight Indonesia’s commitment to enhancing trade relationships in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as addressing key topics like digital economy and sustainable practices. It’s an opportunity for him to showcase Indonesia as a vital player in APEC discussions.
**Editor:** Lastly, could you tell us about the significance of the venue, the Lima Convention Center?
**Dr. Santoso:** The Lima Convention Center is a strategic and symbolic choice for the APEC Summit. Located in a cultural heart of Lima, it represents Peru’s heritage while also serving as a modern facility for international dialogues. It’s important for the host country to present a venue that reflects both its tradition and its aspirations in global cooperation. The environment of the convention center encourages a productive atmosphere for negotiations and discussions.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Santoso, for your insights. We look forward to hearing more about the outcomes of the APEC Summit.
**Dr. Santoso:** My pleasure! I’m excited to see how this summit will shape the future of APEC collaborations.
