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.

How might Indonesia’s leadership influence discussions on sustainability and economic growth at the APEC Summit?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Santos, Political Analyst on the Significance of APEC 2023**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Santos. We’re excited to discuss the APEC Summit taking place in San Francisco. Could you elaborate on the significance of this year’s summit?
**Dr. Maria Santos:** Absolutely, thank you for having me! The APEC Summit is crucial because it brings together leaders from 21 member economies to discuss trade and economic issues that impact the Asia-Pacific region. This year’s summit, the first hosted by the United States since 2011, is particularly significant given the heightened tensions in global trade and the ongoing discussions around digital innovation, climate change, and economic recovery post-pandemic.
**Interviewer:** What are some of the key topics that you think will be addressed at the summit?
**Dr. Maria Santos:** We can expect discussions on enhancing trade partnerships, promoting sustainable economic growth, and addressing challenges related to supply chain disruptions. Additionally, there will likely be dialogues on how to navigate the political and economic rivalry between the U.S. and China, especially with leaders from both nations attending.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of attendance, how important is the presence of both President Biden and President Xi at this summit?
**Dr. Maria Santos:** Their presence is significant as it symbolizes the desire of both countries to engage in dialogue despite their tensions. It’s an opportunity for both leaders to address mutual interests in trade and stability in the region. Their discussions could set the tone for bilateral relations moving forward, which is particularly important given the global repercussions of their economic policies.
**Interviewer:** Moving on to President Prabowo Subianto’s upcoming speech at the APEC Summit in Peru, what do you think will be the focus of Indonesia’s message?
**Dr. Maria Santos:** Indonesia is likely to emphasize regional cooperation and the role of emerging economies in driving sustainable development. As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has a pivotal role in promoting inclusive economic growth and stability in the region. Prabowo Subianto may also address food security and environmental sustainability, which are pressing issues at the forefront of APEC discussions.
**Interviewer:** what impact do you believe the outcomes of this summit will have on global trade?
**Dr. Maria Santos:** The outcomes of the APEC Summit can significantly influence global trade policies, especially if member economies can unify their approaches toward trade liberalization and innovation. A cohesive strategy from APEC leaders can foster stability and predictability in trade relations amid uncertainties in other global markets. It could also inspire collective actions on shared challenges, such as climate change and digital transformation.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Santos, for sharing your insights on APEC 2023. It will be interesting to see how this summit shapes the future of trade in the Asia-Pacific region.
**Dr. Maria Santos:** Thank you for having me! I’m looking forward to the developments that will arise from this significant gathering of leaders.
