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.

How does President Subianto’s anticipated speech reflect Indonesia’s stance on free trade and economic collaboration within APEC?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Chen, APEC Expert and Economic Analyst**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. Chen. As PRABOWO SUBIANTO attends the 31st APEC Summit in Lima, can you explain the significance of this event for the member economies?
**Dr. Chen:** Absolutely, thank you for having me. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC, serves as a vital platform for fostering economic cooperation and facilitating trade among its member economies. This year’s summit in Lima is particularly significant as it provides an opportunity for leaders to discuss pressing economic challenges and establish cooperative frameworks that can promote growth and stability in the region.
**Interviewer:** Given that the summit has a special media center to accommodate journalists, how important is media coverage for APEC summits?
**Dr. Chen:** Media coverage is essential for transparency and public engagement. It allows various stakeholders, including citizens, businesses, and policymakers, to understand the discussions and agreements made during the summit. The presence of local media, as seen with Indonesian outlets and others in Peru, ensures that diverse perspectives are shared and that the initiatives discussed can reach a wider audience.
**Interviewer:** What specific outcomes do you anticipate from President Subianto’s speech during the summit?
**Dr. Chen:** President Subianto’s speech will likely focus on reinforcing Indonesia’s commitment to free trade and economic collaboration in the Asia-Pacific. I expect him to address issues such as digital trade, sustainable development, and the importance of inclusive growth, especially in light of recent global economic challenges.
**Interviewer:** The APEC Summit also emphasizes the significance of food and provisions for journalists covering the event. Why is this aspect important?
**Dr. Chen:** This demonstrates a welcoming environment for journalists, which is crucial for maintaining morale and productivity. Providing food and beverages fosters a supportive atmosphere, helps media representatives focus on their work, and contributes to the overall success of the event. It acknowledges the hard work journalists do in covering such important international gatherings.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, how do events like the APEC Summit influence the broader geopolitical landscape in the Asia-Pacific region?
**Dr. Chen:** Events like the APEC Summit can significantly influence geopolitics by shaping trade agreements, fostering bilateral and multilateral relationships, and addressing collective security issues. The discussions and agreements forged can lead to stronger economic ties, potentially easing tensions and promoting peace within the region. Thus, the outcomes can resonate well beyond economic topics, impacting diplomatic relations and regional stability.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Chen, for sharing your insights on this important event.
