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 APEC address climate change and disaster management among its member economies?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Alvarez, International Relations Expert on APEC and Its Significance for Indonesia**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Alvarez. With the 31st APEC Summit currently underway in Lima, Peru, what significance does this event hold for member economies, particularly Indonesia?
**Dr. Alvarez:** Thank you for having me. The APEC Summit is crucial for promoting economic cooperation and free trade across the Asia-Pacific region. For Indonesia, President Prabowo Subianto’s participation exemplifies the nation’s commitment to strengthening its economic ties within the region. The summit provides a platform for leaders to address shared challenges, engage in dialogue, and enhance partnerships that can lead to sustainable economic growth.
**Editor:** How does APEC benefit its member economies in practical terms?
**Dr. Alvarez:** APEC facilitates trade and investment liberalization, which can lead to reduced tariffs and enhanced market access for member economies. By engaging in APEC activities, Indonesia can attract foreign investment, promote its exports, and gain opportunities to engage in capacity building with other economies. Moreover, it helps in addressing cross-border issues like climate change and disaster management collaboratively.
**Editor:** What can we expect from President Prabowo’s speech at the summit?
**Dr. Alvarez:** President Prabowo’s address will likely emphasize Indonesia’s strategic position in the region and its economic initiatives. He may highlight Indonesia’s efforts in digital economy, sustainability, and inclusive growth, as these topics are becoming increasingly vital in APEC discussions. His speech will also be an opportunity to advocate for stronger economic partnerships and foster greater cooperation among member states.
**Editor:** The media center at the summit has been described as well-equipped for coverage. How important is media presence at such international summits?
**Dr. Alvarez:** Media presence is vital for ensuring transparency and public engagement. It helps inform citizens about national leaders’ commitments and the outcomes of such summits. A strong media presence also facilitates an exchange of ideas among journalists from various countries, which can enhance cross-cultural understanding and foster a global dialogue on pertinent issues.
**Editor:** Lastly, what should members of the public look out for as the summit concludes?
**Dr. Alvarez:** As the summit wraps up, keep an eye on the final communique that will outline the outcomes and agreements reached. It’s also important to monitor how Indonesia plans to implement the decisions made at the summit and how these will impact the economy and society at large. This could set the stage for Indonesia’s future engagement with APEC and influence its bilateral relations with other member states.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Alvarez, for your insights. We look forward to seeing how the outcomes of this summit unfold.
**Dr. Alvarez:** My pleasure, and thank you for shining a light on this important event.
