APEC Summit“/>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 can APEC improve its approach to sustainability and digital trade in light of current global challenges?
**Interview with Dr. Maria Chen, Expert on International Trade and APEC**
**Editor:** Welcome, Dr. Chen. Thank you for joining us to discuss the APEC Summit happening in Lima, Peru. With Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto attending, what significance do you see in this event for the Asia-Pacific region?
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you for having me. The APEC Summit is crucial for the Asia-Pacific region as it provides a platform for member economies to discuss and promote free trade and economic integration. President Prabowo’s attendance underscores Indonesia’s commitment to these ideals and highlights the importance of collaboration among economies in addressing common challenges such as trade tensions and climate change.
**Editor:** It sounds like a pivotal moment for regional cooperation. What are some of the key issues likely to be discussed during this summit?
**Dr. Chen:** Participants will likely focus on enhancing trade facilitation, improving supply chain resilience, and addressing emerging challenges like digital trade and sustainability. Given the current geopolitical landscape, there may also be discussions on how to navigate trade relations in a post-pandemic world.
**Editor:** How does the structure of APEC, particularly its focus on voluntary cooperation rather than binding agreements, impact its effectiveness?
**Dr. Chen:** APEC’s flexible structure allows member economies to pursue individualized strategies that suit their specific contexts. While this can sometimes lead to slower consensus-building, it also enables members to share best practices and foster collaboration without the constraints of formal agreements. This adaptability is one of APEC’s strengths.
**Editor:** The media center at the summit is receiving attention, including provisions for journalists. How important is media coverage in shaping public perception of APEC and its outcomes?
**Dr. Chen:** Media coverage is vital. It not only informs the public about APEC’s discussions and decisions but also holds leaders accountable. A well-informed public can engage in dialogue about economic policies and their implications, which is essential for democratic governance and civic engagement in member economies.
**Editor:** Given the ongoing challenges the world faces, what outcomes would you consider most beneficial from the 31st APEC Summit?
**Dr. Chen:** Ideally, we would see concrete commitments to enhancing trade partnerships, steps toward sustainable economic practices, and a renewed focus on inclusive growth. If APEC can manage to address both trade and social issues effectively, it would mark a significant advancement for the region.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Chen, for your insights on the significance of the APEC Summit and its potential impacts on the Asia-Pacific economies.
**Dr. Chen:** My pleasure! Thank you for the opportunity to discuss such an important event.
