The APEC Peru 2024 will be the annual meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (in English, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, APEC) of its leaders that will be held from 10 to 16 November 2024.

In 2021, Óscar Maúrtua, the minister of foreign affairs of Peru, announced the organization of the 2024 APEC summit.[1] On February 10, 2022, the prime minister of Thailand, Prayut Chan-o-cha, in his capacity as current president of APEC, announced the United States as host of the 2023 meeting and Peru for 2024.[2] [3]

Participants

This will be the first APEC meeting for Singaporean prime minister Lawrence Wong, who assumed the premiership on 15 May; Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who assumed premiership on 16 August; Indonesian president Prabowo Subianto, who is assuming the presidency on 20 October; Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, who is assuming the presidency on 1 October; and Vietnamese president Tô Lâm, who assumed the presidency on 22 May 2024, following the resignation of his predecessor Võ Văn Thưởng. This would also be Taiwan's president Lai Ching-te's first APEC summit, assuming the presidency on 20 May. However, he is expected to appoint Morris Chang as Taiwan's representative to the summit; Morris previously represented Taiwan from the 2018 to 2023 summits. On the other hand, this is expected to be United States president Joe Biden's final APEC summit after withdrawing from the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
