US President Barack Obama will attend the 17th Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation leaders meeting in Singapore scheduled later
this year, White House announced on Thursday.
"President Obama will attend the 17th Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) leaders' meeting in Singapore on November
14-15," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.
APEC is an important forum that brings together the dynamic
economies of the Pacific Rim and Singapore is an important partner
on a range of regional and global issues, Mr. Gibbs said.
"President Obama looks forward to working with APEC leaders to
promote open trade and investment, support economic recovery and
sustainable development, and address key challenges facing the
region and the world," he said.
Mr. Gibbs said Obama expects to visit other countries during his
trip to the region, but did not give the names.
