1,500 to attend Apec CEO Summit

ABOUT 1,500 business and political leaders are set to attend a top business event next week at Suntec Singapore as part of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) meetings.

The two-day Apec CEO Summit - first started in 1996 - has never drawn so many participants before, according to the organising committee.

The star attractions will be world leaders such as United States President Barack Obama, Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. They will be among 14 leaders of Apec’s 21 economies speaking at the CEO Summit on Nov 13 and 14.

The event’s guest list reads like a who’s who of the political world, with Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, Hong Kong chief executive Donald Tsang, Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono also in attendance.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will deliver the opening keynote address.

Other big names taking centre stage at the summit are World Bank president Robert Zoellick, US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, Oracle executive vice-president Derek Williams and HSBC chairman Stephen Green.

For the first time, the public will have an opportunity to weigh in on the summit’s key issues via online forum asiapacvoices.com.
