APEC Chile 2019 would have been an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) series of meetings in Chile.[2][3] The meetings were supposed to take place in Santiago and focus on the digital economy, regional connectivity, and women's role in economic growth.[1][4]

Chile previously hosted an APEC meeting in 2004. The 2019 summit was cancelled on 30 October due to ongoing protests.[5]

This would have been the first APEC meeting for Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra, Vietnamese President Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Papua New Guinean Prime Minister James Marape after their inaugurations and appointments on March 23, 2018, October 23, 2018, December 1, 2018, and May 30, 2019, respectively.

The only leader not in attendance would have been Russian President Vladimir Putin, who cited domestic priorities.[6] Putin was planned to be represented by former Russian President, then-Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Cancellation

[edit]

APEC Chile 2019 was canceled due to large protests occurring across Chile. COP25, the United Nations conference focusing on climate change, was canceled at the same time. Chilean president Sebastian Pinera tweeted: "As president, I have the duty to put the needs of Chileans first. That is why, sadly, we decided to cancel the APEC and COP summits to guarantee order and peace [and] focus on dialogue and #NuevaAgendaSocial in order to produce urgent solutions to the main demands".[9]
