What Does APEC Cover? What is the Leaders Meeting?

APEC covers a variety of issues important to the Asia-Pacific Region including: education, the environment, tourism and of course trade.

The leaders meeting is where the heads of the Asia–Pacific Countries (Prime Ministers, Presidents etc.) meet and come up with goals and make decisions about these things.

APEC Conferences
APEC meetings are held in different countries, in 2007 Australia held the APEC meeting in Sydney (this is when the 'Chaser' TV show performed the now infamous Osama Bin Laden prank). Over the years it has become a tradition to dress up in the host countries traditional dress for a photo at the conclusion of the meeting.
