Year of the World Summits

Since several international conventions will be held in Peru this year, the Peruvian government has declared 2008 as the “Year of the World Summits”. Among the main events are: the V Latin American and the Caribbean – Europe Union Head of State and Government Summit, which was attended by 60 heads of States/Government from both regional blocs; and the XVI Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit (APEC) that will gather officials from the 21 member economies of the region.
