San Francisco tightens security ahead of Asia-Pacific Leaders' Meeting

From 11 to 17 November, the United States is hosting APEC Economic Leaders’ Week in San Francisco, underscoring the commitment to promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth while bolstering American competitiveness in a free and open Asia-Pacific. The APEC is the premier platform for the United States to advance economic policies in the Asia-Pacific region that promote free, fair, and open trade and investment.
The United States will highlight the strength and resilience of the U.S. economy, the longstanding economic ties with the Asia-Pacific, the surge of job-creating investments from APEC economies into the United States in recent years, and the role of the U.S. economy in driving growth and innovation in the Asia-Pacific and globally.
