President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is set to fly to San Francisco, California, USA next week to participate in the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit.
This was announced by Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Charles Jose at a Palace press briefing on Tuesday.
On its official website, APEC said that its 21 member economies account for nearly 40% of the global population, almost half of global trade, and approximately 60% of global GDP.
As of 2021, APEC member states were the destination for more than 60% of US goods exports and seven of the top 10 overall trading partners for the US are APEC members.
