Peru is gearing up to host APEC 2024, and Juan Aurelio Arevalo, Editor-in-Chief of Peru’s oldest newspaper El Comercio, says it’s a golden ticket for the country. In an interview with CGTN, Arevalo highlighted how the event could supercharge Peru’s economy and global reputation.
\"Hosting APEC isn’t just about meetings—it’s about putting Peru on the map,\" Arevalo explained. With global leaders and investors converging in Lima, the country could attract major trade deals and tech partnerships.
But it’s not all business! The event will spotlight Peru’s rich culture and tourism gems, from Machu Picchu to its culinary scene. Arevalo also emphasized infrastructure upgrades, like new sustainable transport systems, that’ll benefit locals long after the summit ends.
For young professionals and entrepreneurs? A chance to network with APEC’s 21 member economies. Students and travelers, meanwhile, get front-row seats to a cultural fiesta.
