Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Peru for the APEC summit to discuss the evolving Pacific situation and maintain peace. The United States, Peru, Indonesia and China are also part of the summit. In his speech, Albanese declared: “In every region of the world, peace, security and stability do not depend only on prosperity; but they are the foundation for achieving the goal. We stand with the international community hoping to help find a solution for peace in the Middle East and we condemn Russia for invading Ukraine and for accepting help from North Korea’s military to fight a neutral country. China is a great economic power and there is no discussion about it, but we remain open to any peaceful discussion. “
It seems to be understood that President Xi Jinping is trying to make bilateral treaties with the APEC countries. China, as we know, makes fabulous investments that profit it economically and politically, allowing it to expand more and more. Now, we are told, Indonesia is also slowly rising from the crisis. It could become an important player in the Pacific.
