APEC leaders close summit by condemning terror attacks
MANILA, Philippines – Twenty-one Asia-Pacific leaders concluded their annual meeting on Thursday, November 19, by condemning recent terror attacks, which cast a shadow on the high-level economic summit.
Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) called for increased global cooperation to fight terrorism following the Paris attacks that killed 129, the twin blasts in Beirut, and the downed Russian passenger plane over Egypt.
US President Barack Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, and Philippine President Benigno Aquino III were among those who endorsed the APEC Leaders’ Declaration after a meeting in Manila.
