It marks the second time Peru will be playing host to the APEC, having hosted the event previously in 2008.

Agenda

Four priority areas were laid out as topics to be discussed for the 2016 APEC summit. These are Human Capital Development, Upgrading SMEs, Regional Food Market, and Regional Economic Integration Agenda. These subjects were chosen to built upon on the discussions from the previous APEC summit in the Philippines.[2]
