China's Wang Yi, Wang Wentao to share the gavel at APEC ministerial
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Commerce Minister Wang Wentao will co-chair the APEC Ministerial Meeting on November 3, a video conference with Beijing listed as the official venue. Spokesperson Mao Ning confirmed the lineup Monday. It's the warm-up act for the APEC leaders' summit in Shenzhen later in November.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry laid out its lineup Monday: Wang Yi and Wang Wentao will share the chair at APEC's ministerial gathering. Spokesperson Mao Ning confirmed the arrangement at a press conference, with Beijing recorded as the meeting's official location. The whole thing runs by video conference on November 3.
That session pulls together foreign ministers plus commerce and trade ministers from economies across the Asia-Pacific. One virtual room, a long list of agendas, and a tight window to get through them.
The ministerial is the undercard. The APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting lands in Shenzhen on November 18 and 19, hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping. According to Breaking The News, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are allegedly among the counterparts expected to show.
Before the leaders take their seats, trade, energy and finance ministers are running their own rounds of encounters, setting the table for Shenzhen.
Keep an eye on November 3. Whatever ministers settle on during that call shapes what Xi and the rest of the leaders walk into two weeks later.
