Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The president of China is legally a ceremonial office, but the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (de facto leader in one-party communist state) has always held this office since 1993 except for the months of transition.
  2. ^ As a result of Russian invasion of Ukraine since 2022, the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against the Russian President Vladimir Putin,[2] and South Korea is also a member of the court, due to the arrest risk, it's expected to send a representative of Putin to participant the APEC summit.
  3. ^ Due to the complexities of the relations between it and the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China (ROC or "Taiwan") was not represented under its official name "Republic of China" or as "Taiwan". Instead, it participates in APEC under the name "Chinese Taipei". The president of the Republic of China does not attend the annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in person. Instead, it was generally represented by a ministerial-level official responsible for economic affairs or someone designated by the president. See List of Chinese Taipei representatives to APEC.[citation needed]
