The meeting will take place on November 18-19 under the theme “Building an Asia-Pacific Community to Prosper Together.”

Xi will also attend the APEC Managerial Summit on November 17-18 in the same city, themed “Jointly Boosting Prosperity and Building a Future of Shared Gains.”

The president will deliver speeches at both events and is expected to advocate for openness, innovation, and cooperation as three priority areas.

During his stay in Shenzhen, he will host a welcome banquet for participating leaders or representatives and hold bilateral meetings with foreign heads of State.

This summit is particularly notable as it is a tripartite meeting among the presidents of the United States (Donald Trump), Russia (Vladimir Putin), and China, although organizers have not yet confirmed it.
