Over 13,000 police officers are deployed in Lima for the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, attended by leaders from 21 nations, including Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. Peru’s Interior Ministry confirmed high-tech security measures, including biometric recognition software and drone defense systems. President Dina Boluarte declared three days of holiday and canceled classes during the summit. Meanwhile, transportation unions plan strikes to protest rising crime, including recent murders of bus drivers linked to organized crime. Lima hosts the APEC summit for the third time, following events in 2008 and 2016.
