New Zealand to host APEC summit in online format


New Zealand will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in 2021 in an online format, New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters said in an official statement. COVID-19 has a serious impact on the protocols of international diplomacy. This also applies to the APEC summit, which, like many other intergovernmental events, will be held using virtual digital platforms, he said. He stressed that in connection with the pandemic of coronavirus infection, it would not be advisable to hold a summit in New Zealand. According to the news agency, earlier in New Zealand they began to re-detect cases of infection with a new type of coronavirus after 26 days of absence of new patients. So, on June 28, four infected people were identified in the country who returned to New Zealand from a foreign trip.
