New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Luxon is attending his first Apec summit in Peru, aiming to maximize his schedule with key world leaders, including China’s President Xi Jinping. He hopes for an informal meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden. Luxon plans to engage in several sideline meetings, emphasizing their importance for smaller countries like New Zealand. He aims to strengthen relationships and maintain New Zealand's influence with larger nations. This trip comes after Luxon missed last year's summit due to coalition talks. His absence from Parliament during a critical bill's passage has drawn criticism, but he maintains that Apec has been a priority on his agenda.
