New Zealand to Attend APEC and East Asia Summit: Luxon Heads to China, Peters to the Philippines
The New Zealand Government announced on November 13, 2026, that New Zealand will be represented by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay at the APEC Leaders' Meeting in China, and by Foreign Minister Winston Peters at the East Asia Summit in the Philippines.
The arrangement was announced jointly by Prime Minister Luxon, Minister McClay and Minister Peters. The APEC Leaders' Meeting and the East Asia Summit are among the region's most important annual multilateral diplomatic occasions, and New Zealand's trade and foreign policy are deeply tied to the Asia-Pacific.
Under the published schedule, APEC Economic Leaders' Week is being held in China, with the East Asia Summit following in the Philippines, where leaders will exchange views on regional economic cooperation and security issues. (Source: New Zealand Government)
