WASHINGTON -- The U.S. will play host to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in 2023, the White House said Thursday.
"President [Joe] Biden and Vice President [Kamala] Harris offered to host APEC next year because of our focus on expanding and deepening economic ties in the region -- and we thank our fellow APEC economies for supporting the U.S. offer to host," press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
