KUALA LUMPUR -- World leaders are set to meet webcam to webcam this week, when Malaysia holds a virtual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit amid the coronavirus pandemic.
This was supposed to be a moment of glory for Mahathir Mohamad, who was eager to host the forum for the second time as Malaysia's prime minister, after presiding over APEC in 1998. The 95-year-old would have been the first leader to do it twice.
