Full and first-class safety measures are guaranteed for leaders during the APEC 2016 Economic Leaders' Week currently underway in Lima (Peru), highlighted today Peruvian senior officials.

"There is full safety and great coordination with security staff of the economies that require special attention for their Leaders," stated Minister Raúl Salazar, a Peruvian APEC senior official.

"Peru has offered full and enough guarantees," he added at a press conference concerning progress on the forum agenda.

Likewise, the chair of the APEC Senior Officials' Meeting Luis Quesada emphasized measures "are impressive."

"I think these are first-class measures," he affirmed.

APEC 2016 Economic Leaders' Week kicked off last Monday with the Senior Officials' Meetings.
