When APEC leaders were looking for Biden

According to RCO News Agency, Chinese President Xi Jinping was one of the first leaders to appear on stage for a group photo; A photo in which all the leaders put a brown scarf on their necks and were talking to Peruvian President Dina Bolvarte shortly before this moment was recorded.

Bloomberg News media reported: “Joe Biden,” the current president of the United States, was the last leader who appeared in this gathering and stood in the back row and in the right corner of the picture.

According to the released videos, this delay by President Biden caused the leaders to hesitate, and apparently everyone at the meeting was looking for the President of the United States when they took a group photo.

Bloomberg writes that this position was similar to 2016, when Peru last hosted the summit. At that time, US President Barack Obama was in the back row and in the corner, and Xi was standing next to the Peruvian leader.

While this composition is usually in alphabetical order, it has a different configuration. Last year, when the summit was hosted by the United States in San Francisco, the countries starting with the letter A were closer to Biden as the host, and thus Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was closer to the middle, and Xi was more on the side. had This year, Albanese was in the front row and on the right.

This American media emphasizes: “Xi used this summit to consolidate China’s position as a bastion of economic globalization before Trump’s return. Also, the deep gap between the world’s 2 largest economies and the outbreak of wars in Europe and the Middle East have led to a sadder collective image than in previous years.
