At a 15th press briefing on APEC business events, China Council for the
Promotion of International Trade vice‑chair Li Qingshuang said representatives
of 115 Fortune Global 500 companies will attend the APEC Business Leaders'

foreign economies. Heads of several international organisations and business
associations from the United States, Russia and Japan are also expected to
attend.
