“I’m delighted that San Francisco was chosen to host the 2023 APEC Leaders Meeting and congratulate the city on its successful bid. California has long been an economic and cultural bridge between the United States and Asia, making our city the perfect choice to welcome the heads of state and other world leaders.“From combating climate change and promoting sustainability to encouraging greater economic freedom and cooperation, California is leading the way on many of the issues that will be the focus of the summit.
