In 2021,Óscar Maúrtua, the minister of foreign affairs of Peru, announced the organization of the 2024 APEC summit.[1] On 10 February 2022, the prime minister of Thailand,Prayut Chan-o-cha, in his capacity as current president of APEC, announced theUnited States as host of the 2023 meeting and Peru for 2024.[2][3]

This meeting would also beTaiwanese PresidentLai Ching-te's first APEC summit under his presidency, having assumed it on 20 May. However, Lai appointedLin Hsin-i as Taiwan'srepresentative to the summit; Lin previously represented Taiwan at the2005 summit.

On the other hand, this was the only APEC meeting forThai Prime MinisterPaetongtarn Shinawatra, who assumed the premiership on 16 August, as well as forJapanese Prime MinisterShigeru Ishiba, who assumed the premiership on 1 October. Both Shinawatra and Ishiba stepped down from their respective posts the following year, as theThai Constitutional Court upheld the verdict of Shinawatra's removal from office on 29 August 2025,[7][8] while Ishiba resigned a few days later on 7 September 2025 to avoid a rift in the rulingLiberal Democratic Party.[9]
Mexican PresidentClaudia Sheinbaum,Papua New Guinean Prime MinisterJames Marape andPhilippine PresidentBongbong Marcos announced that they would not attend APEC Peru 2024 meeting, which would have been the first in-person APEC meeting for Sheinbaum; while on the other hand, Marcos cited therecent typhoons affecting the Philippines as a reason of his absence to the summit. Instead, Sheinbaum, Marape and Marcos have designatedMexican Economic SecretaryMarcelo Ebrard, Papua New Guinean DeputyPrime MinisterJohn Rosso and then-actingPhilippine Trade and Industry SecretaryCristina Aldeguer-Roque as their respective representatives to the summit.[10][11] Meanwhile,Russian PresidentVladimir Putin did not attend the summit because Peru isa member of theInternational Criminal Court, which has issued anarrest warrant against Putin for his war crimes relating on theRussian invasion of Ukraine, and hence it is highly likely that the PeruvianMinistry of Justice would implement the warrant to arrest the Russian president; withDeputy Prime MinisterAlexey Overchuk designated to serve as Putin's representative to the summit, instead.
