APEC summit marred by suspected North Korea ICBM test, protest

Asia-Pacific leaders gathered in Bangkok on Friday for a two-day summit to focus on global economic woes but North Korea marred the opening of the talks with a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile test, Qazet.az reports.

Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, the host, urged participants at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit to seek sustainable growth and development after economic and social challenges from COVID, climate change and geopolitical rivalries.
