Leaders from the Pacific Rim are preparing for their annual APEC economic summit in Lima on the 21st-23rd November.

The need for action to deal with the global financial crisis will be paramount at the meeting where US President George Bush will make his final overseas summit.

Bush administration aides say he will use the summit to draw attention to efforts to stimulate the world economy, especially through free trade.

He will also seek to build support in APEC for measures endorsed last weekend by the leaders of the world's 20 largest economies to prevent a deep global recession.

The meeting will be held at the government palace in Lima.
