The Philippine Army's 7th Infantry (Kaugnay) Division is
preparing its troops for deployment to the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperaton (APEC) meetings.
The Philippines
will be hosting this year's APEC meetings, wherein 21 heads of economies from
21 countries are expected to attend.
The following activities in 7ID's area of responsibilities
during APEC 2015 will be the First Senior Official’s Meeting (SOM1) and other
related meetings in Clark, Pampanga and Finance Deputies Meeting (FDM) in Bagac
Bataan.
The event will also be participated in by more than 4,000
international media practitioners and 2,000 private business visitors who have
signified their intention to visit tourist destinations in the country over the
course of the hosting year.
Major General Glorioso Miranda, Phil. Army 7ID commander,
said the 7ID troops will assist and support the Philippine National
Police/local government units in the conduct of security operations, peace and
order, and emergency preparedness to ensure the successful hosting of the APEC
meetings.
"This is part of our security support to thwart any
international and local threat groups that may be undertaken in their nefarious
schemes that would disrupt the activities and endanger the lives of the
delegates to the detriment of national interest," Miranda said.
