News in photo: Yasay takes Duterte’s place in APEC family photo

(L to R) Philippine Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay, China’s President Xi Jinping and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin take part in the traditional “family photo” on the final day of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit at the Lima Convention Centre in Lima on November 20, 2016.   It was not immediately known why President Duterte skipped the picture-taking on Sunday.
Asia-Pacific leaders were expected to send a strong message in defense of free trade on November 20 as they wrap up a summit that has been overshadowed by US President-elect Donald Trump’s protectionism.
