Traditional destinations which are symbolic in Quang Nam province’s Hoi An city, including the Pagoda Bridge and silk villages, will welcome the spouses of APEC member economies’ leaders.
As planned, on November 11th, spouses of economic delegations’ heads, ministers and heads of representative agencies from APEC member economies will arrive at the Hoai river square for visiting the heritage city.
