India watches from sidelines as APEC kicks off

Leaders are gathering in Gyeongju, South Korea, for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, a grouping which promotes trade, investment, and economic cooperation among the economies of the Asia-Pacific region.

Before its main event begins on Friday, this year's summit was already dominated by a meeting on the sidelines Thursday between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, who agreed to cool trade tensions for the time being.
