US President Barack Obama will attend a gathering of Asia-Pacific leaders in Singapore later this year for discussions on reviving the global economy, the White House said Thursday. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting is to take place November 14-15. Spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama will likely visit other countries in the region but no stops have been finalized. "President Obama looks forward to working with APEC leaders to promote open trade and investment, support economic recovery and sustainable development, and address key challenges facing the region and the world," Gibbs said.
