Asia-Europe Summit Meeting

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit meeting in Beijing had barely concluded when copies of the outfits worn by the leaders at the event's opening began appearing for sale in China.

北京的亚太经济合作组织峰会还未终结时，领导人在峰会开幕式上所穿的服装的复制品就已经在中国有售了。

Under a sky ablaze with fireworks, more than 600 drummers decked out in brilliant red filled the square between the Water Cube and Bird's Nest stadiums in Beijing last week to welcome leaders to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit meeting.

焰火照亮的夜空之下，600多名身着鲜红服装的鼓手填满了水立方和鸟巢之间的广场。这是上周在北京举行的亚太经合组织（Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation）峰会欢迎各国领导人的仪式。

Xinhua News Agency: This year, China will host two important international conferences, the Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia ( CICA) and the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting.

[新华社和新华网记者]今年中国将主办亚信峰会和APEC领导人非正式会议这两场重要国际会议。

The two sides decided that upcoming meetings such as the G20 Summit, the East Asia Summit, and the U.S.-hosted APEC Leaders' meeting provide further opportunities for high-level engagement.

双方决定，即将举行的20国集团峰会（G20Summit）、东亚峰会（East Asia Summit）和由美国主办的亚太经合组织（APEC）领导人会议为高层接触提供了进一步的机会。

Past summit meetings have fallen short of their goals, and the latest meeting will take place when collegiality among leaders is at a low ebb, strained by conflict in Ukraine, territorial disputes in Asia and war in the Middle East.

以往的G20峰会均未能达成目标，而本届会议召开之际，各国领导人的关系正处于低潮，造成他们关系紧张的因素包括，乌克兰冲突、亚洲领土争议，以及中东的战争。
