 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Police tightened security Sunday as senior officials from Pacific Rim nations began meetings to prepare for a summit of regional leaders that will tackle trade and global warming.
The annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum — with its focus on trade and a membership that includes powerhouses China, Japan and the United States — is a magnet for anti-globalization and environmental protesters.
President Bush, who arrives Tuesday, and anger at the Iraq war are also drawing protesters.
