Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) member countries decided it was not necessary to have its annual meeting in the US after host Chile had to cancel following street protests in the country.

Dr Mahathir spoke to reporters after launching Apec 2020 in Cyberjaya on Wednesday.
