APEC or OPEC?
SYDNEY - US President George W Bush has mistaken the name of the
conference he's travelled halfway around the world to attend, in front
of a summit of business leaders in Sydney.
Mr Bush, in Australia to attend the Apec (Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation) summit of world leaders, took to the stage at the Sydney
Opera House this morning and thanked Prime Minister John Howard for his
introduction and for being such a "kind host" for the Opec (Organisation
of Petroleum Exporting Countries) summit.
"I mean Apec summit," he said.
"I've been invited to the Opec summit next year.
"The Apec summit."
The faux pas brought laughter from his audience inside the auditorium.
