The conference was originally supposed to be held in Santiago.

Chilean President Sebastian Pinhera said earlier that the authorities decided to abandon the APEC summit in November and the climate forum in December.

In recent weeks, mass protests have been taking place across the country. Chile declared a state of emergency.
