APEC Malaysia 2020 was the year-long hosting of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings in Malaysia[1][2] from December 2019 until November 2020.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the meetings were held virtually, including the culminating Economic Leaders' Meeting.[4]

This was Malaysia's second time hosting an APEC meeting, having hosted one in 1998.

After the virtual summit held on 20 November 2020, the APEC leaders issued the Kuala Lumpur Declaration.[5]
