Harper arrives in Australia

I wonder if Harper did not speak to reporters or if the reporters had no idea who he was! No doubt Harper and Howard the two H helpmates of the US will get along fine.

SYDNEY -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper arrived in Australia on Thursday for the start of the APEC summit.

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit brings together leaders from 21 Pacific Rim economies. Climate change, energy security and trade issues are among the items on the agenda for discussion. But some of the developing economies have questioned the relevance of discussing climate change at the summit instead of at the United Nations.

Harper, who did not speak to reporters upon his arrival, will deliver a speech to business leaders on Friday, before the meetings with his foreign counterparts this weekend.

He wraps up his trip with a visit to the Australian capital where he will become the first Canadian leader to address the Parliament on Sept. 11.
