The heads of government of all Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation members meet annually in a summit called "APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting" rotating in location among APEC's member economies. However, due to pressure from the People's Republic of China over the political status of Taiwan, the Republic of China (a member economy of APEC under the name Chinese Taipei) can neither send the president of the Republic of China nor the premier of the Republic of China to the summit and must send a ministerial-level official "in charge of economic affairs" as his envoy.

# Leadership in semi-governmental organizations are classified here as "official offices."
# President Chen Shui-bian had appointed former Vice President Li Yuan-zu as his envoy, but the PRC, which was hosting the summit, objected to his choice and the Chinese Taipei delegation decided to boycott.
# President Chen's original choice of Legislative Yuan President Wang Jin-pyng was rejected by the host South Korea (after the PRC objected to the choice). Chen also applied to attend personally but was denied his request.
