Although India is not a member of APEC , Chinese president Xi Jinping , the host of the 2014 APEC summit , invited Modi to attend the event in Beijing as a guest and also showed willingness to support India 's bid to join APEC . India already enjoys such support from other member states such as Russia and Vietnam . However , Modi did not participate in the meeting as a host partner country on the line of Pakistan and Bangladesh on the account of busy diplomatic schedule and a likely state visit to China next year
