In the APEC summits, it is a tradition for the meeting world leaders to pose for a group photograph, wearing the traditional attire of the host country [of the summit]; like in the 2008 summit in Lima, where the leaders posed for the camera in the traditional ponchos.
At this year's summit, held in Beijing few days ago, the head of states wore the attire as shown in the picture. Traditionally called the Zhongshan Suit, how is it more commonly known?
