We need help with another headline (6 photos)

Okay, we suspect that our world leaders are communicating again in sign language and we need SooToday.com readers to help decipher what they're saying.

This picture was taken today at the just-concluded APEC Summit in Singapore.

So many readers responded to our request yesterday for captions for our picture of Prime Minister Harper gesticulating with his Australian counterpart Kevin Rudd that we just know you'll be able to break the code on what Harper is subtly communicating to U.S. President Obama.

We invite our readers to help out, posting appropriate captions for this image on the News Response forum on our Editorials page.

Meanwhile, here's the official announcement from Prime Minister Harper's office, followed by some additional images taken in Singapore by Jason Ransom, his official photographer.

************************** Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement at the close of the 2009 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders Summit:

“While Canada’s economy was built through trans-Atlantic trade, our future prosperity will increasingly depend on our ties to the Pacific. 

The region is home to some of the world’s most dynamic and fastest growing economies.

Our discussions underscored the importance of continued cooperation on Canada’s number one priority - responding to the global economic downturn.

Since last year’s Summit, we have focused on resisting protectionism, reforming the global financial system and stimulating our economies, which have helped set the stage for recovery.

Leaders also met and agreed on the need to keep focussed on the problem of climate change. 

Although we do not expect to get a legally binding agreement, progress can still be made at Copenhagen.

I met with several fellow leaders, including Prime Ministers Key of New Zealand, Hatoyama of Japan, Rudd of Australia and Presidents Obama of the United States and Triet of Vietnam. 

I also look forward to meeting with Russian President Medvedev later this afternoon. 

I intend to raise a number of issues we share in common, including global security, the Arctic and, of course, the economy. 

Looking forward, we will work closely with South Korea to deliver successful G20 Summits in 2010 that follow up on commitments made in Pittsburgh, London and Washington.
