AFPPIX: Southeast Asian leaders meet with top US, Chinese and Japanese officials at a series of summits in Indonesia on Wednesday, where big power rivalries and regional issues from the South China Sea to North Korean missiles will be on the table.
“We seek common ground while setting aside differences. We both have a relentless pursuit of peace,“ Li said in opening remarks at the Asean-China summit. “At both summits, the vice president will underscore the United States’ enduring commitment to the Indo-Pacific generally and to Asean centrality specifically,“ US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters Tuesday, using another term for the Asia-Pacific region.They will meet with Li at an Asean plus three summit where a row between China and Japan over the release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant could again come to the fore.
A Southeast Asian diplomat present at Wednesday's meetings told AFP they would conclude with joint statements about closer diplomatic, economic and food security collaboration between the powers and Asean.
