[Washington, 11th Archyde.com]-US President Joe Biden will continue to work with the Indo-Pacific region and China during the Ukrainian crisis at a summit meeting with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Washington on the 12th to 13th. It is expected to show that it is focusing on specific issues.
This is the first time that the leaders of ASEAN member countries have met the White House as ASEAN. From the ASEAN side, leaders of up to eight countries will participate, except for Myanmar, where the coup d’etat took place last year, and the Philippines immediately following the presidential election.
Kurt Campbell, Indo-Pacific Coordinator of the United States, said on the 11th that he should not look away from the Indo-Pacific, and at the summit meeting, he sought to expand US investment and involvement in ASEAN countries. Then pointed out. “It is important for other countries to emphasize both publicly and privately that what happened in Ukraine should never happen in Asia,” he said, including China, Myanmar, Taiwan and Ukraine.
He said he hopes that ASEAN leaders will be “deeper involved” in regaining democracy in Myanmar, where the coup d’etat occurred.
