Southeast Asian heads of government were due to hold talks on Saturday with a number of visiting global leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, as the region tries to navigate the growing rivalry between China and Western powers.
Cambodia is hosting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations annual summit and a parallel East Asian Summit, with the regional bloc engaging with a host of leaders.
Some analysts played down expectations of any dramatic developments from Biden’s presence at the ASEAN meetings, but noted it provided more evidence of how the United States was getting back to "normal diplomacy". One outcome of the trip would be the elevation of the U.S.-ASEAN partnership to a comprehensive strategic partnership, he noted.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will also attend some meetings, while Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is also in Cambodia aftera Treaty of Amity and Cooperation with ASEAN, as Kyiv seeks to strengthen ties with the bloc.
