Spokesperson Dominic Xavier Imperial announced the attendance of both global powers during a briefing, emphasizing the strategic weight of the summit. The presence of the two top diplomats transforms the regional cooperation meeting into a focal point for navigating the intensifying friction between Washington and Beijing.

The sessions in the Philippine capital are designed to address pressing international issues and foster collaborative solutions. By convening in Manila, these officials aim to utilize the ASEAN platform as a venue for dialogue, testing whether the bloc can effectively manage the competing interests of its two most influential international partners.
