President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday attended the opening ceremony for the virtual 37th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits along with other regional leaders.
This year’s gathering being hosted by Vietnam, which centers on the theme, “Cohesive and Responsive ASEAN,” primarily focuses on the cooperation and connectivity regarding the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic within the bloc.
In a statement released by Malacañang, Duterte is set to exchange views with his counterparts on the region’s Covid-19 response and recovery efforts, future direction of ASEAN community building, and regional and international developments.
“He will advance Philippine positions on public health emergencies cooperation, regional economic integration, migrant workers’ rights, climate change, disaster risk reduction management, counter-terrorism, and the South China Sea issue,” the statement also read.
The virtual summit is expected to adopt more than 10 outcome documents on ASEAN cooperation on Covid-19, enhancing preparedness for public health emergencies, and updates on ASEAN community building efforts, among others.
