STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSJAKARTA - World leaders were on Thursday set for a series of meetings on security and trade against a backdrop of simmering tensions and open conflicts in parts of the world, as an ASEAN-hosted summit in Indonesia entered its final day.
An undercurrent of tension has accompanied the talks on issues from trade and technology to China's increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea, the Myanmar junta's refusal to cooperate with ASEAN on a peace plan, and suspicion North Korea plans to supply weapons to Russia. Harris, attending the meetings instead of President Joe Biden, reiterated a U.S. commitment to the region.
A White House official said earlier the U.S. shared interests with ASEAN in"upholding the rules-based international order, including in the South China Sea, in the face of China's unlawful maritime claims and provocative actions".
