The reports do not specify which particular sessions each official will attend, or provide details on the agenda. The information is presented as expected participation by the two top diplomats. The meetings involve ASEAN member states and partners, and the presence of the U.S. and Chinese foreign ministers signals continued high-level engagement with the region’s diplomatic forum.
