President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to hold several bilateral meetings with foreign leaders on the sidelines of the 49th ASEAN Summit and related gatherings. ASEAN spokesperson Dominic Xavier Imperial says Marcos will meet leaders from Australia, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea.

Other reports add that the meetings also include the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, and include US President Donald Trump among the leaders Marcos is expected to see. One outlet notes that additional bilateral talks—such as with India and Laos—are still unconfirmed.

Overall, the coverage focuses on which countries Marcos will meet and ties the schedule to ASEAN-related summits. Across the articles, the common thread is Imperial’s role as the source for the meeting schedule, with differences mainly in which leaders are explicitly listed as confirmed versus still pending.
