South Korea s Yoon to push for stronger response to North Korea at ASEAN

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will push for a stronger response to North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes at summit talks this week, arguing that the weapons pose an existential threat to the region, he told media. Yoon will leave on Tuesday for an Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Indonesia and later in the week he will travel to India for a meeting of G20 leaders. "The Republic of Korea and ASEAN must join forces to respond decisively and cooperate closely on North Korea’s denuclearisation," Yoon told Indonesia's Kompas newspaper in an interview published on Tuesday.

ASEAN leaders seek to assert bloc s relevance at annual summit

Southeast Asian leaders will on Tuesday converge on the Indonesian capital for an annual summit amid rifts within the 10-member regional bloc over stalled peace efforts in Myanmar and a sharpening U.S.-China rivalry in the region. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is seeking to clarify its relevance as cracks emerge in its response to the conflict in Myanmar, where the military seized power in a bloody coup in 2021. "The eyes of our peoples are on us to prove ASEAN still matters and can contribute towards peace, stability and prosperity in the region," Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi of chair Indonesia said on Monday.
