NDO/VNA – The US is planning to host an in-person summit between US President Joe Biden and leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries in Washington in January 2022.
ASEAN sources have said that the US has proposed holding the summit in the third week of January and is discussing the date with ASEAN members.
Ahead of the summit, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to visit some of the ASEAN countries, including Indonesia and Thailand, in December.
