The 27-member ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) will provide an arena for big powers to lock heads over a range of issues, and the closed-door roundtable has previously been a fractious affair. Host Indonesia warned that Southeast Asian bloc ASEAN cannot become a proxy, as US-China tensions flare over self-ruled Taiwan, Beijing\u2019s close ties with Moscow, and a tug-of-war for influence in the South Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, China\u2019s top diplomat Wang Yi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will attend the ARF, a body set up to discuss security issues that also includes Japan, South Korea and Australia. \u201cThe Indo-Pacific must not be another battleground,\u201d Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi told ministers as she opened an earlier 18-nation East Asia Summit. \u201cOur region must remain stable, and we intend to keep it that way.\u201d Friday\u2019s meetings would be the first between Blinken and Lavrov since a brief March encounter in India, but no bilateral talks are expected as Russia\u2019s widely condemned invasion of Ukraine grinds on.<\/p>\n<p>Wang and Blinken, however, held their second meeting in as many months on Thursday as Washington and Beijing look to stabilise their relationship. Blinken told Wang that Washington would hold hackers \u201caccountable\u201d after a breach of US government email accounts was blamed on Chinese state-backed actors, a US official said. Wang urged Washington to \u201cwork with China in the same direction\u201d to improve ties and stop interfering in China\u2019s affairs, according to a statement on Friday by the foreign ministry in Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Wang, replacing Foreign Minister Qin Gang who was unwell, also met with Lavrov on Thursday, and the pair pledged to deepen ties in areas of strategic communication and cooperation. In an interview with Indonesian media this week, Lavrov said the war in Ukraine would not end until Western nations gave up their efforts to \u201cdefeat\u201d Russia. Before sitting around the table again Friday, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong raised human rights issues with Wang, and said it was crucial to speak frankly on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>At the ASEAN Regional Forum, a North Korean official would be present but Pyongyang declined to send its foreign minister. North Korea said Thursday that it had successfully tested a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile. Western nations were likely to condemn that launch at the meeting, as well as the Myanmar junta\u2019s alleged attacks against civilians as the coup-wracked country\u2019s crisis continues.<\/p>\n<p>The situation in Myanmar has dominated the week\u2019s ASEAN meetings, from which the junta has been barred. In a joint communique issued Thursday, ASEAN condemned violence in Myanmar and called for the five-point peace plan agreed with the junta two years ago to be implemented. The bloc\u2019s efforts have been fruitless so far, with the junta ignoring international criticism and refusing to engage with its opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/big-power-disputes-in-spotlight-at-southeast-asia-security-meet\/article\">DJ<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/big-power-disputes-in-spotlight-at-southeast-asia-security-meet\/\">Big power disputes in spotlight at Southeast Asia security meet<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[788,2312,521,10727,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-115482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asia","tag-meet","tag-security","tag-southeast","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115482\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
