Yoon is also planning to attend the Asean Plus Three Summit and the East Asia Summit that will take place in the two days following the Asean Summit on Friday. However, the president specifically chose the Asean Summit to present South Korea’s Indo-Pacific strategy, keeping the importance of the Southeast Asian region in mind, Kim explained.
Yoon will participate in the Asean Plus Three summit on Saturday, and the East Asia Summit on Sunday, before departing for Bali, Indonesia to attend the Group of 20 Summit set for Tuesday, Kim said. Eyes are on whether South Korea’s first Indo-Pacific strategy will include the values pursued by the United States and Japan, with whom South Korea cooperates to conduct trilateral military drills.
The daily said the two governments are coordinating the leaders’ meeting on the sidelines of the Asean Summit, and that they will likely address the FOIP partnership.Seoul’s Foreign Ministry did not confirm Sankei News’ report. But Yoon would likely share the “big picture” and vision of Korea’s Indo-Pacific strategy at the summit, a Foreign Ministry official said.
