MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo Duterte will join his fellow Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) leaders in a commemorative summit with South Korean President Moon Ja-in on November 25 to 27 in Busan, Malaca\u00f1ang announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, tuloy siya (he will be there),\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in an interview with dzIQ, when asked if the President will participate in the Asean-South Korea commemorative summit.<\/p>\n

The commemorative summit will be held in Busan to mark the 30th anniversary of the established relations between the Asean and South Korea.<\/p>\n

Asean and South Korea first established sectoral dialogue relations in November 1989.<\/p>\n

South Korea became a dialogue partner of the Southeast Asian bloc during the 24th Asean ministerial meeting in 1991 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Asean was South Korea\u2019s second largest trading partner with an annual volume of USD160 billion, and the third-largest investment partner with USD6.1 billion.<\/p>\n

Duterte, Moon to hold bilateral meet<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the sidelines of the commemorative summit, Duterte will most likely hold a bilateral meeting with Moon, Panelo said.<\/p>\n

Panelo said the two leaders\u2019 meeting will focus on issues of \u201ccommon concern,\u201d including Manila and Seoul\u2019s cooperation in trade and security sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasta naman may foreign business, palagi namang merong bilateral (There is always a bilateral meeting between two leaders, when there is a foreign business),\u201d the Palace official said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKung anong dapat pag-usapan sa pangangalakal, sa seguridad, lahat ng common concern ng dalawang bansang magmi-meet. \u2018Yun ang palaging pag-uusapan (They will talk about trade, security and other issues of common concern of the two countries. Those are the issues that will be discussed),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The 74-year-old President has just participated in the 35th Asean Summit and Related Summits held in Thailand from November 2 to 4.<\/p>\n

Duterte went to Thailand, despite having muscle spasms triggered by his October 16 minor motorcycle accident at the compound of the Presidential Security Group in Manila.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
