Global oil crisis forces scaled-down ASEAN summit in the Philippines

Описание: The Philippines hosts a pared-back ASEAN summit, with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as chair, calling it essential but stripped of spectacle; over 600 meetings moved online amid a global oil crisis and regional fuel shortages.

Members stress unity but diverge on maritime security, with Singapore avoiding talks with Iran over Hormuz while the Philippines engages, highlighting the differing approaches to regional security challenges and the complexities of international relations in the context of ongoing tensions in the area.

Al Jazeera’s Jamela Alindogan reports from Cebu, Philippines.
