Terrorism, economy set to dominate ASEAN summit
The global economic slowdown and US-led campaign against terrorism are set to dominate next week's Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Brunei.
A statement issued by Brunei's foreign ministry says in dealing with these concerns, the ASEAN leaders are expected to discuss a wide range of topics such as responding to longer term challenges, accelerating regional integration and bridging the development gap.
The seventh ASEAN summit will be the first meeting of all the Southeast Asian leaders since the September terror attacks in the United States.
Leaders from the 10-member regional grouping are also expected to hold talks with their counterparts from China, Japan and South Korea as part of the enlarged ASEAN Plus Three summits that began in 1997.
