  "account": "Manila – The Southeast Asian nations have inaugurated a crucial regional summit on Sunday, grappling with pressing concerns such as trade dynamics, regional security, and a persistent energy crisis. The gathering also serves as a platform for global luminaries, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who is slated to arrive on Tuesday, just as the summit nears its end. Trump's visit is anticipated to feature a side meeting with India, Japan, and Australia, collectively known as the Quad nations, marking the inaugural such encounter during his second term. The Quad gathering, primarily designed to counterbalance China's growing regional sway, will precede a landmark conclave with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Shenzhen.
