WASHINGTON - Eight Asean leaders will gather in Las Vegas on March 14 for a US-Asean summit characterised by some analysts as an olive branch from the United States after President Donald Trump skipped the meetings two years in a row.
For the Thailand meetings, President Trump was represented by National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, a move which also raised eyebrows as he was not even a Cabinet member. It is yet unknown whether Myanmar would be represented by President Win Myint or State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.The US has come up with a theme for the Las Vegas summit -"Human Capital Development".
