US EditionASEAN Seeks Stronger Ties with China, Gulf States Amid Trump Tariff Threat
- On Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, leaders from Southeast Asia convened with China's Premier Li Qiang and representatives from Gulf Cooperation Council countries for the first-ever ASEAN-China-GCC summit.

- In written remarks, Anwar Ibrahim highlighted the summit as indicative of a shifting geopolitical landscape and the effective reconfiguration of partnerships that align with the current multipolar world order.
- The talks suggest ASEAN, led by Malaysia, seeks closer ties with China and Gulf states to reduce reliance on unpredictable US economic relations amid ongoing South China Sea tensions.
