东盟外长会议11月14日在 Manila 开场：能源成本、地区冲突与厄尔尼诺考验东盟团结
东南亚各国外长11月14日在菲律宾首都 Manila 开始举行会议，东盟寻求就能源成本飙升、安全紧张局势和即将到来的厄尔尼诺现象作出协调回应；菲律宾总统马科斯表示，这些挑战需要集体行动。
这些会议开启一个外交周末，高潮是11月15日至17日的东盟峰会。届时东盟领导人将与美国等主要国家的领导人会谈，讨论从中东冲突的经济影响、缅甸、南海到跨境污染等广泛议题。
会议召开之际，菲律宾和其他依赖进口的东南亚经济体正应对更高的燃料成本，成本挤压了家庭和企业，并加剧了通胀压力。
缅甸问题也将考验东盟维持共同立场的能力。菲律宾外交部发言人 Dominic Xavier Imperial 周五在记者会上说，领导人预计将审查五点共识的执行情况，五点共识是东盟应对缅甸危机的主框架。
南海问题将出现在与相关国家的讨论中。Imperial 说，拖延已久的行为准则谈判已完成约70%。
峰会期间还计划有抗议活动，活动人士要求东盟维持对缅甸军方领导人的排除。缅甸自2021年政变以来陷入动荡，联合国估计冲突已造成约10万人死亡、逾350万人流离失所。

ASEAN Foreign Ministers Open Manila Meetings as Energy Crisis and Regional Conflicts Test Unity
Southeast Asian foreign ministers began meetings in Manila on Saturday, November 14, as the regional bloc sought a coordinated response to surging energy costs, security tensions and an approaching El Niño, challenges Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has said demand collective action.
The meetings open a weekend of diplomacy culminating in the November 15 to 17 ASEAN summit, where ASEAN leaders will hold talks with counterparts from major powers including the United States and Japan, and discuss wide-ranging issues from the economic fallout from the Middle East conflict, Myanmar and the South China Sea to transboundary pollution.
The gathering comes as the Philippines and other import-dependent Southeast Asian economies grapple with higher fuel costs, which have squeezed households and businesses and added to inflation pressures.
Myanmar will also test ASEAN's ability to maintain a common position on the crisis that has engulfed the country since the military seized power in 2021. Leaders are expected to review the implementation of the bloc's Five-Point Consensus, its main framework for addressing the crisis, Philippine foreign ministry spokesperson Dominic Xavier Imperial said at a press conference on Friday.
The South China Sea will feature in discussions, with negotiations on a long-delayed Code of Conduct about 70 percent complete, Imperial said.
Myanmar will also feature in protests planned during the summit, with activists demanding that ASEAN maintain its exclusion of Myanmar's military leadership from leaders' meetings. Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military ousted the elected government in a 2021 coup, triggering a civil war that the United Nations estimates has killed 100,000 people and displaced more than 3.5 million.
