Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Nakatakdang magkita sina United States President Barack Obama at Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders' summit sa Vientiane, Laos sa Setyembre 6.

Magkakaroon ng bilateral talks ang dalawang pangulo kung saan inaasahang pag-uusapan nila ang naging mga pahayag ni Duterte tungkol sa iba’t ibang bagay mula nang maupo siya sa pwesto.

"We regularly meet with the leaders of our treaty allies where we have differences whether it relates to human rights practices or derogatory comments. We take the opportunity of those meetings to raise those issues directly," pahayag ni White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes.

Sinabi ito ni Rhodes matapos siyang tanunging kung babanggitin ba ni Obama kay Duterte ang “inflammatory remarks” ng pinuno ng Pilipinas katulad ng tungkol sa kababaihan, mamamahayag at ang pagtawag na bakla kay US ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg.

Dagdag niya na tatalakayin din ang decision ng Permanent Court of Arbitration sa agawan ng teritoryo sa South China Sea.

"I think the discussion will encompass both concerns about statements that have been made by the President of the Philippines and our commitment to supporting human rights and all efforts that are undertaken bilaterally and also, again, discussing the regional picture particularly focus on the maritime issues," wika ni Rhodes.

Bukod kay Duterte makikipagpulong din si Obama sa iba pang pinuno ng mga miyembro ng ASEAN summit.
