Delegates of the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit on Sunday have begun arriving at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.

The various delegations started arriving at 8:20 a.m. and were received by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos at the PICC for the opening ceremony that marks the beginning of the four-day Summit, which will run from November 15 to 18.

After participating in photo opportunities, the delegates rode e-trikes designed to look like traditional jeepneys to go to the PICC Plenary Hall for the opening ceremony.

As the Philippines wraps up its chairmanship of the 49th ASEAN Summit, several key measures are expected to be finalized to address challenges facing member states.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has said these measures aim to address issues including the impacts of the Middle East crisis, food security, and transnational crimes. —RF/KG, GMA News
