Will the war on Iran affect ASEAN's efforts to tackle regional issues? | Inside Story
The Philippines is hosting a meeting of Foreign Ministers from Southeast Asia.
They are expected to address regional security issues, including the civil war in Myanmar.
In addition to the territorial dispute in the South China Sea.
But renewed fighting between the US and Iran has overshadowed the gathering.
Ministers have called for hostilities to end.
The conflict has hit Asia hard - disrupting its energy and food supplies, international commerce and raising fears of a global economic slowdown.
Will it also affect ASEAN's efforts to tackle issues within the region?
