Trade is a prominent theme at the summit, with many leaders emphasizing the importance of open and fair trade practices in the face of ongoing trade disputes and supply chain disruptions. Addressing trade issues is seen as crucial for the global economic recovery, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Security concerns are also high on the agenda. Participants are expected to discuss regional security challenges, including ongoing conflicts and the impact of military developments in the Indo-Pacific region.
