Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with other East Asia Summit (EAS) participants, are attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) foreign ministers' meeting in Indonesia's capital Jakarta, both wearing traditional Indonesian shirts, a Sputnik correspondent reported Friday.

The organizers chose batik shirts made of hand-dyed fabric with elaborate patterns because Indonesia is the chair of ASEAN and the EAS this year.

According to the correspondent, Lavrov and Blinken are sitting virtually close to each other in the meeting area, to the right and left of the Philippine delegate.

ASEAN is a grouping of ten Southeast Asian countries, including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, to promote political and economic cooperation among its members.

The EAS is a venue for interaction among Asia-Pacific leaders on a wide range of strategic, political, and economic concerns. The next East Asia Summit will be held in September in Jakarta. This kind of meeting is held annually in connection with high-level ASEAN activities. Since 2011, Russian and US presidents have also been invited to the forum.
