U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken hopes to persuade members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to fully implement North Korea sanctions, the State Department said on Monday.

Blinken will join five virtual ministerial meetings related to ASEAN this week and will discuss North Korea and other issues with the 10-member states, a department spokesperson said during a press briefing.

The U.S. Secretary of State will underscore “the U.S. commitment to our strategic partnership with ASEAN” and “[urge] ASEAN members to fully implement U.N. Security Council Resolutions on the DPRK along with other pressing regional issues, according
