Duterte, Obama briefly talk before ASEAN dinner



IENTIANE — President Duterte briefly spoke with US President Barack Obama ahead of the dala dinner for state leaders attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit on Wednesday night.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Charles Jose said the two leaders met at the holding room of the National Convention Center.
“I think they were able to iron out the issue,” Jose told reporters without elaborating.

Before flying here on Monday, Mr. Duterte lashed out at Obama with profanities over the American president’s plan to bring up the issue over the rising drug-related killings in the Philippines since he took office on June 30.
Mr. Duterte’s outburst prompted Washington to cancel the bilateral meeting between the two leaders on Tuesday.  SFM
