STORYLINE
Tensions with North Korea are expected to overshadow Asia's largest security forum this week in Vietnam - four months after 46 South Korean sailors were killed in the sinking of a warship that was blamed on Pyongyang.
The reclusive North, which has denied attacking the 1,200-ton Cheonan, will send its top diplomat to the annual security meeting organised by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and her South Korean counterpart are also expected to attend, marking the first time the three have met since the ship incident.
Foreign ministers from ASEAN's 10 member countries began arriving Monday in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, where security has been tightened for their annual gathering.
They will be joined later in the week by officials from the Asia-Pacific, Europe and the United States for the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF).
The ministers' agenda is heavy with issues surrounding the bloc's goal of establishing a European-style economic community by 2015, and the lingering hardship created by the global financial crisis.
But North Korea and military-ruled Myanmar are expected to dominate discussions.
In separate draft statements obtained by The Associated Press, ASEAN and ARF ministers strongly condemned the March 26 sinking of the Cheonan but did not put the blame on Pyongyang.
"We expressed deep concern over the sinking of the ship Cheonan and the rising tension on the Korean peninsula," the statement said.
"We urge all parties concerned to exercise utmost restraint, enhance confidence and trust, settle disputes by peaceful means."
They will seek the resumption of stalled six-way talks aimed at ending the North's nuclear weapons programme.
The last nuclear disarmament talks involving the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States were held in Beijing in December 2008.
Pyongyang denies any responsibility, and has warned any punishment would trigger war.
Her party has since been disbanded.
