US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to face inquiries regarding Washington's commitment to the Indo-Pacific region during his upcoming meeting with Southeast Asian counterparts in Cebu, Philippines, on October 28, 2026. The Pentagon has stated that Hegseth's attendance at the ASEAN summit will reaffirm the United States' dedication to 'peace through strength' in the Pacific, particularly as tensions with China escalate and the ongoing Iran war strains US military readiness. Southeast Asian nations are anticipated to seek clarity on US alliances and partnerships, especially considering the impact of the Iran conflict on military capabilities and regional security. Analysts, including Collin Koh from Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, note that ASEAN members will likely focus on understanding how the US military's engagement in Iran aligns with its commitments to the Indo-Pacific. The Philippines, serving as ASEAN chair, faces particular challenges in balancing its relationship with the US while managing tensions with China, particularly concerning the South China Sea disputes and energy security. The Iran war, initiated by US and Israeli strikes on February 28, has disrupted shipping and oil markets, heightening Southeast Asia's vulnerability to energy shocks and elevating energy security as a key agenda item for ASEAN. The Philippine military recently reported monitoring China's Liaoning aircraft carrier group as it traversed waters near the southern Philippines toward the Celebes Sea, underscoring the delicate security environment. While the ASEAN chairmanship has been challenging for the Philippines amid its disputes with China, the summit offers an opportunity for tactical cooperation on maritime security and counter-terrorism through the ADMM workstreams, though strategic alignment on contentious issues like the South China Sea code of conduct remains unlikely. Hegseth's meeting will also coincide with a gathering of defense chiefs from the US, Japan, Australia, and the Philippines, known as the 'Squad,' further highlighting the importance of regional security partnerships. The eventual chairman's statement from the summit is expected to be more restrained than the behind-the-scenes discussions, employing standard ASEAN diplomatic language to maintain consensus among member states.
