US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the ASEAN meeting, focusing on a possible September summit between their leaders. The meeting occurred amidst US President Donald Trump's accusations of Chinese election meddling and escalating diplomatic tensions in the South China Sea. Rubio stressed Washington's commitment to maritime rights, while Wang warned against "external forces" in the region. Continued geopolitical friction between global powers could fuel safe-haven demand, potentially supporting international gold prices and indirectly influencing local rates in Pakistan.
