SINGAPORE/MANILA: South-East Asian nations hope to strike a joint agreement on cybersecurity in coming days with Russia, accused by the United States of meddling in its elections, after a series of high-profile hacks in the region.

The draft of a document seen by Reuters discusses formalising an agreement with Russia. It is set to be issued by foreign ministers of the 10-member Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) at the close of meetings underway with other global lawmakers in Singapore.
