A jam-packed schedule for the Prime Minister's final day in Laos.

After a day of introductions and talks with foreign counterparts, Chris Luxon is now attending the East Asia summit.

Senior Political Reporter Sophie Trigger told Francesca Rudkin this is a significant forum - that's brought together world superpowers - including the US and Russia.

She says Luxon's saying regional security's high on the agenda — and highly connected to New Zealand's trade relationships.

Luxon's last meet and greet before heading home later tonight is with the Phillippines' Prime Minister.
