Significance
This year's summits, which conclude on November 22, will have particular resonance following soon after the November 13 coordinated massacres in Paris, claimed by Islamic State group (ISG).
Impacts
Despite rising pressure on China, a deal on a South China Sea Code of Conduct remains distant.
A Paris-style 'mass marauder' attack could occur in South-east Asia.
ASEAN states will probably use the Defence Ministers' Meeting to expand anti-ISG intelligence-sharing and defence collaboration.
