Donald Trump has donned traditional Philippine formal attire to meet with President Rodrigo Duterte at a glitzy event in Manila.

The US President was greeted by Duterte as he arrived with other leaders to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on Sunday.

Trump arrived in Manila earlier on Sunday to attend two international summits and close his five-country tour of Asia.

Trump and Duterte shook hands twice and exchanged pleasantries at the glitzy event before fellow world leaders posed for a group photo and everyone filed into dinner.

Trump joined others in wearing Philippine formal attire - the Barong Tagalog, or long-sleeved white shirt.

Duterte sat to Trump's left at dinner and they engaged in conversation before the first course was served. At one point they were pictured toasting with champagne. 

Trump and Duterte are set to hold more formal talks on Monday. He was originally scheduled to depart Manila on Monday but he added a day to the visit so he could more fully participate in one of the summits.

He arrived in Manila on Sunday after a brief stop in Vietnam. Trump also visited Japan, South Korea and China.  

Duterte - sometimes described 'Trump of the East' because of his brash and mercurial style - had said on Wednesday that he would tell the US President to 'lay off' if he raised the issue of human rights when they met.

More than 3,900 Filipinos have been killed in what the police call self-defense in Duterte's war on drugs. 

Critics say executions are taking place with zero accountability, allegations the police reject.

But Trump, who has been criticized at home for neglecting rights issues in dealings abroad, in May praised Duterte for doing an 'unbelievable job on the drug problem'.
