Bangkok—US Vice President Kamala Harris told Asian leaders on Friday that the United States is committed to the region for the long haul, rejecting doubts about its engagement as China expands its clout. READ:
Addressing a summit in Bangkok, Harris called the United States a “proud Pacific power” and said that the longstanding US network of security alliances has allowed Asia to prosper.
Biden has largely followed his predecessor Donald Trump in turning thepage on the era of free-trade agreements, seeing them as unpopular among working-class US voters. Biden on a trip to Tokyo earlier this year launched the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, which brings together countries to set common standards on technology and trade in the face of China’s rapid advances but stops short of lifting tariffs like a traditional free-trade deal.
The launch by North Korea of an intercontinental ballistic missile-class projectile, which likely fell within Japan’s exclusive economic zone earlier Friday, is expected to draw attention at the two-day summit of the 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Western countries condemn Russia, but some member economies, such as China, have opted not to sanction Moscow.
Despite differences over the Ukraine crisis among the member economies, including Japan, the United States and Russia, the leaders plan to adopt “Bangkok Goals” for the Bio-Circular-Green Economy concept.
