V-P Harris assures Indo-Pacific of US' commitment to region

"The United States has an enduring economic commitment to the Indo-Pacific, one that is measured not in years, but in decades, and generations," she told business and regional leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) CEO Summit held on the sidelines of the economic forum in Bangkok.

She also said that Washington's approach to regional relations is based on collaboration, sustainability, transparency and fairness.

"Through all of our efforts, we will continue to uphold and strengthen international economic rules and norms that protect a free market and create predictability and stability... In addition, we stand against market distortions and unfair competitive advantages," she added.
