At the ASEAN Summit today in Phnom Penh, the duo of President Joe Biden and Jake Sullivan, Director of the National Security Council, are making clear in meetings and to media the core intent of promoting the Indo-Pacific bloc, which, without their saying it, is a part of the reach of Global NATO.
Biden gave short remarks at the opening of today’s sessions of ASEAN, stating that, “"This is my third trip, my third summit – second in person – and it’s testament to the importance the United States places in our relationship with ASEAN and our commitment to ASEAN’s centrality. ASEAN is the heart of my administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy. And we continue to strengthen our commitment to work in lockstep with an empowered, unified ASEAN,”
