Indo-Pacific Strategy has made U.S. and key region more secure, more prosperous: White House

“The execution of Indo-Pacific Strategy has made the United States and the key region more secure and more prosperous and expanded the bilateral partnership with India in unprecedented ways,” Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the National Security Council of the White House, said.

“The execution of Indo-Pacific Strategy has made the United States and the key region more secure and more prosperous and expanded the bilateral partnership with India in unprecedented ways,” the White House said on February 9.

Addressing the media on the second anniversary of the launch of the landmark foreign policy strategy of the Joe Biden administration, Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the National Security Council of the White House, said "the United States has never been in a stronger position in the Indo-Pacific".

"Over the past two years, we have made historic progress in advancing an Indo-Pacific that is free and open, connected, prosperous, secure, and resilient. Thanks to President Biden's leadership, the United States has never been in a stronger position in the Indo-Pacific," she said.

“In the two years since the launch of the Indo-Pacific Strategy, the U.S. has reinvested and revitalised its alliances and partnerships and taken them to new heights,” Ms. Watson said.

"We have deepened and elevated alliances with Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand. We upgraded our bilateral relationships with Vietnam and Indonesia, and our partnership with ASEAN. We have expanded our partnership with India in unprecedented ways. We have surged our efforts in the Pacific, including with two historic summits for Pacific Island leaders at the White House and the establishment of the Partners of the Blue Pacific," she said.

“President Biden hosted the historic U.S.-Japan-South Korea trilateral summit at Camp David to open a new chapter in this important partnership,” she said.

“Under his leadership, the U.S. has elevated the Quad with Australia, India, and Japan to a leader-level summit and has delivered concrete results for the Indo-Pacific region, from vaccines to maritime domain awareness to scholarships for students,” she said.
