Antony Blinken
US secretary of state
We’re deepening cooperation and coordination between NATO and our Indo-Pacific allies. These efforts have allowed us to engage more effectively when tackling areas of concern, like China’s coercive trade and economic practices, peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the East and South China Seas, and human rights.
In his speech, Blinken said that Washington could continue to engage with China while strengthening its ties with partners in the Indo-Pacific region. He pointed to the U.S.-Japan-South Korea trilateral summit, which has brought the three nations into a new mode of cooperation. He also said that the U.S.’ relations with the Philippines and India were only warming up. Blinken also said that the Group of Seven and the European Union would continue to counter challenges from Beijing. He added that the relevant authorities would continue in close communication with Beijing to reduce the risk of miscalculations.
