Sec'y Clinton heads to SE Asia and India
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to travel to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum as well as India later this week, and “on this trip to Asia, Clinton will have to follow up her stylish and successful first trip with more substance,” says Asia Society Bernard Schwartz Fellow Simon Tay.
“Both North Korea and Myanmar require attention and, while no solutions seem apparent, a key will be to keep Asian partners on the same page as the U.S. to build a multilateral coalition for change. Working with China and also Asean as hosts for the Regional Forum will be key."
Simon is in New York. Please contact the Asia Society communications department to arrange an interview or media appearance. [email protected] 212-327-9271.
