The U.S.-ASEAN Special Summit will help us counter China’s attempts to dominate the region, and it will also be an important step in laying out a comprehensive strategy for the whole region.
ASEAN countries are critical partners in advancing shared economic growth and safeguarding regional security, and the U.S. must recognize our long-term strategic interests in Southeast Asia.
#FY22NDAA has my Promotion Accessibility Act — legislation I introduced w @repdinatitus, to support diplomats with disabilities.
Also in it is the Southeast Asia Strategy Act, which strengthens US policy in the region. I worked on this w @ASEANCaucus co-chair @RepAnnWagner.
Important leadership by @POTUS.
@ASEAN is central to U.S. strategy in the region and a key partner on COVID-19, climate change, supply chain infrastructure, and more.
@ASEANCaucus in Congress stands ready to advance these efforts.
The Junta in Myanmar killed more than 1,000 civilians and continue to imprison many political prisoners.
As a co-chair of the @ASEANCaucus, I applaud this step @ASEAN has taken to send a strong message opposing the coup by excluding the Junta from this summit.
