Immediately after being invited to ask a question during the talk, Tran My Linh quickly raised her hand and was the first to ask a question. My Linh's question was highly appreciated by Deputy Secretary Blinken and many students in attendance.

"Hello Sir. My name is Linh, currently a third-year student, Department of Linguistics. Thank you for your speech and I wonder if you would allow me to ask a question. Will the United States continue to maintain its engagement policy with the Asia-Pacific region? Thank you,"Tran My Linh asked a question.

 

My Linh's question received applause from many students in the hall and received thanks from Deputy Secretary Antony Blinken himself.

Deputy Secretary of State Blinken shared: “We will not only continue to maintain our engagement in the Asia-Pacific region, but we will also enhance and promote our engagement even more.

This is one of the top priorities of President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry. We call it the rebalance. What that means is that we are focusing more and more time, more and more resources, more and more engagement right here in the Asia-Pacific region, and there are a number of reasons for doing that.

First, the United States is an Asia-Pacific nation, and that legacy, that history, is not just a part of our past, it is fundamentally a part of our future. And that is because when we look around the Asia-Pacific region, we see some of the fastest-growing economies in the world. We see some of the youngest nations on the planet. We see some of the most innovative, connected, and dynamic people anywhere on earth, and that is the future that we want to be a part of because it is good for the United States.

So we are working hard to strengthen our engagement and relationships across the Asia-Pacific region. We are working to strengthen our partnerships with individual countries. Some of our traditional partners and allies are Japan, South Korea, the Philippines. But there are also emerging countries, new partners, first of all Vietnam.

We have worked to strengthen the institutions that already exist in the Asia-Pacific region and need to consider new ones, because institutions like ASEAN, APEC, the East Asia Summit and the Leaders' Forum provide opportunities for countries to come together, to discuss, to debate and to act together.

We have expanded our military presence in the region because we believe it is a factor in ensuring stability and helping to create an environment in which nations can grow and develop in peace.

As I said, we have worked hard to deepen our relationship and cooperation with China, because it is an important country for the future. As I said a few minutes ago, we have been successful in expanding and deepening that cooperation in important areas like climate change, responding to the Ebola virus, dealing with Iran's nuclear program, and even directly addressing our differences.

And we have worked to create new relationships, particularly in trade and business, that will connect us long into the future with this region, and that is where the Trans-Pacific Partnership will come into play.

When you look at all of these factors, what you see is a strong architecture of connections and networks between the United States and the entire region. So we will not only maintain but strengthen that engagement, and it will be a critical part of our shared future. Thank you."
