The White House stated that the execution of the Indo-Pacific Strategy has enhanced the United States’ position in the region over the past two years. Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, emphasized the historic progress made in advancing a free, open, connected, prosperous, secure, and resilient Indo-Pacific. The U.S. has deepened alliances with Japan, South Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand, while also upgrading relationships with Vietnam and Indonesia. The partnership with India has expanded significantly, with efforts to strengthen ties with Pacific Island leaders and enhance cooperation with the Quad (Australia, India, Japan). The Indo-Pacific Strategy has strengthened the U.S. position amidst strategic competition with China.
