Description:
- Washington is keen on financing infrastructure, energy, digital and telecommunication developments in the bloc through the official Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). The Indo Pacific Strategy marks the US government’s bid to enhance cooperation with countries from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in areas such as economic development and security upgrade. “The Asean region is central to our Indo Pacific strategy as it lies in the centre of the Indo Pacific region,” said Eric Jones, chief of staff at OPIC on Friday during a press briefing at the US Embassy in Bangkok.
