The Hill: US to expand military, economic ties with Indo-Pacific, Blinken says 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday spoke on how the U.S. will be expanding its military and economic presence in the Indo-Pacific region to advance what he called a shared vision of a "free and open Indo-Pacific."

Blinken gave an address in Jakarta, Indonesia, at Universitas Indonesia. 

In his speech, Blinken laid out five goals the U.S. has for its involvement in the region: advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific; establishing stronger relations with neighboring countries like Australia, Japan and South Korea; promoting prosperity; building resilience; and bolstering security. 

As part of advancing these goals, Blinken directly addressed China's "aggressive actions" in claiming open seas as part of its maritime territory.
