Vice-President Kamala Harris has moved to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to allies in the Indo-Pacific after the fall of Kabul, saying events in south-east Asia “will largely dictate the future of the world”.
Harris, however, said in Singapore on Monday the Biden administration’s exit from Afghanistan was no reflection of the role it intended to play in the contested Indo-Pacific. Harris is welcomed by Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Istana, the presidential palace, on Monday.“As we move forward and think about where we go in the 21st century, south-east Asia and the Indo-Pacific will, in large part I believe, dictate the future of our world.”
After meeting with Harris, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he hoped Afghanistan did not become an epicentre for terrorists again and that the US would remain a “benign and constructive influence” in the region.
