SINGAPORE: The United States will stand with its allies and partners, as China continues to"coerce" and"intimidate" as part of its claims to the South China Sea, US Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday .

Vietnam, which has been a vocal opponent of China's territorial claims in the South China Sea, has emerged as a key partner of the US."Our engagement in Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific is not against any one country, nor is it designed to make anyone choose between countries," she said. "The United States remains deeply alarmed by the military coup in Burma. We condemn the campaign of violent repression, and we are committed to supporting the people there as they work to return their nation to the path of democracy."Ms Harris urged nations throughout the Indo-Pacific to join the US in this effort, saying that she hopes the region will look back at this moment years from now and realise they joined together to"improve the lives of all people".

"Collectively, the nations of Southeast Asia, represent our nation's fourth-largest export market. A vibrant and dynamic market, which will soon rank among the biggest markets in the world," she said.Ms Harris said much of the history of the 21st century will be written in the Indo-Pacific, and that the US will pursue a"free and open" Indo-Pacific that promotes US interests as well as those of its partners and allies.

She said the US will also work multilaterally through long-standing institutions like the Association of Southeast Nations ,"which remains central to this region's architecture". "Collectively, the nations of Southeast Asia represent our nation's fourth-largest export market - a vibrant and dynamic market which will soon rank among the biggest markets in the world," she said, noting that trade relationships in Southeast Asia support more than 600,000 American jobs.
