“We were proud to represent the House of Representatives on a bipartisan congressional delegation to the 21st IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. In meetings with our allies and partners, we reinforced our shared interest in maintaining peace and security in the Taiwan Strait as well as the East and South China Sea. We also discussed ways to enhance our trade and technology partnerships, as well as provide economic alternatives to counter China’s malign influence in the region. The United States, alongside its allies and partners, will continue pursuing peace through strength to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific.”
