WASHINGTON – The United States called on Asean claimants to the South China Sea to resolve their differences with each other, so they could strengthen their “collective voice” in negotiations with China, said Washington’s top diplomat for East Asia on Wednesday.
“Moving forward, we want to support South-east Asian claimants with both our words and our actions,” added Mr Kritenbrink. Washington opposes this, he said, adding: “The US supports nations in standing up for their interests and resisting pressure to accept any deal whereby they would be compelled to yield those rights to any other country.”
“We’re not in the business of forcing countries to choose... ensuring countries have choice and the ability to make their own decisions free from coercion,” he said. The US’ focus across the region was to build the capacity of “allies, partners and friends” that shared the vision of a peaceful and stable world, said Mr Kritenbrink.At the forum, Mr Kritenbrink, who accompanied US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on his trip to China earlier in June, also addressed the state of US-China ties.
“I would like to think we will get those channels back open at some point, we’re not there yet; but it really is vitally important,” he said.
