Secretary Clinton traveled to the Cook Islands, Indonesia, China, Timor-Leste, Brunei, and Russia departing Washington, DC on August 30.
In the Cook Islands, Secretary Clinton attended the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Post Forum Dialogue on August 31 as part of our intensive engagement and ongoing collaboration with the Pacific Islands. Her visit emphasized the depth and breadth of American engagement across economic, people to people, strategic, environmental, and security interests. The visit also represents a concerted effort to strengthen regional multilateral institutions, develop bilateral partnerships, and build on alliances – three core elements of U.S. strategy toward the Asia-Pacific. She led the highest-level U.S. interagency delegation in the 41-year history of the Forum with senior officials from the Departments of State, Defense, and Interior.

Discussions covered a wide range of issues of importance in the U.S.-China relationship as part of our efforts to build a cooperative partnership, including preparations for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and other upcoming multilateral meetings and numerous bilateral, regional, and global issues.
On September 6, Secretary Clinton was the first Secretary of State to travel to Dili, where she emphasized U.S. support for the young democracy of Timor-Leste in her meetings with senior officials.
In Brunei, Secretary Clinton met with senior officials to emphasize the importance of the increasingly vibrant U.S.-Brunei relationship. She also highlighted the Brunei-U.S. ASEAN English Language initiative and discuss Brunei’s 2013 chairmanship of ASEAN.
