The United States’ engagement in the ASEAN Regional Forum demonstrates U.S. support for a free and open IndoPacific across all security domains, including maritime security, nonproliferation and disarmament, and information and communications technology. Glad to be a part of the ARF Senior Officials’ Meeting in Manila. -MGD

This pathetic hit piece against @FBIDirectorKash Patel is why no one trusts the Failing New York Times anymore. At the invitation of Admiral Paparo, Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Director Patel led a senior delegation to INDOPACOM to advance joint operations against our adversaries. As part of this engagement, the delegation participated in a similar tour of the USS Arizona. As is standard practice on these visits, their hosts arranged the same Pearl Harbor tour that has been offered for years to senior administration officials across multiple administrations. This is not a new or a one-off event. The Fake News media is simply trying to smear Director Patel’s name any way they can.

Welcoming Vice Admiral Joseph Buzzella on his first visit to Japan as Commander of U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area. Chargé d’Affaires Aaron Snipe and Vice Admiral Buzzella discussed strengthening 🇺🇸🇯🇵 maritime security cooperation and advancing coordination with the Philippines and South Korea, while deepening regional collaboration to support a secure and stable Indo‑Pacific. @USCG @JCG_koho @JCG_koho_en
