By WYATT OLSON | STARS AND STRIPES Published: March 10, 2021 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin begins his first overseas trip Saturday with visits to key allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific, with meetings planned with counterparts in Japan, South Korea and India, the Pentagon said Wednesday. The choice of Asia for Austin’s inaugural trip underscores the growing importance of the region in both the Pentagon’s strategic planning and America’s economic interdependence with the Pacific. “I’ll meet with my counterparts and other officials to discuss the importance of our alliances and partnerships, and together we ll reinforce the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region,” Austin said in a tweet Wednesday.
