U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will aim with a trip to the Pacific this week to remind the world that Washington's strategic long-term focus remains with the Asia-Pacific region despite an escalating crisis with Russia over Ukraine.
It marked the most detailed and assertive statement by China and Russia to work together - and against the United States - to build a new international order based on their own interpretations of human rights and democracy.
"His trip underscores just how important - and how challenging - it is for Washington to maintain focus on the Indo-Pacific," Edel said.

Chinese ambitions in the region also will likely come up.
The United States has said the AUKUS pact and expanding Quad cooperation show its Indo-Pacific commitment.
