00:44 stake in the future of the region.

00:54 investing in a long-term vision.
00:57 We must look 10, 20, 30 years out and measure our current steps against that vision.
01:06 The United States and the nations of Southeast Asia share many long-term interests and priorities
01:13 as well as a long-term vision.
