Marked by a number of rising powers like India and China, the Asia Pacific region is of vital importance to the US, the Obama Administration has said.
President Barack Obama's visit to Guam, Indonesia and Australia next week is "designed to highlight the importance of the Asia-Pacific region to the US," Jaff Bader, National Security Council's Senior Director for Asian Affairs, told reporters here.
"This (Asia-Pacific) is a part of the world that's marked by a number of rising powers, namely China and India; a number of existing powers, Japan and South Korea; and some emerging important countries and powers like Vietnam and Indonesia."
Obama's trip highlights the changing global governance faced by the world in the 21st century, Bader said.
"When we were in Copenhagen (for climate talks in December last year), we saw the decisive meeting at the end of the conference. The players in the room were China, India, South Africa, Brazil and the United States. This is something that wouldn't have happened ... 20 years ago.
