00:00.266 --> 00:02.841
- Together, ASEAN and all our nations

00:02.841 --> 00:05.892
can develop the cooperation we'll need

00:05.892 --> 00:09.142
to ensure security for decades to come,

00:10.119 --> 00:11.878
even as we work together

00:11.878 --> 00:14.471
to address today's immediate challenges,

00:14.471 --> 00:18.471
like maritime security and countering extremism.

00:19.684 --> 00:23.107
On maritime security, open sea lanes are critical

00:23.107 --> 00:26.627
to sustaining the region's dynamic economy.

00:26.627 --> 00:29.603
The United States would like to help all our nations

00:29.603 --> 00:32.353
see more, share more, and do more

00:33.651 --> 00:36.630
to help keep Southeast Asia's vital waterways

00:36.630 --> 00:37.963
open and secure.

00:39.143 --> 00:40.867
On counter-terrorism,

00:40.867 --> 00:44.291
the United States is focused on accelerating

00:44.291 --> 00:47.541
the lasting and certain defeat of ISIL,

00:49.059 --> 00:52.226
in its parent tumor in Iraq and Syria,

00:53.221 --> 00:56.787
and everywhere it might metastasize around the world,

00:56.787 --> 00:58.691
including Southeast Asia,

00:58.691 --> 01:00.941
and in our homeland itself.
