Summary

A State Department weekly recap said Secretary Rubio traveled to Malaysia this week for his first trip to Asia as secretary of state to meet ASEAN and East Asian partners about Indo-Pacific priorities.

A State Department media summary said Secretary Rubio is on the road in Malaysia this week for his first trip to Asia as secretary of state to meet with partners from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and other East Asian partners to stress U.S. priorities in the Indo-Pacific.

The recap, read by a staff member, said the secretary is meeting partners "to stress our priorities of a free, open, and secure Indo Pacific." The statement framed the travel as diplomatic outreach rather than announcing new agreements or authorizations.

The summary does not specify a schedule, list participating foreign ministers or delegations, or cite particular outcomes expected from the meetings. It also does not provide dates beyond the phrase "this week."

This description comes from a short State Department weekly briefing summarizing multiple diplomatic engagements; no separate press release or bilateral text was cited in the transcript.
