Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the U.S. strategic outreach to the Asia Pacific region will be a top priority as Washington transitions away from a decade of military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clinton told a gathering of U.S. diplomats in Washington on Tuesday the future of Asia will continue to be vital to U.S. <\/strong>interests, saying a government-wide effort is being made to develop new relationships there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are strengthening our alliances in Asia, launching new strategic dialogues and economic initiatives, creating and joining important multilateral institutions to underscore that America is \u2013 and will remain \u2013 a Pacific power. In the coming century, no region will be more consequential to America’s future.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her wide ranging speech at the Global Chiefs of Mission conference, Clinton outlined her priorities for American diplomatic efforts over the next year.<\/p>\n

She said U.S. diplomats will continue to focus on sustainable development programs around the world, help build a transparent and fair global economic system, and promote democracy in the Middle East and other developing areas.<\/p>\n

Speaking about recent political upheaval in the Middle East, Clinton said the U.S. was uniquely positioned to help countries \u201ccomplete their transitions to democracy.\u201d<\/strong> She said engagement with Islamists is a \u201cnew but necessary\u201d effort, saying the U.S. must adapt to a rapidly changing global environment.<\/p>\n

Clinton also said she was preparing a policy directive to ensure that gender equality is prioritized in U.S. diplomatic efforts, saying women are often the \u201ccanary in the coal mine\u201d when it comes to sustaining healthy democracies.<\/strong><\/p>\n
