In Jakarta, following the recent elevation of U.S.-Indonesia relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, she will meet with senior officials to discuss enhancing people-to-people ties, expanding educational exchanges, and fostering increased student mobility.
In Tokyo, the Under Secretary’s agenda includes bilateral discussions with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, focused on countering foreign malign influence. She will meet with prominent Japanese leaders to underscore U.S. participation in and support for Expo Osaka 2025 and host a leadership discussion with influential women in government, journalism, and business, highlighting their pivotal roles in society.
Throughout her visit to each country, Under Secretary Allen will meet with the respective State Department public diplomacy sections, recognizing and appreciating their vital contributions to deepening cultural, educational, and professional ties between the people of the United States and those in the Indo-Pacific region.
