ASEAN Post Ministerial Conference
Deputy Secretary Negroponte: "...we have had a very good day of meetings, particularly the ASEAN Post-Ministerial Conference consultations with the ASEAN countries. I had a very good meeting with the 10 Foreign Ministers and had an opportunity to emphasize the great importance that the United States attaches to our relationship with ASEAN -- a group of countries comprising 100 million people, the fourth largest market for the United States economically, and essentially an area of peace and tranquility, where all of the conflict situations between the countries of the region have been resolved and are part of history.
