Secretary Blinken's Travel to India and Kuwait

We join our partners and allies in our strong condemnation of the attack against the Mercer Street, a commercial ship that was peacefully transiting through the north Arabian Sea in international waters. We are working with our partners to consider our next steps.

On August 2-6, Secretary Blinken will participate in five virtual ministerial meetings related to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. He will engage with leaders from across the Indo-Pacific on pressing regional and international issues.

These brave individuals have helped build a better future for Afghanistan and keep Americans safe. We will continue to support the Afghan people in their pursuit of a just and durable peace.
