The November 13-16 visit reveals the commitment of President Obama and the US Government to strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries, especially in trade, he said.
The official said that his tour of Indonesia and Vietnam marks the development of trade ties between the US and ASEAN countries.
It is also to promote long-lasting relationships and trade commitments by creating a forum to discuss economic cooperation prospects and a foundation for cooperation.
Representatives of some US groups and companies said the visit aims to seek trade opportunities and boost investment in infrastructure projects, including civil nuclear energy, aviation, environmental technology, architecture, construction and engineering.
