Thank you to Indonesian Ambassador Soesilo and to @ASEAN for hosting me this week.

@DFCgov is committed to a more secure and prosperous Southeast Asia. We look forward to working with ASEAN businesses and governments to turn opportunities into investments that deliver lasting benefits for all our countries.

Enjoyed meeting with @MincomercioCo Minister Mauricio Gómez and @ColombiaEmbUSA’s Amb. María Consuelo Araújo! The start of President @ABDELAESPRIELLA’s Administration presents enormous opportunity for partnership between the United States and Colombia.

America has strong allies in our Hemisphere, and we look forward to working together to advance our shared economic interests!

Enjoyed speaking with Dr. Kevin Roberts at @Heritage today about how President @realDonaldTrump and @DFCgov are restoring American Economic Statecraft. America First means America comes in first. DFC invests for America’s strategic interests and to counter our adversaries around the world.

Great to meet with SoftBank CEO Masa Son, a true pioneer in AI and next generation digital technology. Masa and the @SoftBank team are great partners to the United States and bring incredible ambition and investment to some of our most important economic and technology priorities.

Enjoyed my conversation with H.E. Saida Mirziyoyeva on expanding the economic partnership between the United States and Uzbekistan, an important part of President Trump’s C5+1 agenda.

Together, we are working to advance investments across infrastructure, technology, and other vital sectors that strengthen both our countries.
