US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived at Don Mueang airport on Sunday morning as President Barack Obama is set to arrive later the same day on
his first foreign trip since re-election, underscoring Asia's importance to US growth as his administration seeks to harness economic opportunities abroad.

"Why is the American president spending all this time in Asia so soon after winning re-election?” she said, according to the transcript of a speech she gave
as part of her third visit to the region since July. “Because so much of the history of the 21st century is being written here. America's expanded engagement
in the region represents our commitment to help shape that shared future."
Mrs Clinton also encouraged Asian countries to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership
, which she said the US would combine with other regional trade agreements
to reshape global commerce.
"We continue to consult with Japan:*:, and we are offering to assist with capacity building so that every country in Asean can eventually join," she said. "We
welcome the interest of
any nation willing to meet the 21st century standards of the TPP."
