BEIJING (Reuters) – U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will visit four Asian countries from Sunday, her office said, without mentioning Taiwan amid intense speculation she might visit the self-ruled island claimed by China.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading a Congressional delegation to the Indo-Pacific region, including visits to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan,” her office said in a press release https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/73122.
“The trip will focus on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region.”
