In a speech at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, where he arrived to attend the G20 summit, Obama assured that the last two years of his presidency will pass under the sign of the strategic return of US policy toward the Asia Pacific region. It is intended to include both economic activities, such as military and diplomatic.
Obama stressed that the security of Asia can not be based on “coercion or intimidation of small states by large, but concluded alliances for mutual security.” He warned against the “territorial disputes that could erupt into confrontation.”
The US president did not mention this the context of China, but – according to Reuters – there was no doubt that this was a reference to Beijing’s territorial disputes with its neighbors and the growing concerns of the region expansion of Chinese military capabilities.
Obama pointed out, however, achieved during his recent visit to Beijing with China an agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere as a positive example of cooperation and proof that a global agreement on this issue is possible . He announced that the US will spend an additional $ 3 billion fund for the support of the United Nations (The Green Climate Fund) aimed to help poor countries fight climate change.
According to the agreement reached, the US pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent. by 2025, while China has achieved the ultimate limit these emissions by 2030.
