 business representatives, media colleagues, and members of the Washington policy community here with us. So welcome to everyone. The Heritage Foundation is again honored to present the B.C. Lee Lecture on International Affairs. These lectures on the United States' relations with the Indo-Pacific region are the Heritage Foundation's preeminent event on the Indo-Pacific and are funded by a generous endowment grant from the Samsung Group in honor of Samsung founder Byung-Chul Lee's honor.
