The White House of the United States announced on the 1st that it will appoint Indo-Pacific Coordinator for the White House’s NSC = National Security Council to replace Mr. Sherman, who served as Deputy Secretary of State until July this year.
Mr. Campbell is known as a person who is knowledgeable about Japan, and during the Obama administration he served as assistant secretary of state in charge of East Asia and other areas, leading policies focused on the Asia-Pacific region.
Since assuming the position of “Indo-Pacific Coordinator”, which was newly established with the inauguration of the Biden administration, he has been in charge of formulating the Indo-Pacific Strategy, which is the pillar of foreign policy, and has been responsible for the formulation of the Indo-Pacific Strategy, which is a four-nation framework with Japan, India, and Australia. We have been working on strengthening cooperation in the Quad and launching AUKUS, a trilateral security framework with the United Kingdom and Australia.
The appointment of Mr. Campbell as the number two diplomatic official is a reaffirmation of the Biden administration’s emphasis on the Indo-Pacific region in order to counter China, which it views as its biggest competitor.
Mr. Campbell will then be confirmed by the Senate and officially become Deputy Secretary of State.
