Brunei's 2013 chairmanship of ASEAN, as well as to emphasise the importance of
the "increasingly vibrant US-Brunei relationship", the US embassy in

Her visit to Brunei will be a
part of her series of visits beginning today with the Cook Islands, followed by

According to a press statement by
State Department, Clinton will also be highlighting the US-Brunei ASEAN English
Language initiative once she lands in the Sultanate.
