The US government backs Vietnam’s role in ASEAN and will continue to help the regional organization carry out its self-development plans, Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of State Scot Marciel said Wednesday.

Marciel, who is also the US Ambassador to ASEAN, is on a working visit to Hanoi before attending the 14th ASEAN Summit in Hua Hin, Thailand from February 28-March 1.

“Southeast Asia is quite important to us and we therefore strive for good relations with ASEAN. Vietnam plays a key role in ASEAN and the region. The country’s seat in the UN’s Security Council has made its role more important,” he said.

In his meetings with Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry officials, Marciel applauded the country’s early appointment of its ambassador to ASEAN and gave strong support to Vietnam assuming ASEAN’s presidency in 2010.
