I want everyone to know, and I want everybody in America to know, that we have a stake in the future of this region.

This respect cannot be earned through belligerence.

I am confident that justice will be done, and I will insist that the full story be told.

It is a great honor to be in Tokyo, the first stop on my first visit to Asia as President of the United States.
