Clinton picks Asia for first State trip
WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton departs Sunday on her first foreign trip as secretary of State, a visit to four Asian capitals that will feature talks on climate change, the economic crisis and the North Korean nuclear threat.

Clinton's eight-day mission will take her to Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and China. The far East "was a logical choice for her to focus on," and "signals that the U.S. recognizes the growing importance of Asia," said Paul Stares, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country where President Obama lived as a child, Clinton may lay the groundwork for a presidential visit later this year, Stares said. Visiting Jakarta is also "part of this attempt to reshape the United States' image in the Muslim world, said Rodger Baker, director of East Asian analysis at Texas-based Stratfor, an intelligence company.
