President George W Bush has vowed to maintain strong US engagement in Asia in a key speech on his first overseas trip since heavy mid-term poll losses.
Speaking in Singapore, Mr Bush said the US would resist old temptations of isolationism and protectionism.

He also urged North Korea to seek a peaceful path in the nuclear crisis.
