Mapping the Indo-Pacific - Indian Express

It is also noteworthy that the US, which has avoided the use of the term "Indian subcontinent" in favour of the more politically correct "South Asia", has reverted to the earlier formulation. This is significant because it figures in a very important policy document at the level of the secretary of state.

I did not find the document alluded to at U.S. Department of State.

I did find this lecture by Kurt M. Campbell, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs

Public Lecture on "U.S. Engagement in Asia"
