2015年CRI 新加坡香格里拉对话开始

 

This year's Shangri-La Dialogue kicked off in Singapore on Friday with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong delivering the keynote speech focusing on balance of power, regional cooperation and terrorism.

The issue of the South China Sea is poised¹ to be a major focus of the summit as tensions are on the rise after the United States sent military jets into the region.

Lee Hsien Loong stressed the importance of the U.S.-China relationship in Asian-Pacific region, saying that the Pacific is 'vast enough' to contain China and the U.S.

"There is no a road map to such a happy scenario². The future is not a straight line projection³ of the past.

But if we resist the temptation to be consumed by short term issues, keep our focus on longer term shared interests and continue striving for peaceful,

open, and inclusive international order, then, step by step, we will build confidence and trust, and maximize our chances.

Then the next 50 years will be stable, prosperous, and an upward path."

The Shangri-La Dialogue, now enters its 14th year, is recognized as Asia-Pacific's foremost defense⁴ and security summit.

The three-day summit brings together defense chiefs and security experts from 26 nations.

Admiral Sun Jianguo, vice⁵ chief of staff of the Chinese army, leads the Chinese delegation⁶ to the dialogue this year.

Sun has had bilateral⁷ talks with his Japanese counterparts Tokuchi Hideshi on the sidelines of the meeting.

Both military officials have expressed hope that China and Japan can sign a Memorandum⁸ of Understanding on the maritime⁹ and aerial crisis liaison¹⁰ mechanism¹¹,

and launch the mechanism at an early date.

The Chinese military official also sat down with Vietnamese Deputy Defense Minister Nguyen Chi Vinh.

The two voiced willingness to solve the South China Sea issue through negotiations¹² and talks.
