9. This is a challenge that I believe that the experts at this meeting can find a solution to, or a suitable equilibrium for the region, by coming up with ways and means for joint cooperation in laying down the foundations, criteria and codes of conduct as well as initiating joint activities constructively so as to help narrow gaps and create balance in the regional architecture and to do so in good time in order to lead countries in the region towards sustainable security and stability without leaving any country behind. This is for our own mutual benefit as well as for succeeding generations.
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
10. What sorts of preparations do we need to make then? Are we ready? All countries have to begin from a foundation of security and stability in all dimensions. No one country can face the challenges alone. Thinking only in terms of the national security, however, may no longer be sufficient to address the challenges that we face in a holistic manner. We have to broaden our thinking to include regional and global security, which covers economic security, food security, water security, energy security, cyber-security, among other things.
11. Everything that I have said so far touches on the issue of security. I believe that we should come together to brainstorm constructively, piecing together the various pieces of the jigsaw puzzle in order to create a better world for our children and our countries as soon as possible.
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
(III) The Concept of Regional Equilibrium
12. How shall we address the various problems that affect global security together? Let’s begin with the basics: First is through understanding; second, through cooperation; third, through giving one another support and encouragement; and fourth, through giving opportunities and support to countries facing internal issues so that they can solve domestic problems by themselves. Without outside encouragement for resolving internal issues, the problems faced by those countries could become more complicated, spiralling the situation out of control and ultimately affecting the security of other countries, as has happened and is happening in all corners of the globe.
