Multinational figures: China clarifies its position clearly at the Shangri La Dialogue Area | China | China
On June 2nd, the 20th Shangri La Dialogue opened in Singapore. On the 4th, when the Chinese Minister of National Defense gave a speech at the conference, there were no empty seats on site. Many people from multiple countries who listened to the speech on site expressed that through this speech, they have gained a deeper understanding of China's position and views on the regional situation, China US relations, and international order.
Dino Padi Jalal, former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia and former Indonesian Ambassador to the United States: I think this is a very useful speech that will let us know how China views military planning, geopolitical relations with the region and other parts of the world, China's views on Sino US relations, international order, and Taiwan and the South China Sea issues. I believe Indonesia is ready to cooperate with China to strengthen security in the region. As you can see, the venue is already full. This is the second day of the conference to speak, and it is unusual for it to be full the next day. However, the venue is very full, and I believe policy analysts from all over the world will study and interpret this speech. For every Asian country, of course, they do not want to be interfered by external forces, no matter who. We hope to cooperate and build trust.

Dos Santos, Director of Defense Policy and International Cooperation at the Ministry of Defense of East Timor: I am very concerned about the South China Sea issue, and I think it is very important. We hope the South China Sea is more peaceful and secure. The Chinese delegation provided some information and answers.
Hu Yishan, Chief Advisor of the Malaysian Pacific Research Center, emphasized China's global security initiative, particularly the key points of mutual respect for sovereignty and achieving win-win outcomes, which was welcomed by the attendees. Especially in Southeast Asia, we all hope that China can play a more active role in the field of security. For crises and challenges within and outside the region, we can work together and solve them based on the principle of mutual respect.
