Samdech Techo Hun Sen: In order to achieve “harmonious security” in the region, we need at least five inputs
Phnom Penh: On the occasion of the opening of the 9th ASEAN-Plus Defense Ministers’ Meeting on November 23, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia, said that in order to achieve “harmonious security” in the region We need at least five inputs.
The five key inputs to achieve “harmonious security” include the following:
1. Promote the ASEAN Center, which generally refers to the centralized role of ASEAN in setting the agenda and the ability to define and modify results.
2-Promoting regional security in accordance with the law, environment and openness. The ASEAN Perspective on the Indo-Pacific is an important vehicle for achieving regional security innovations. We welcome all Indo-Pacific initiatives, as long as these initiatives promote peace and development are not used against any country and in line with the ASEAN Middle East and the ASEAN Indo-Pacific Vision.
3. Strengthen security and defense cooperation based on trust and people as the core. We have identified the security and well-being of the people as the basis of our international security and cooperation policy. Mutual trust is the foundation of international cooperation.
4-Promoting security in all aspects. The Kovid-19 pandemic is a warning sign that we need to pay more attention to health security. Climate security is another important issue that we need to mobilize more efforts and resources. Civil-military cooperation on all aspects of security is becoming increasingly important.
5-Promoting security with cooperation. With the increasing complexity and multifaceted nature of security and cross-border threats, we need to work more closely to address these challenges and obstacles.
He stressed that open, honest and constructive relations and dialogue are the way to the elimination of tensions, the prevention of future conflicts and the building of “harmonious security” based on respect. Mutual understanding, trust, and mutual respect. We must work together to address our traditional and non-traditional security challenges.
