Meeting the Challenges of Regional Security
Contents:
International law should not be interpreted out of context, and such interpretation should not be preached as so-called rules of law in international relations. To be specific, the new Asia-Pacific security architecture should comply with the following rules:. China has been a firm defender and active contributor to the international rule of law, norms and orders. To conform to the new international order for the seas, China and ASEAN members jointly formulated the DOC in , and have made best efforts to implement it fully and effectively. This is a great contribution to peace and stability in the South China Sea.
We are steadily pushing forward negotiations and working for early conclusion of the COC on the basis of consensus. Third, the security architecture should be held together by partnerships. To a large extent, progress in building the Asia-Pacific security architecture depends on the relationships among regional countries as well as interactions among major countries in the the Asia-Pacific.
All countries should abandon the cold-war mentality, and work together to pursue a new path of dialogue and partnership, instead of confrontation, alliance, and enmity. We should build an Asia-Pacific partnership featuring equality, mutual trust, inclusiveness and mutual benefit through consultation and mutual accommodation. China is committed to promoting sound interactions with other major countries, which has contributed to stable relations among major countries in the Asia Pacific.
China is actively pushing forward a new model of major country relationship with the US based on no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.
The comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Russia is showing a strong momentum. China is actively implementing partnerships for peace, growth, reform and civilization with Europe. China is actively strengthening the strategic partnership of peace and prosperity with India, and developing a closer partnership for development.
And China is also endeavoring to improve its strategic relationship of mutual benefit with Japan based on the spirit of taking history as guidance and looking into the future. Fourth, the security architecture should be supported by a comprehensive and multi-layered network. Given the diversity in the Asia-Pacific, a unified security framework in this region is not foreseeable in the near future.
In fact, the building of the new Asia-Pacific security architecture is not meant as the start of a new venture, rather, it will be based on the further coordination, upgrading and improvement of existing mechanisms. It will be normal for various mechanisms to advance together and form a multi-layered, wide-ranging and comprehensive Asia-Pacific security framework.
Bilateral military alliances should be more transparent and play a constructive role for regional peace and stability. China will as always support and promote the development of regional security dialogue and cooperation mechanisms, actively participate in them, and improve regional security architecture together with other parities.

Fifth, the security architecture should draw strength from common development. Achieving common development and prosperity are the common aspiration of all countries in the Asia Pacific. The Asia-Pacific security architecture should also serve this aim.
Work together to improve regional security architecture and address common challenges
Countries should vigorously promote social and economic development, improve living standards, and narrow the development gap within the region. At the same time, we should pay close attention to sustainable development, and create conditions to enable all countries and people of all social backgrounds to access the fruits of development and achieve inclusive and mutually beneficial development. With China's efforts, the G20 Hangzhou Summit reached important consensus on the inclusive and interactive development. As an issue of strategic importance for the Asia-Pacific, the building of a regional security architecture has drawn attention from all sides.
Under the framework of the East Asia Summit, relevant countries have held 5 workshops on this theme. China actively supports and promotes relevant discussions.
In this context, the building of a regional security cooperation architecture in the Asia-Pacific is lagging behind. According to the report, Qatar ranked first in the world as it was the lowest countries in terms of cost of crime and violence, sixth globally in the indicator against organised crime, ninth on the global level of public satisfaction and trust in services provided by the people and twelfth in the index of countries free from terrorism. To be specific, the new Asia-Pacific security architecture should comply with the following rules:. China is committed to promoting sound interactions with other major countries, which has contributed to stable relations among major countries in the Asia Pacific. Actions are based on concepts.
One of the most important indicators is the decrease in deaths related to traffic accidents to 5. This rate is less than the rate placed by the National Strategy for Traffic Safety, which is 6 deaths per , inhabitants until This rate is also below the global average of Despite the high number of vehicles and drivers in the country, Qatar is leading the Gulf and the region in general safety traffic. As a result of these achievements and successes at various levels, Qatar maintained its rank in the World Peace Index.
It was ranked first in the Arab world and the thirtieth globally out of for A report issued by the World Economic Forum ranked Qatar as one of the best countries in terms of security due to low rates of crime.

According to the report, Qatar ranked first in the world as it was the lowest countries in terms of cost of crime and violence, sixth globally in the indicator against organised crime, ninth on the global level of public satisfaction and trust in services provided by the people and twelfth in the index of countries free from terrorism. All these indicators are directly related to the level of security enjoyed by the State. Qatar ranked first in the Arab World and the second in the global annual report of the index of crime, which is issued by The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential, which is one of the largest and most famous encyclopedias in this area online.
The report included countries and confirmed that Qatar enjoyed the lowest rates of crimes in general. Qatar was also ranked first in the Arab World and the 40th globally in the field of combating money laundering crimes and terrorism financing according to Basal indicator , which is issued by the Swiss government. In the service sector, the Ministry of Interior broke a new record in the number of transactions done through its various departments during the first half of this year. We live in an age of religiosity — piety everywhere is on the rise. Across the Asian region, great religions co-exist in close proximity; Southeast Asia is more or less equally Buddhist and Muslim.

Alarmingly, a divide has opened up between the Muslim and Buddhist communities. This perception of threatened sacred space has been exploited in turn by politicians who have mobilised religious nationalist platforms that preach hatred on social media platforms more and more people have access to. The threat to security stems from the possibility of communal violence spreading beyond the confines of Rakhine State. Yet, unlike the case in the multilateral sphere of traditional security, the tools of dialogue are less effective and the space for civilised discourse is shrinking.
The point about religious belief is orthodoxy, which does not lend itself to compromise. We need to start by looking within our communities.

Buddhists and Muslims, as well as other faiths, need to reflect within their communities on the dangers of polarisation that lie ahead. This is not easy. Neither the Muslim nor Buddhist faith are easily moderated because they lack coherent leadership; moderate views are easily hijacked by extremists reflecting a growing insecurity in society fuelled by political uncertainty and alarming economic inequality.
But I do see the possibility of Muslim and Buddhist leaders reaching a consensus on the need to preserve traditional customs and laws that reinforce tolerance, and I see this as a useful starting point for more effective action. The ASEAN Foundation has been quietly conducting informal dialogue on religious tolerance; this initiative could usefully be amplified and empowered, and its outcomes elevated to the official and leadership level as a matter of concern for regional security. The alternative, in my view, is to sleepwalk into the kind of sectarian conflict that besets the Middle East.
Insecurity and the failure to deliver effective governance, for example, is what effectively gave birth to the siege of Marawi in Muslim Mindanao.

This together with the Rakhine State Crisis in Myanmar should be a wake-up call for us all. Neither of these security challenges — one geo-political, the other socio-cultural - can be addressed until we recognise the need for this region to establish a mechanism for mobilising more effective coordination and cooperation. There is a strong argument put forward that the reason why regional security has been so well preserved to date is because the existing mechanisms of non-interference cordon off potentially divisive issues. Countries simply turn away from the problems of others instinctively.
But how does this tried and tested safety valve help us address nuclearisation of the Korean peninsula? How does it meet the challenge of spreading sectarian tensions in the wake of the Rakhine State Crisis? How does it foster closer cooperation and coordination to protect the environment in maritime areas? The challenges we face in the security realm today are no longer delimited by boundaries. Something has to give, in my view.
