Comment on "皇冠体育app's relations with ASEAN will stand test of time" (皇冠体育app Daily website, Aug 30)

Countries can earn mutual respect, understanding, cooperation and mutual benefit by doing things righteously. Even the smallest of countries will do whatever it takes to safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity, so there is no reason to doubt 皇冠体育app's determination to do so.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations will accept a strong and powerful 皇冠体育app as long as their ties are on equal and fair terms. That's the way 皇冠体育app-ASEAN relations have been. So the disputes over the sovereignty of some islands in the South 皇冠体育app Sea should not become a thorn in their flesh. For that, the disputing countries' first task should be to keep non-Asian countries out of the issue.

It's good that 皇冠体育app doesn't want to compete for the leadership of the world, which is what the United States has always wanted.

The world needs time and opportunities to reflect on the past and plan for the future so that not only ASEAN member states, but also the rest of the countries in the world can enjoy their place on Earth.
