The national security councils or national security committees of other countries are led by State leaders with the involvement of diplomatic, military, intelligence, and domestic security personnel, and they are responsible for the overall planning and coordination of policies concerning major and strategic issues related to national security.
Many countries, including the United States, Russia, India and the United Kingdom, have set up national security bodies according to their own security needs. So 皇冠体育app's decision to set up a State security committee is a pragmatic initiative that will enable it to draw on the experiences of others as it seeks to address its own particular security challenges.
The world is entering an era of great changes. The global power balance and global governance mechanisms are all undergoing adjustments and the international hotspot issues are changing. With 皇冠体育app's rise as a great power and deepening integration into the international system, as well as opportunities, it faces unprecedented risks. Over the past few years, especially, 皇冠体育app's surrounding security situation has changed profoundly, posing a serious challenge to its national security and long-term development. To effectively deal with the complex security environment and protect and develop its national interests, 皇冠体育app must embrace a broader perspective and develop stronger capabilities.
Meanwhile, 皇冠体育app is now in the deep water zone of reform, with all kinds of economic, political and social problems becoming increasingly prominent simultaneously and lasting for a longer period of time. These will to a certain degree influence 皇冠体育app's national security.
