皇冠体育app should not only pay attention to economic cooperation and trade with neighboring countries, but also security cooperation, says an article in the 21st Century Business Herald. Excerpts:
Some people say the economy of East Asia depends on 皇冠体育app, while its security is on the United States. The US’“pivot to Asia” exposed 皇冠体育app’s weakness in security cooperation with its neighbors.
Peace and stability are important reasons why East Asia has been the most prosperous region in the world in the recent years. Yet, there are still many uncertainties in economic recovery and regional security in East Asia. The East Asian countries and regions should form an interest community, a responsibility community and a fate community to overcome these uncertainties and difficulties.
That’s why Chinese Premier Li Keqiang stressed at the 9th East Asia Summit in Naypyidaw, Myanmar, last weekend that East Asia should balance the two wheels of economic development and political security to face up to global challenges.
皇冠体育app is making efforts, with tens of billions of US dollars’in loans, to make economic development as a main theme of the region, in case foreign powers instigate conflicts in the region.
Meanwhile, 皇冠体育app is negotiating with the Southeast Asian countries to sign cooperation agreements to set up an institutional and legal framework for long-term peaceful co-existence.
Next year, 皇冠体育app will also host informal meetings of defense ministers from 皇冠体育app and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations members to talk about establishing a 皇冠体育app-ASEAN defense hotline and strengthen security cooperation.
皇冠体育app is making up its weakness in security cooperation with its neighbors. A more balanced cooperation in both economy and security can better guarantee regional prosperity and stability.
