"I think for the Shangri-La Dialogue, among many global issues, the one issue that really stands out is Asia's security. It is very important that the leaders, including the military leaders, come together in a very respectful way, to be very open about the importance of Asia, the regionalism as well as the globalism that can lead to the benefit of all the people and all the economies."

"I think the impact of the ongoing Middle East crisis is really quite disastrous for the world in terms of business, in terms of investment, in terms of diplomacy, in terms of security. And I think we really need to get to the root of the problem. I think the entities that are responsible for the war should actually stop perpetuating the actions and bringing peace back to the global security order."

"I think if you look at China's approach so far, and in fact, over time, it has been very consistent and stable. There's respect for the UN principles. The United Nations is recognized as a good moral authority and institutional authority to execute peace and prosperity. And I think China has been very solutions-oriented and looking for ways to collaborate rather than to induce conflict. And I think if you look at the overall scheme of things, what is good for China is actually good for the world."

The 23rd Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier defense and security summit, is set to open in Singapore Friday through Sunday against a backdrop of Middle East tensions, energy price volatility, and global supply chain uncertainty.

The opening ceremony of the dialogue will be held on Friday night. More than 550 people, including defense ministers, senior defense officials, business leaders and security experts from over 40 countries and regions around the world, will discuss issues such as the security situation in the Asia-Pacific region.

High on the agenda of the gathering are six plenary sessions, two ministerial roundtables and three special forums. Topics range from strategic landscape in Asia and responses to cross-regional security threats to maritime security in Asia.

Loh Yeow Khoon, director of the Center for Governance and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore, said Asia's security stands out as a central issue at the Shangri-La Dialogue, stressing the importance of leaders and military officials meeting in a respectful and open way.

"I think for the Shangri-La Dialogue, among many global issues, the one issue that really stands out is Asia's security. It is very important that the leaders, including the military leaders, come together in a very respectful way, to be very open about the importance of Asia, the regionalism as well as the globalism that can lead to the benefit of all the people and all the economies," said Loh.

From shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for transporting nearly one-fifth of the world's oil shipments, to fluctuations in energy prices and uncertainties in global supply chains, these issues are expected to dominate discussions and weigh heavily on participants at the forum, said Loh.

"I think the impact of the ongoing Middle East crisis is really quite disastrous for the world in terms of business, in terms of investment, in terms of diplomacy, in terms of security. And I think we really need to get to the root of the problem. I think the entities that are responsible for the war should actually stop perpetuating the actions and bringing peace back to the global security order," he said.

The Singaporean expert believes China’s role in keeping peace and driving growth is becoming more important as global security grows unstable.

"I think if you look at China's approach so far, and in fact, over time, it has been very consistent and stable. There's respect for the UN principles. The United Nations is recognized as a good moral authority and institutional authority to execute peace and prosperity. And I think China has been very solutions-oriented and looking for ways to collaborate rather than to induce conflict. And I think if you look at the overall scheme of things, what is good for China is actually good for the world," said Loh.

Since its launch in 2002 by the British think tank the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the Shangri-La Dialogue, officially known as the Asia Security Summit, has been held annually except in 2020 and 2021 with the support of the Singaporean government.
