Singapore’s defense minister has urged China as a dominant power in Asia to take the lead in reducing tensions in the region, warning that a military conflict like the one in Ukraine or the Israel-Hamas war would be devastating for the continent and its future. Ng Eng Hen spoke on Tuesday, the last day of an annual defense conference held by China.
Nong Rong, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, arrives for the 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum in Beijing, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023. Singapore’s Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen called on China, as a dominant power in Asia, to take the lead in reducing tensions by being a benevolent one, warning that military conflict like the wars in Ukraine and Gaza would be devastating to the region’s future.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu used the forum to highlight Russia’s deepening ties with China as it faces isolation from the West over its invasion of Ukraine. Ng, noting the territorial disputes in the South China Sea and the nuclear threat from North Korea, said it is vital for defense and military establishments to engage to reduce the risk of miscalculations and mishaps.
“Whether China accepts it or not, wants it or not, it is already seen as a dominant power and must therefore act as a benevolent one,” Ng said.
