GENERAL LI’S SPEECH WAS” Really Apparent.”
Dr. Ng responded that many officials had expressed their admiration for General Li’s speech and that he was” really clear” in his attitude when questioned about his thoughts on it.
” I’m glad he did so in a composed manner. Whether you like the information or never depends on the viewer, but the quality was in terms of where the dark lines were and how they would affect different countries. Each nation may include to make a choice, he continued.
Dr. Ng gave a ministerial speech on Sunday morning in which he provided examples of” as new as ten years ago” regular exchanges between American and Chinese officials. The defense officials of the US and China last traveled to one another in 2018.
People may forget that they were at that, and I think that’s something you can aspire to, Dr. Ng said to the media.
I can tell you that it takes time for men from different militaries to click together. That is the process of developing connections. Therefore, we want( the US and China) to develop that kind of relationship, and we are assured that they will do so in the future.
We’re really onlookers, but as I said, we aren’t uninterested observers. We have a responsibility to ensure that the US-China contact ranges are reliable.
Dr. Ng even expressed some opinions regarding a Chinese warship that, according to the US military, maneuvered” in an unsafe manner” close to an American Warship passing through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday.
According to Dr. Ng, all nations are” involved when either great or fast-moving objects move nearby” to one another.
And that’s why, ASEAN, we’ve been working very hard to prevent that ,” he continued, citing two set of rules for impromptu air and sea occurrences between members of the group.
Incidents have occurred, and that is precisely what we are saying. Who are you going to phone if it happens? Ghosts? ” Dr. Ng chuckled.
Dr. Ng stated that some people had told him that” we would have needed one very much if there was no such thing at the moment” when assessing how this year’s Shangri-La Dialogue had turned out.
Therefore, he continued,” So in that sense, it’s an assurance that the Shangri – La Dialogue plays a role and that it naturally fills in the gaps today.
