Singapore's Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen called for strengthened rules-based international cooperation during a keynote discussion at the 61st Munich Security Conference. In an interview with CGTN host Xu Qinduo, Hen emphasized that multipolarization has become an \"established reality,\" with China playing a pivotal role in shaping this evolving global framework.
\"Most nations share a common vision – rejecting might-makes-right politics while building systems where all countries uphold shared principles,\" Hen stated, aligning these objectives with China's Global Security Initiative that promotes multilateral solutions to security challenges.
The remarks highlight growing consensus among Asia-Pacific leaders for balancing regional interests with global stability. Analysts note such dialogues signal shifting geopolitical priorities as developing economies increasingly influence institutional decision-making.
