Macron and Hegseth to address China and Ukraine War on Singapore Security Forum

Singapore: French President Emmanuel Macron and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are one of the security forums in Singapore later this week to a security forum in Singapore that will focus on China’s growing outstanding, Russia’s global influence on Ukraine, global influence of Russia’s war and struggles in Asia. Macron opens the conference with a main speech on Friday night, expecting to touch all the issues, as well as putting pressure on the heavy tariff declared by President Donald Trump’s administration. This is the first time for the Shangri-La dialogue hosted by the International Institute for Security Studies, which is happening against the backdrop of increased rhetoric between Beijing and Washington due to the danger of Tripl Digit Tariff’s Trump administration on China, and also about some uncertainty of America to protect America. China claims that self-governance democracy has its own form, and Chinese President Xi Jinping has not refused to take it with force. China sends military aircraft, ships and detective balloons near Taiwan as part of a campaign of daily harassment, and currently has an aircraft carrier to the south -east of the island. Hegseth told reporters before riding on his aircraft to Singapore that Washington’s policies were to stop a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. “We don’t want any struggle with anyone, including communist Chinese,” he said. “We will be strong for our interests. And this is a big part of what this journey is.” China, which usually sends its Defense Minister to the Shangri-La Forum, appears to send a lower level delegation this year, but it is not said why. After the visit of the Philippines to the march of the Philippines, Singapore’s visit to Singapore is his second region, which has seen the conflict with China over competitive regional claims in the South China Sea. In the visit that also included a stop in Japan, brought a degree of relief on growing concerns with the Philippines and others, which is about American support from a President who has taken a lane -deen approach to diplomacy and is wary of foreign busyness. The US is pursuing a “free and open Indo-Pacific” policy, including regular sailing warships in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, almost claimed by China in its entirety. The European Union has adopted a more economics-managed approach, but many European countries have also regularly participated in the freedom of navigation practice, including France, which sent a carrier strike group on a five-month mission through Indo-Pacific ended in April. In its published Indo-Pacific strategy, France has underlined the need to preserve “a rule-based international order” in front of its global competition with “China’s growing power and regional claims” and its global competition with the United States. France’s relations for France-Pacific are strong, with more than 1.6 million citizens living in the field in French foreign areas. The French President’s office said in his speech, Macron also expected to emphasize that the war in Ukraine is affecting the world and Russia wants to destabilize Asia. While the democracy of the region, including Australia, South Korea and Japan, are supporting Ukraine, China is growing in support of Russia and North Korea and sent troops to fight for Moscow. The conference comes because the Civil War is angry in Myanmar, creating a large -scale human crisis that has become complicated by only the effects of a devastating earthquake that was hit in March. It also follows the outbreak of violence on the Thai-Kambodian border this week, killing a Cambodian soldier in a brief exchange of fire between the two sides. There is a long history of land disputes in Thailand and Cambodia, although Thailand said after a short clash that the situation was resolved. The matter of more concern, nuclear-cosmetics, neighboring India and Pakistan came to the verge of war earlier this month in their most serious military confrontation in decades. The two armies exchanged bullets, artillery attacks, missiles and drones, who killed dozens of people, and Pakistan shot several Indian aircraft, before a Trus was declared.
