Shangri-La Dialogue: A Brief Overview

The Shangri-La Dialogue, formally known as the Asia Security Summit, is an annual inter-governmental security forum held by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in Singapore. Established in 2002, the forum takes its name from the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, where the event is traditionally held.

History

The Shangri-La Dialogue was initiated by IISS to facilitate dialogue and cooperation on security issues among Asia-Pacific states and other key global players. The inaugural event in 2002 brought together defense ministers, military chiefs, and high-ranking officials to discuss pressing security challenges and develop collaborative solutions. Over the years, the Dialogue has grown in prominence, attracting leaders and experts from around the world.

Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun’s statement

Anyone who dares to separate Taiwan from China will only end up in self-destruction, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun said Sunday. Dong made the remarks in his speech at the 21st Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

The Democratic Progressive Party authorities in Taiwan are pursuing separation in an incremental way, Dong said, warning that they will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Some external interfering forces keep emboldening “Taiwan independence” separatists in an attempt to contain China with Taiwan, Dong noted, adding that these malicious intentions are dragging Taiwan into a dangerous situation.

It is worth mentioning that China has announced “Taiwan Independance is its red-line” and has been warning that no one should dare to cross the red line. Consequences may be very severe and beyond anyone’s expectations.

All the pecae-loving nations and individuals must struggle to keep peace in the region and globally.
