VOA: Defense Chiefs Meet in Singapore Amid Rising Maritime Tension
SINGAPORE - Defense chiefs from 26 countries gathered in Singapore Friday at a time of escalating tension in the South China Sea.
The Shangri-La Dialogue, which runs through Sunday, occurs just days after the release of an assertive Chinese defense white paper and a blunt reaction from the top Pentagon official, leading to increased fears of a maritime clash between China and the United States.
The annual security meeting in Singapore allows countries to discuss “how the tensions in the South China Sea might be better managed and how escalation can be prevented,” said Tim Huxley of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), in a VOA interview. IISS is the organizer of the Shangri-La Dialogue.
