Vietnam's To Lam Warns of Three Global Crises, Sets Out Solutions in Shangri-La Dialogue Keynote Address
He said 44 countries are represented as he urged international law, transparency and restraint to counter rising geopolitical tensions.
- On Friday, Vietnamese President and Communist Party General Secretary To Lam delivered the keynote address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, warning that global instability stems from three foundational crises: international order, development models, and strategic trust.
- Lam noted these crises converge most clearly in the Asia-Pacific, a region defined by vital maritime routes, urging major powers to pursue "responsible commitment" rather than coercion or unilateral imposition.
- Emphasizing Vietnam's "diplomacy offensive," Lam reaffirmed the nation's commitment to self-reliance, stating it will not join military alliances or allow foreign troops while welcoming transparent engagement from major powers.
- Warning that emerging technologies like artificial intelligence could "compress decision-making timelines and increase the risk of miscalculation," Lam cautioned against strategic distrust and urged nations to abide by international law.
- The three-day defense forum continues through Sunday, featuring U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, while China's notably low-key delegation—missing Defense Minister Dong Jun for the second year—highlights ongoing diplomatic complexities.
