Dong noted that the world is undergoing rapid change and international security is currently in a fragile moment.

The defense minister proposed strengthening consensus through a new security concept, preserving stability via multilateralism, and preventing risks based on an objective assessment of historical experiences.

The Chinese official also advocated for resolving issues through dialogue and consultation, paving the way for common security through development, and deepening cooperation with concrete actions.

He affirmed that the key to global security governance lies in action, and results should be measured by the effect achieved.

Dong noted that China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is willing to work with other countries’ armed forces to implement the Global Security Initiative (GSI), strengthen mutual trust, and expand international coordination for common security.
