The longer we wait, the threat of a perilous conflict grows greater. The situation in the East Asia region can still be resolved but will need full support due to the fact that multiple countries are preparing for war whether it's expanding their armies, developing nuclear technologies, or taking a combative stance. The pressure in relations involving multiple asian countries, such as china with the United States of America or with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with practically the entire East Asian region, is growing.
Cambodia believes that security cooperation is essential for the humanity to go on as there are very dangerous threats that lie in the hands of countries who have had unpredictable track record in the past. DPRK’s nuclear program is the main concern of this in this current age. While Cambodia does not support this, we are hesitant to cut ties to the country due to national interest of our country, balancing the relationships with international community. The other nations who are involved in various conflicts have good relations with Cambodia, as we have diplomatic relations with most other countries. As with China’s issues, we are in full support of them to an extent. If they are promoting any type of conflict we will not appreciate that as it goes against the national interest of cambodia, but besides that we will continue to support out acquaintance due to our strong ties. Cambodia has already conferred with other countries such as Vietnam, Laos,and Myanmar about cooperating on security by not letting any hostile forces and crime organizations to harm security and order in each country and actively contributing to their nation's’ economic development.
In order for all this to happen ,multiple finalizations will have to be reached. The countries who are acting super aggressive won't necessarily have to stop but will have to do it in a more reasonable fashion by not acting like there is not a major war approaching in the near future. Regarding the DPRK nuclear arms situation, while we don’t support it , we cannot stop them from furthering their development of their weaponry. If these certain parameters are reached then the East Asia region will be safe once again.
