The delegation of Mexico believes increased security cooperation in East Asia would help solve the numerous problems between these countries. All of these East Asian countries have been hotbeds for regional security competition over the past 150 years. These competitions for wanting to be the best there is, overall hurts the economy and safety of civilians everywhere. The tensions from the Korean War, Cold War, and World War Two are starting to come to extreme points. These countries that’s against one another are growing more and more the longer we as the UN wait to find a solution. A solution for these issues needs to be decided on promptly. Though Mexico does not have a huge involvement with the East Asian conflicts, our close alliance with the United States causes us to believe that these security tensions need to be handled. These tensions have gone too far. With this current world being ever so open and expanded through us all, we find it is becoming harder and harder as years pass not to be affected by a conflicts in East Asia, even if they are half way across the world. With our lack of involvement in the conflicts we believe the greatest solution to these tensions would be limiting the amount of power each country is gaining. Also we believe that there needs to be limitations on China's political and international power, so they donate overall become a monopoly country. With the current South China Sea conflicts, military forces might need to be enforced on China to try and conceal their building of new islands. As a delegation, we stand by the United States and believe their actions and decisions are justified. Overall, Mexico wants to keep the peace between everyone. Stability between all of us is key in order for us to have a well-functioning world.
