Germany sent a high-level delegation to the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, signaling its growing engagement in Asia-Pacific security. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared America’s commitment to a “stable equilibrium” in the region, rejecting any single power—especially China—from dominating. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s President To Lam emphasized cooperation and adherence to international rules as vital for managing global risks. The event, packed with top leaders from across Asia and the West, underscored the fragile yet critical balance needed to maintain peace and security in the region.
