A CSIS Statesmen's Forum with Teo Chee Hean, the Minister of Defense of Singapore, was quoted by Defense News, "China, India Taking Lead in Emerging Asia Security Architecture."
China and India’s growing economic and military strength are driving profound changes in the region, said Singapore Defense Minister Teo Chee Hean in a speech given at the Statesmen’s Forum organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies on Jan. 15 in Washington.
“The new economic realities in the region will have long-term strategic and security implications. China and India will naturally seek to secure their interests, and their growing economic might allows them to progressively develop the military capabilities and diplomatic influence necessary to do so,” said Teo.
