Speaking at the Manama Dialogue in Bahrain on Sunday, Mr Teo said the changed security landscape would require a more inclusive international community, leveraging on new modes of inter—regional dialogue and co—operation to address common challenges. He suggested that one such platform could be the Asia—Middle East Dialogue which could help countries devise appropriate political and economic models to bring progress and development to both regions. Secondly, he said with the complex nature of security challenges this century, multi—dimensional solutions would be needed. These would address not just security concerns but underlying issues of economic development, governance, cultural and historical realities. Thirdly, he said flexible and speedy responses were needed from both the international and regional community to address security challenges, or any hesitation could sometimes result in catastrophic consequences. Mr Teo was speaking at a plenary session on the role of the international community in regional security alongside fellow panellists which included Russia’s foreign affairs committee chairman, Turkey’s defence minister and Yemen’s vice foreign minister. This is Mr Teo’s first time speaking at the Manama Dialogue which brings together the national security establishments of participating states from the region and beyond to exchange views on regional security challenges. Countries represented at this year’s dialogue include the Gulf Cooperation Council members — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey and Yemen, as well as extra—regional countries such as Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Pakistan, Russia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. While in Bahrain, Mr Teo also called on Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Bahrain Defence Force Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al—Khalifa and Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al—Khalifa. He will also hold bilateral discussions with Minister of State for Defence Affairs Shaikh Dr Mohammad bin Abdullah Al—Khalifa and Minister of Cabinet Affairs Shaikh Ahmed bin Atiyatullah Al—Khalifa. — CNA/vm Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article Average (0 votes) Sign in to recommend this article » Most Recommended Stories » Related Articles: Singapore Defence Minister Teo outlines strategies for dealing with security challengesChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 60 parents turn up for second parental matchmaking sessionChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 Number of litter bugs issued CWO up nine—fold in past two yearsChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 PM Lee in Doha to sign milestone FTA between S’pore and GCC countriesChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 Tampines flea market helps homemakers and the needy earn incomeChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 Enlarge Photo Defence Minister Teo outlines strategies for dealing with security challenges Most Popular – Singapore Viewed Actress Jennifer Aniston appears naked in GQ magazine US carmakers mull options as White House vows aid Fortis bank, saved from collapse, again on shaky ground Queen Elizabeth II reins in extravagance as credit crunch grips Russia crowned Miss World 2008 in African event View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular
