00:00In 1982, we led our global community in unanimously adopting the Manila Declaration on the Peaceful

00:07Settlement of Disputes.

00:09This affirmed that differences amongst nations must always be solved peacefully through legal

00:15and diplomatic processes, never through the threat or the use of force.

00:21Today, these norms are under significant stress.

00:25The world is facing a watershed moment.

00:28In our region, recent patterns of aggression and militarization and emerging arms races

00:33threaten our lands and promise with an uncertain future.

00:38In the midst of these significant shifts, I see seven realities in the Indo-Pacific.

00:43First, the future of our region will be determined by many nations, each with its own unique

00:51experiences and aspirations.

00:53Yet their respective agencies are being challenged by attempts to undermine our faith in prevailing

01:00international norms.

01:02Second, the strategic competition between China and the United States is permeating

01:07the evolving regional landscape.

01:09This rivalry is constraining the strategic choices of regional states.

01:15This contest is exacerbating flashpoints and has created new security dilemmas.

01:21Third, the region looks to ASEAN as the institution that will hold the center amidst these evolving

01:29dynamics.

01:30Yet challenges threaten our unity and our centrality.

01:36Fourth, as geopolitics continues to permeate the global governance infrastructure, the

01:42role of bridge builders have become increasingly important to forge decisive multilateral solutions.

01:50Fifth, the global commons will continue to be crucial to the security of all states in

01:56the region.

01:58Access of developing countries to the high seas and to outer space and the peaceful uses

02:03of science and technologies is crucial to international development.

02:08Sixth, climate change remains a deadly challenge for the region and for the world.

02:14It is the first truly global threat, and for the first time, we face a crisis that the

02:20affects every single human being on Earth and requires action from every single human

02:27being as well.

02:29And finally, the development of advanced technologies is rapidly transforming human life and experience.

02:36These technologies will solve many of our old problems, but they are so powerful that

02:40they also have the potential to disrupt our political and our social orders.

02:47These seven realities model the waters that we have to navigate in our collective journey

02:52as a community of nations.

02:54We cannot reverse course.

02:56We must persevere.

02:58We must push through.
