ASEAN-China Relations: Key Junctures for Singapore as Country Coordinator
In this commentary, NTU RSIS Regional Security Architecture Programme, Associate Research Fellow Shawn Ho said that as the country coordinator of ASEAN-China dialogue relations for three years till mid-2018, Singapore is well placed as a non-claimant state to the South China Sea disputes to help reduce tensions and expedite realisation of the proposed Code of Conduct (COC). Singapore could make important contributions to the building of consensus among the parties involved at three critical junctures this year, with the ultimate goal of formulating the proposed COC in the South China Sea.
