French President Macron, speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, urged European and Asian nations to unite against the "spheres of coercion" pursued by China and Russia. He highlighted concerns about China's actions in the South China Sea and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, emphasizing the need for a united front to prevent further aggression. Macron stressed the importance of cooperation between Europe and Asia, independent of US-China dynamics, while acknowledging regional anxieties about both superpowers' approaches. The conference also addresses other regional conflicts, including the situations in Myanmar, Thailand-Cambodia border, and Kashmir.
