| 中國軍方代表向巴育提問有關東盟的問題。 |
20. Fourth, promoting cooperation between major powers. The region’s key players should find ways to cooperate to build greater equilibrium. This not only benefits them, but also benefits the countries in the region as a whole. And this will support our efforts to create a truly equitable world.
21. Fifth, countries in the region should think of sovereignty in less traditional terms in order to support collective security in the long term. Countries will of course continue to place importance on their defence policies. The examples of the founding of ASEAN, which was founded 49 years ago, and the establishment of international organizations across the globe clearly show that there are better choices. The choice of promoting mutual security, mutual benefits, and respect for the rule of law and international law. This, in my opinion, is the way forward for true security in the future, rather than increasing conflicts.
22. Sixth, promoting development in tandem with security. Security is the foundation for building economic, social and cultural prosperity. But on the other hand, challenges to human security could also affect national and regional security. Thailand therefore places importance on addressing the root causes and focusing on development from within. The Thai Government has laid down a secure and sustainable foundations, whether in terms of politics, economics and society, and initiated the “Pracharat 4Ps” policy (Public-Private-People Partnership) so that all sectors of society are involved in the country’s development. In all this, we are guided by His Majesty the King’s Sufficiency Economy Philosophy, which is based on His Majesty’s development experiences accumulated over the course of 40 years and which places the people at the core. This year, in fact, is the 10th anniversary of His Majesty’s being awarded the “UNDP Human Development Lifetime Achievement Award,” in 2006, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, which is in line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Agenda.
23. As Thailand is chair of the Group of 77 in New York City for the year 2016, my proposal to this meeting and that of the Thai Government are not only for the benefit of Thailand alone, but they also support efforts to decrease the disparity between countries in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations. Most importantly, it is a way to address problems through development cooperation, finding the potential of every country and facilitating collaboration, without leaving any country behind. It will also support ASEAN cooperation and cooperation with other communities so that we can stand dignified on the international stage.
