SINGAPORE - While multilateralism remains relevant today, it can no longer be taken for granted, with an increasing tendency from some to push back against it, said Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How on Monday .
In the audience were about 100 delegates from more than 25 countries, including senior defence officials and high-ranking military officers. Since 1945, the world has seen an unprecedented surge of multilateral institutions and systems, such as the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the Non-Aligned Movement, he said.
"They view these common rules and norms of multilateral institutions as inconvenient or archaic, perhaps even inimical to their interests." Among the benefits multilateralism has brought is economic prosperity, with many regional countries benefiting with the progressive liberalisation of trade, said Mr Heng.
