We are not pro- or anti- China, US. We are pro-ASEAN: Chan Chun Sing

Singapore Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing hopes that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is not against or for China and the United States, but that it is “pro-ASEAN”. “The world has enough troubles. If ASEAN just stays out of trouble, we will distinguish ourselves,” he said during a plenary session at Shangri-La Dialogue 2026 on Sunday (May 31). Mr Chan also concluded the session with a Chinese saying on the importance of action and communication. #sgnews #singapore Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
