Hey there! 🌟 Have you heard about the big meeting happening in Singapore? It’s called the Shangri-La Dialogue 2025, and it’s a super important gathering where leaders from all over the world come together to talk about peace and security! 🕊️
This year, representatives from 47 countries are attending. That includes 40 ministers (which are like top government leaders), 20 chiefs of defense forces (the people in charge of the military), and lots of other important officials and smart thinkers! 🧠
One exciting thing is that a delegation from the National Defense University of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is there to share ideas and learn from others. 🤝
The President of France gave a big speech on Friday night. He talked about how Europe and Asia need to work together to keep the world peaceful and happy. 🌍❤️
On Saturday, the U.S. Defense Secretary is going to talk about America’s plans for peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region. That’s the big area of the world that includes countries like Japan, Australia, and many others! 🌊
Also, the Prime Minister of Malaysia will speak about how Malaysia can help lead the way to a better future, especially since they are the current chair of ASEAN (a group of Southeast Asian countries). 🚀
A senior representative from the European Union is also scheduled to share their thoughts. They’ll probably talk about how Europe can work with Asia to solve big problems. 🌐
Experts think that some of the main topics will be about countries working together, what the U.S. is doing about security, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. They’ll also discuss how things like trade tariffs (which are taxes on goods from other countries) affect everyone. 📈
This important event lasts until Sunday. It’s all about making the world a safer and better place for everyone, including you! 😊
