He said that the world is facing multiple challenges such as nuclear threats, climate crises, and artificial intelligence risks, and the international community is more divided than ever in the past 75 years. The current form of global governance is deepening divisions and fueling discontent, and the international community needs to seek fair solutions with a new sense of urgency and solidarity to establish a "global order that benefits everyone.". In his speech, the Chairman of the Muan Association, Christopher Hoisgen, said that the Muan Association hopes to provide a platform to promote peace through dialogue.

On the 12th, the organizers of the Munich Security Council released the "2024 Munich Security Report", focusing on the increasingly escalating geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty around the world. The report believes that the optimism about peace, stability, and economic development in the post Cold War era has dissipated, and the world is at risk of falling into a "double loss" situation. The Munich Security Conference was founded in 1963, formerly known as the International Defense Conference with a focus on transatlantic partnerships. It has now developed into one of the important annual forums in the field of international strategy and security. (Lai Xin She)
