“Amid the current regional environment with visible strains, we appreciate the central role of ASEAN-led forums, including ADMM Plus in promoting dialogue and engagement towards a pluralistic, cooperative security order in Asia,” Singh stated.
“The ADMM Plus has grown in the last decade to become the fulcrum of peace, stability and rules-based order in this region. The concepts of ‘vasudhaive kutumbakam’ – ‘the whole world is one family ‘sarve bhavantu sukhinah’, all be at peace’ are the core of the Indian civilization,” the Defence Minister added.
