美國國防部長赫格塞斯28日提議,建立1個「雄心勃勃」的新美國與東南亞國家協會(ASEAN)防務合作架構,並主張此舉將有助於各國因應未來幾年「至關重要」的局勢。
根據《法新社》報導,赫格塞斯在菲律賓宿霧(Cebu)與東協各國國防部長會面前發表談話,讚揚東南亞地區的「務實精神」與「引以為傲的民族主義」。赫格塞斯說「我們不可能在所有事情上都達成共識,也沒有必要如此,我們應該在共同利益重疊之處展開合作。展望這地區的未來,我希望我們能採取更有雄心的做法。我提議共同合作,制定1套美國與東協防務合作架構。」
赫格塞斯表示,合作架構將是1套務實的架構,為美國與東協各國未來幾年的合作提供指引。赫格塞斯補充,接下來的幾年將是至關重要的時期。
赫格塞斯聲稱,隨著新加坡將於明年接任東協擴大防長會議(ADMM-Plus)的主席國,美國已準備好啟動這項計畫。該會議不僅包括東協11個成員國,還包括來自美國、日本、中國、澳洲的代表。
赫格塞斯也呼籲強化「海域態勢感知能力」,並進一步深化各國海軍之間的合作。赫格賽斯稱「這些不是象徵性的舉措,而是具體展現嚴肅認真的夥伴應有的作為。真正認真的夥伴會共同訓練、共同學習、共同規劃,並建立必要的信任與能力,以防止衝突發生。」
