It is widely understood that permanent peace and co-prosperity is a common vision for all humans. If the post-war experience of Western Europe is any guide, this common vision can be achieved through multilateral cooperation and integration among both people and nations. While all countries in the Asia-Pacific region value hope for peace and prosperity, they lack an institutionalized mechanism for multilateral cooperation and integration to fulfill their aspirations. In this session, world leaders will discuss the importance of multilateralism, cooperation, and integration in Asia, followed by a discussion on how to lay the foundations for resilient peace.
