During the opening ceremony, Dr Ng highlighted the importance of maritime trade to Asia, and the need to maintain open sea lines of communication. He said, “The seas around us are strategic and will remain so far into the future.” He added that “these sea lines of communication, or SLOCs, must remain open and stable for all to use – SLOCs are the global commons which we and all other stakeholders must collectively protect and preserve. Integral to these collective efforts is dialogue and cooperation, supported by the institutionalisation and acceptance of a rules-based order by all countries.”
