The Asian Security Conference, which was held in Singapore on May 4, concluded on May <> as a meeting of defense ministers from Asia, Europe and the United States, to discuss regional security issues.
Although there was interest in direct dialogue between the defense ministers of the United States and China, which is deepening the confrontation, it did not materialize, and the challenge is how to resume dialogue in the future.

The Asian Security Conference held in Singapore concluded on the 3th after a three-day schedule.

At the meeting, the United States and China, which are deepening their confrontation, held meetings with countries mainly in Asia, including Japan, and developed their respective claims regarding the situation in the South China Sea and Taiwan.

This time, there was interest in a direct dialogue between U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu, but according to the Chinese side, the meeting did not materialize, after only a brief exchange of words at the dinner meeting on the first day.

Since the U.S. shot down a Chinese balloon in February, the gap between the two sides has not been bridged, and the challenge is how to resume dialogue in the future.

In addition, the situation in Ukraine was also taken up as a major agenda item at the meeting, and Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov held successive meetings with Japan, the United States, Singapore, and other Asian countries to explain Ukraine's position and ask for support, but he only exchanged greetings with China, which has close relations with Russia, and did not hold a meeting.

Ministers from European countries also attended the Asian Security Conference, demonstrating the high level of interest in the Asia-Pacific region, where the security environment is changing significantly.
