The Forum theme "pursuing common security: peace, mutual trust and responsibility". Situation in the South China Sea as an important part of the Asia-Pacific regional security by participating experts and scholars concerned. Participants generally agreed that security needs in the region in Nanhai district national dialogue to resolve the external forces "excessive" intervention would only make the situation more complicated.

Around the Islands and issues such as resource extraction, in the South China Sea continued to heat up. Dean Wu Shicun analysis refers to the South China Sea, the current situation in the South China Sea are growing ever more complex, but overall manageable. There are three main factors that hinder the cooperation around the South China Sea countries: firstly, unilateral actions by some countries, destroying the basis for cooperation. Wu Shicun believes that in 2002 signed the Declaration on the conduct of parties in the South China Sea emphasized the increasing willingness to cooperate with the countries concerned, but now some countries reduced willingness to cooperate. Unilateral action only if the countries concerned, the basis for mutual cooperation.

Second, so-called justice into certain countries solve the issue of choice. Few days ago Viet Nam reports, Viet Nam wishes to follow the example of the Philippines to the International Court of arbitration proceedings. Wu Shicun noted that "judicial" has become a feature of the settlement of the South China Sea dispute. But the issue is not simply adopted the United Nations Convention on the law of the mechanisms to resolve, as some countries persists, can only complicate the situation, to really make substantive cooperation between the countries is more difficult.

Third, the consultations fall in consciousness. Wu Shicun believes that of the Declaration on the conduct of parties in the South China Sea between the parties does not become obsolete, but some sense of national consultations are on the decline. "The ' South China Sea code of conduct ' is a long process of consultation, should now do is to create a favorable atmosphere for the external environment, rather than destroy the atmosphere. ”

Malaysia, Director of the International Institute for strategic JawharMohamed believes that South China Sea region and the entire Southeast Asian region currently has a very sophisticated joint security cooperation mechanism, such as the Declaration on the conduct of parties in the South China Sea, East Asia Summit and ASEAN Foreign Ministers ' meeting. These are all important multilateral institutions. Currently being focused on institution building, less exclusion of military confrontation and South China Sea issues still need to be addressed through effective bilateral and multilateral mechanisms.

JawharMohamed also pointed out that the South China Sea rests on States in the region to solve, intervention from external forces. Talking about United States held a joint military exercise with the Philippines and other issues, he said that United States are becoming increasingly active in the South China Sea recently, but says he does not stand on this issue, since it doesn't position, there is no need for military exercises.

Indonesia Ambassador to Myanmar and RahardjoSoegeng, Director of the International Institute for strategic NyuntMaungShein and other participants are also to mutual agreement between the countries of the region should deal with regional issues agreed with this view. They said the involvement by outside forces in regional issues can play a role, but the "degree" is important, such as "excessive" intervention would only make this control more difficult to solve problems without help.
