and military spending, in addition to geopolitical conflicts that have a direct
impact on the stability of the region. Even the increasing global geopolitical
tensions, the Asia Pacific region will solidify its position as a major player in

The stage
Asia Pacific will be the main driver of global growth and as a center of
economic growth, for the next decade. More than half the world's
population lives in this region, along with the accompanying dynamics.
From the aspect of the economy, the Asia Pacific region is a potential
market, distribution channels and crossings (silkroad / the Silk Road),
the concentration of natural resources and energy, and finance. For the
sea lanes in the region is the densest sea traffic (the maritime silkroad).
The ability of countries in the region out of the global financial crisis in
1998 and 2009, shows the durability and the potential benefits of these
countries.
Various alliances and pacts, both economic, military or both, established among countries of the
region, the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation), BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South
Africa), SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization), ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations),
AEC (ASEAN Economic Community), the FTAAP (Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific) and TPP (Trans-
Pacific Partnership).
Data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook, released 14 April 2016,
the GDP of the Asia-Pacific is estimated at 59.556 per cent of world GDP, equivalent to USD
46,370.280 billion figure of the global GDP of USD 77.825

Meanwhile, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), for the Asian region will contribute 2.3
per cent of global GDP growth is expected to average 4 percent, that is, the area will be able to
contribute to world GDP growth of nearly 60 percent per year.

The economic growth for the domestic impact on the increased capacity of the economy, state
revenues and expenditures of the people welfare state. As for the foreign aspect, can increase the
domination and influence of a country in the region, both economically and politically.
Increased state spending also resulted in increased military spending of a country. Apart from the
ongoing regional conflict, the military expenditure of a country will have an impact on increasing
awareness around the country, following an increase in its military budget as well. Giving the
impression of a surge in military spending in the region.
The dynamics that are happening in Asia Pacific made the Asia Pacific region as the most important
region in the world economy and the most complete on the military aspects, even for the next two
decades, Asia Pacific is the stage that has just started the show.

The center of world economic growth
Although it is expected to slow, but Asia Pacific will remain the center of global economic growth.
World Bank report shows that growth in East Asia and the Pacific will only be slowed down in 2016-
2018. The rate of growth in East Asia and Pacific region is expected to slow from 6.5 percent in 2015
to 6.3 percent in 2016 and 6.2 percent in 2017-2018.
This forecast reflects China's transition towards a more sustainable growth however slowed down.
Growth in China is estimated at 6.7 percent in 2016 and 6.5 percent in 2017, slower compared to 6.9
percent growth in 2015.
The World Bank’s data said that developing countries in East Asia and the Pacific continue to
contribute greatly to global growth. This area covers nearly two-fifths or 40 percent of world
economic growth in 2015, more than twice that of the whole region more development. This area is
helped by careful macroeconomic policies, including an attempt to increase domestic revenue in
some commodity exporting countries.
Great for Southeast Asia, growth prospects in the Philippines and Vietnam the most powerful, the
two countries are expected to grow more than 6 percent in 2015. Indonesia's economic growth is
estimated to reach 5.1 percent in 2016 and 5.3 percent in 2017, depending the success of the reform
package of policies and the implementation of an ambitious public investment program.

World Bank 2016
• East Asia and Pacific
Growth is estimated to have slowed to 6.4 percent in 2015, and is expected to decline to 6.3 on
average in 2016-2018, reflecting the gradual slowdown in China and sluggish recovery in the rest of
the region.
Growth is expected to be increased modestly in Indonesia and Malaysia in 2016-2018, due to the
political tension eased in Malaysia, and the implementation of reforms to spur investment growth in
Indonesia. In Thailand, growth is expected to remain weak, at 2 to 2.7 per cent in 2016-2018, as
political uncertainties continue to weigh on private investment, and high household debt limit
private consumption.

Among the large emerging economies of ASEAN, the growth in the Philippines and Vietnam will
benefit from the increase in household income caused by low of commodity prices, diverse and
competitive exports and strong investment. Risk comes from more negative than-expected
slowdown in China and the tightening of global financial conditions.
• South Asia
Acceleration of growth is projected at 7.5 percent in 2016-18, from 7.0 per cent in 2015, the fastest
pace among all developing regions. The decline in oil prices has increased the confidence of
investors and consumers, as well as domestic policy reforms in India and Pakistan that could reduce
vulnerability.
Domestic risks include stalling the reform process and political tensions in several countries in the
region. High levels of non-performing loans on bank balance sheets remains a challenge for financial
stability and the supply of credit to productive investment. External risks come from potential
volatility amid tightening global financial conditions and weaker remittances from the Council of the
Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC).
• The Middle East
Growth estimated to be 2.5 percent in 2015, unchanged from 2014. Among oil exporters, most of
the growth slowdown or even negative in 2015. However, an exception to Iraq, where oil production
has increased even while experiencing security problems. Oil exporters grapple with the economic
conditions as a consequence of low oil prices; and most oil importers have benefited a lot.
Despite lower oil prices, growth in the region will accelerate growth above 5 percent in 2016-2018. It
is based on the improvement and the strong recovery in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which
experienced the greatest economic development in the region. It is as a result of international
agreements to suspend or remove sanctions on trade and international financial transactions,
beginning in 2016, which is an important contributing factor to the economy of Iran.
The agreement was present to give a positive effect on neighboring countries import oil, but may
have negative effects on the development of oil exporters in the region if additional oil production
and exports put pressure on international oil prices. Risks arise from low oil prices and domestic
security protracted.
• Turkey
Economic activity in Turkey will benefit from lower energy prices on the world, but will face
headwinds from rising export demand (including the negative effects of sanctions Russia) and tight
external financing conditions. Regional growth is projected to strengthen to an average 3.0 percent
in 2016 and 3.5 percent in 2017-2018, partly helped by the ongoing European Region of recovery,
although there are some downside risks, including the possibility of escalation of geopolitical
tensions and continued recession in Russia and Ukraine.
While from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), in its annual report said, countries large economies
in Asia will grow over 6 percent this year and 2016. According to the Asian Development Outlook
2015, India is expected to overtake China in terms of economic growth, if Indian government
continues to work to eliminate structural barriers to boost investor confidence. India's economic
growth in 2016 could reach 8 percent, while China only touched 7 percent.

The main factors driving the growth of developing countries in Asia in 2015 and 2016 are the
reforms undertaken in many of these countries, the recovery in the major industrial countries like
the United States, Europe and Japan and falling commodity prices. All this will help economic growth
in Asia.

International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook (14-April-2016)
China's growth rate is expected to reach 7.2 percent in 2015 and 7.0 percent in 2016 is still
considered to be relatively healthy. Several reform measures are being run by the government will
have an impact on state-owned enterprises and the financial sector. Everything has the potential to
increase productivity.
But barriers will happen if some of these reforms are not done properly, or if growth in the US or
Europe is slowing down, or even if oil prices rise again at the level that is not expected.
ADB projected that Indonesia's economic growth reached 5.2 percent in 2016, higher than 4.8
percent in 2015. Then in 2017, economic growth in 2017 is predicted to reach 5.5 percent.
Indonesia's economic growth expected to rise again this year, as consumers and investors responded
positively to the Government's efforts to improve public investment and structural reforms.
Indonesia's economy is currently influenced by China. China's economic growth is likely to slow
down, to impact the rate of growth of the Indonesian economy. One per cent of China's economic
growth, then it will have an impact on economic growth of 0.11 per cent of Indonesia.

There are eight countries in the region which recorded growth above 7.0 percent, but the possibility
of rising oil prices and komoditaslainnya expected to be a constraint.

Economic growth and military spending
The rate of economic growth impact on increasing the strength of the defense and military spending,
in addition to geopolitical conflicts that have a direct impact on the stability of the region. Even the
increasing global geopolitical tensions, the Asia Pacific region will solidify its position as a major
player in military spending in 2020. The long process in military modernization will be the main
political agenda in a number of countries in the region.

are abundant and the conflict of the Korean peninsula as the main drivers of geopolitical tensions.
The data of The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said that global military
spending reached USD 1.67 trillion in 2015, this figure rose by 1 per cent from 2014.

United States continues to be ranked in the world's military spending, amounting to USD 596 billion,

Total military spending in the Asia Pacific region from SIPRI data is released April 2016, for the year
2015 reached USD 436 billion. The figure increased by 5.4 percent from 2014, and increased 64
percent when calculated in the decade starting in 2006.
For ASEAN, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, showed sizable increased in military spending in
2015. Conflict South China Sea and the Korean Peninsula is the reason for increased military budget.
The figure will continue to rise, and is expected to reach US$ 533 billion at the end of this decade in
2020, as predicted by the issuing company specialist British military base, IHS Jane's. In a report
released on Sunday (21/02/2016), the IHS Janes's also predicted that countries in the Asia Pacific
region will make effective use of defense funds in early 2020, increasing from the decade of 2010.
China is at the top in 2010 with the military spending of US$ 134 billion which is 40 percent of
defense spending Asia Pacific, while for the year 2015 military spending China increased to US$ 191
billion which is 43 percent of defense expenditures Asia Pacific, and China is expected to remain is in
the top position until 2020.
However, military spending is predicted to continue static Japan. Likewise, South Korea will not
pursue China's increased spending is soaring annually. Interestingly, in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, the
Philippines, and Vietnam will enter the list of 10 countries that experienced a rapid increase in 2015.
Indonesia's defense budget has increased, which is 12.46 percent and the Philippines by 20 percent,
in the period 2014 to 2015.
Asia emerged with good prospects for a more positive and stable. Military spending in the Asia
Pacific region is expected to grow from USD415.6 billion in 2014 to USD547.1 billion in 2020: more
than 30% of the global total. Asia Pacific seen increased spending from 21.6% in 2009 to 26% in 2014
driven by China, India, and resurgent growth in emerging markets in Southeast Asia. It is estimated
that by 2020 the combined defense spending in Asia Pacific will surpass the United States and more
than twice that of the European Union (EU).

FIGURE 3
IHS Jane's Defense Budgets
Economic expansion in Asia will continue to form the basis of further growth in military spending,
strategic issues will motivate increased investment in the defense sector in a number of countries.
Despite the gradual slowdown continued to occur in the economic performance of China, but Beijing
announced an increase in the defense budget in February 2014 at a nominal 12.2%, the largest
increase since 2011. The firm position of China in the region, triggering Japan's decision to increase
its defense budget in 2014 and 2015.
In July 2014, the allocation of the core defense budget of India for the year 2014-2015 was revised
upwards to INR2.29 trillion (USD38.8 billion) in the first budget of the new government of the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), providing further evidence that the new government intends
strengthen India's military and more specifically the acceleration of procurement activities.
While the growth in South Korea's defense budget fell to its lowest level for five years in 2014, while
for the budget in 2015, showed growth to 4.9%. Based on the current government projections,
South Korea will be surpassed Australia to become the fourth largest expenditure on defense in the
Asia Pacific region in 2015, behind China, Japan, and India.
Indonesia also emerged after getting out of a period of chronic underfunding and have seen the
defense budget expanded rapidly in the last five years. While the 2015 budget - increased by 14% in
nominal terms to IDR95 trillion (USD8.1 billion) although it remains open to revision by the new
government in Jakarta, Joko Widodo President reiterated the government's intention to improve
Indonesia's defense spending at 1.5% of GDP for five next year from 0.9% currently.

Shifting military force
US military stationed in more than 150 countries worldwide. Approximately 173,000 personnel from
a total of approximately 1.373 million, being active personnel who work outside the United States
and territory-territory. Most foreign personnel have deployed to conflict zones in the Middle East as
part of the War on Terror undergoing active fighting in Afghanistan. Most of the rest are placed in
installations that are activated during the Cold War with the Soviet Union after World War II.
The plan the United States would shift 60 percent of its military forces to the Asia Pacific region until
2020. A total of 200 US troops have arrived in Australia since April 2012 and as the first wave of
2,500 troops planned until the year 2017.
The placement of thousands of US troops in Darwin this indicates a shift in global strategy is very
significant. Most likely the US will use the remote Cocos Island as a US military base. The plan would
put the US military fighter aircraft manned and unmanned known as the Global Hawk.

The US and Australian government wants military cooperation the realization of a better future. The
US presence in the Asia Pacific region may increase stability in the region, also in order to establish
the existence of military bases along the equator in order to expand US military dominance in the
world.
Australia's military continues to follow the dynamics of the region and many have been government
with weapons purchases figure which increased 65 percent in the last five years. Most serious
project land of kangaroos it is buying 72 stealth fighter jet F-35 from the US for $ 12.4 billion.
In addition, Australia has ordered 12 units of new submarines with a value of 39 billion US dollars.
The defense contractor DCNS France won the tender competition from Japan and Germany on this
fantastic contract. The Australian government said, this contract is a contract of the largest and most
complex in the history of the country.
The Australian Government calls, ordered the submarine Barracuda is kind shortfin weighing 4,700
tons. This submarine has a powerful performance sensors and reconnaissance-specific
characteristics, but affordability and durability is maintained. Australia's submarine submarine
completes competition in Asia Pacific.

FIGURE 5

Reasons Australian naval fleet complement to the submarine because of the escalation of
geopolitical conflict in the Asia Pacific region is growing, along with the military capacity of the
countries in the region. A total of 12 countries in the region already have submarines and at least
eight countries want to buy a new or replacing the submarines. War defense strength is somewhat
due to economic growth.
The existence of a submarine is a vital requirement of the combat power of the sea. The submarine
is a significant bat in a sea battle. Fleets of a country not yet daunting without the submarine, but
the submarine without anti-aircraft capabilities, it will only be a 'sitting duck', just be lying in wait
discovered and destroyed.

United States and Russia also are citizens of the Asia-Pacific, even both have the Pacific Fleet, each
based in Hawaii and Vladivostok. Not only in the past, until now also powers Sea Fleet of the two
countries are still mutually reconnaissance and measure capabilities in the waters of the Asia Pacific

Currently for the US Pacific Fleet (United States Pacific Fleet / USPACFLT) can be referred to as 'naval
power most able, ready, and significant in the world'- and the power of being able to maintain
‘rebalance’ of Asia. This fleet is a theater-level component command of the Pacific Ocean from the
United States Navy which provides naval forces of the US Pacific Command. The fleet is
headquartered at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with a large secondary facilities in North

Pacific Fleet is part of the United States Pacific Command (United States Pacific Commando/
USPACOM) which is a joint combat command of the US armed forces led by the Commander of the
Pacific Command. Only the President of the United States as the Supreme Commander of the Armed
Forces and Minister of Defense who has a higher authority.
USPACOM is the command of the defense oldest and largest of the ten joint combat command in
the United States. Headquartered on the island of O'ahu in Honolulu, Hawaii, area surveillance
United States Pacific Command includes the west coast of the United States up to the western
border of India, and from Antarctica to the North Pole.
The main fighting force of the Pacific Command of the Army was formed from parts of the Pacific,
part of the Pacific Marine Forces, Pacific Fleet Navy and Air Force. All of these forces is
headquartered in Honolulu with additional force placed almost throughout the territory. A force of
about 300,000 military personnel from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, or the equivalent of
20 percent of all US active military forces.
These forces are divided into three categories: primary forces estimated at 100,000, based forward,
and a base in the US mainland. US Navy revealed that there are currently about 360,000 US
personnel in Asia Pacific, the figure is likely to be improved, including the addition of aircraft and
sophisticated weapons.

On the different parties, during the Cold War, Russia's move to address the presence of the US Navy
in the Pacific is very simple, namely: anti-access and area denial (A2 / AD). Russia has a strategy to
cripple the US Navy with a massive attack by the supersonic cruise missile from a variety of
platforms. Pacific Fleet Russia plays an important role, with the number of 800 ships, supported by
maritime aviation system remotely, attack submarines, and aircraft equipped with electronic
weapons.
Pacific Fleet, called Red Banner Pacific Fleet, in Soviet times was part of the Russian Navy stationed
in the Pacific Ocean, which was previously located on the far eastern border of the Soviet Union. The
headquarters is located in Vladivostok fleet and a number of fleet bases located in the region of
Vladivostok. Another important basic fleet in the Russian Far East region is Petropavlovsk-
Kamchatsky in Avacha Bay in the Kamchatka Peninsula, with a large submarine base in Vilyuchinsk
located in the same bay.
In Soviet times, the Pacific Fleet is also responsible for the administrative and operational direction
of the Navy and the Indian Ocean naval squadron of the Soviet Union as a technical support points
owned by the countries in the Indian Ocean region, as well as facilities on the island of Socotra.
Deterioration of Russian naval and maritime aviation of Russia after the Cold War ended in 1991
created a huge void in the Pacific, the US regain the Pacific region. However, in the world of
geopolitics, as a fading force, there are always other countries who are ready to take over the
position. Despite China's growing military power, Russia kept trying to restore military power in the
Pacific.

In 1991 through the mid-2000s, a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia lost much
of the Pacific Fleet unit, including all aircraft operators. Even at the beginning of 2000 there was only
one cruiser remained active in the fleet. But at the end of 2010, the Russian Pacific Fleet began to
rise, which consists of a large missile cruisers, five destroyers, ten nuclear submarines, and eight
electric-diesel submarines.

Nuclear power
Of all the countries in the world that have nuclear weapons (nuclear club) totaling 9 countries, as
many as 7 countries are among the countries of Asia-Pacific, and the only two countries of
continental Europe. In 2015, the world's entire nuclear arsenal was estimated at 15,850 pieces, and
as many as 15 338 pieces, or about 96.8 percent in the Asia Pacific. Of the total nuclear arsenal in
the world, as many as 1,800 in the standby state.
In the last five years, nuclear power in the Asia-Pacific showed an increase. China shows a slight
increase in the size of its nuclear arsenal. As for India and Pakistan, both countries are equally
expanding production capabilities of nuclear weapons and developing new missile delivery systems.
For North Korea seems to progress at a military nuclear program, but technical advances are difficult
to assess based on open sources.

China not only acquire missiles in Russia but also engineered the Russian cruise missile obtained
from Ukraine. Modifications China would be a major threat to the US Navy. China has a keen interest
in the Russian strategic weapons, whereas previously, strategic weapons Russia is not offered
padaChina. However, because the West continues to send sanctions against Russia, then Russia may
change direction and supply China with strategic weapons such as Backfire bombers and Akula
submarines, which were previously only supplied to India.
China has successfully developed ballistic missile capable antikapal attack ships were moving at sea.
With the help of Russia, is not impossible that the missile would carry a nuclear warhead. A fact, that
no warship West-either already exist or are still a plan that is able to stop the supersonic cruise
missile Raduga Kh-22 (NATO nickname: AS-4 Kitchen) or a smaller version, KSR-5. In fact, in the
1980s, maritime aviation Russia is very confident about the accuracy of the missile, air until Russia as
Backfire only transport one piece Kh-22 armed with nuclear warheads.
Previously, the United States ahead of Russia in terms of technology and the number of
intercontinental nuclear missiles. However, in the early 1970s when the SS-18 began to ready for use
in large quantities, Russia catch up and move Russia began unstoppable. In 1990, Russia has
approximately 40,000 stock of nuclear warheads, and the United States only has 28,000 pieces. Only
by using the 3,000 warhead SS-18, Russia can destroy all the humans in the continental United
States in just 30 minutes.

France only deploys submarine-launched ICBMs, with all land based IRBMs decommissioned.
France’s nuclear arsenal consists of approximately 300 warheads for delivery by submarine-launched
ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and air-launched cruise missile. President François Hollande stated in February
2015 that the stockpile included 300 warheads for 48 SLBMs and 54 cruise missiles.
Four Triomphant class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) form the backbone of France’s
nuclear deterrent, complemented by nuclear-capable land- and sea-based combat aircraft.
5 UNITED KINGDOM
The United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent consists exclusively of a sea-based component: Vanguard class
Trident nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) armed with the UGM-133 Trident II D5
submarine- launched ballistic missile (SLBM) and associated warheads, and their support infrastructure.
The UK possesses an arsenal of about 150 operational nuclear warheads that are available for use by a fleet
of four Trident SSBNs stationed at the Faslane Naval Base in western Scotland. The UK does not own the
missiles, but leases them from a pool of 58 Trident SLBMs shared with the United States Navy. The UK has
joined a US programme to extend the service life of the Trident II D5 missile from 2028 until 2042.

7 PAKISTAN
Pakistan is estimated to possess about 100–120 nuclear weapons for delivery by aircraft and land-based
missiles. It is widely believed that, in peacetime, Pakistan stores its nuclear warheads separate from their
delivery vehicles. However, the Strategic Plans Division (SPD), which operates Pakistan’s nuclear forces, has
never confirmed such arrangements.

In 50 years after it was first deployed, the SS-18 remains ready for use. Russia strategic missile
arsenal will increase by 400 new missiles in the next ten years, even the SS-18 are likely to endure
until the period of late 2040 after the upgrade. Most of the shooting of successful trials over the past
decade, and other quality control tests also showed positive results. Budget and qualified personnel
remain deployed for the development of missile arsenal, which is the last defense of Russia.
Furthermore, START II aims at eliminating all missiles SS-18, but the agreement was not enforced so
that these missiles remains active. From the standpoint of Russia, delays are clearly beneficial. But
with the deteriorating relations with the US Russia after NATO expands to near the border of Russia,
then Russia decided to set up a weapons superclass.

Intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missiles
1 The U.S. Navy
currently has 18 Ohio-class submarines deployed, of which 14 are designated SSBNs and armed with 24
Trident II SLBMs each, for a total of 288 Trident II missiles equipped with 1,152 MIRV nuclear warheads.
2 The Russian Navy
currently has 12 SSBNs deployed, including 4 Delta III class submarines, 7 Delta IV class submarines and 1
Typhoon class submarine. Missiles include R-29R SLBMs and R-29RMU Sineva/R-29RMU2 SLBMs with
MIRV warheads for a total of 181 missiles equipped with 639 nuclear warheads. The Borei class SSBNs and
Bulava SLBMs are under development.
3 The United Kingdom's Royal Navy
has four Vanguard class SSBNs, each armed with 16 Trident II SLBMs with MIRV warheads for a total of 64
Trident II missiles and 225 nuclear warheads.
4 The French Navy
has four Triomphant class SSBNs each armed with 16 M45s SLBMs with TN75 MIRV nuclear warheads. The

M45 SLBMs are scheduled to be upgraded to M51.1 and M51.2 (expected to enter service in 2015).
5 The People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army Navy
has five Type 094 SSBNs each to be armed with 12-16 JL-2 SLBMs.
6 The Indian Navy
in 2015 that India has a submarine launch ballistic missiles based on some variants of the Agni series, the K
Missile family which will be a series of submarine-launched solid fueled missiles. K-5 missile, with a maximum
range of 6,000 kilometers and a payload of one tonne, developed by DRDO which may be the SLBM version
of AGNI-VI (ICBM). A variant of the K-4 missile is also under developed, with a range of 5,000 km and is
intended to arm the future, larger nuclear submarines of the Indian Navy. India, having completed the
development of its first ballistic missile submarine INS Arihant, is reported to be developing at least three more
submarines in the Arihant class i.e. total 4 SSBN.
Longterm strategic stability
Economic growth impact on improving defense and military spending needs of a country. Modern
military is part of a country's economic, military capacity following the economic capacity of a
country. Although no specific exemption for the state of North Korea. Economic growth and rising
military capacity of a country will certainly have an impact on the economy and the escalation of
geopolitical conflict region. It takes the mental maturity and readiness program in the alignment of
economic growth and an increase in the military strength of a country, to focus without ignoring
regional stability.
Nuclear capability Asia-Pacific countries are growing, both ICBMs and SLBMs, as demonstrated
capacity and regional superiority. Stability in the region is certainly in need of re-handling and
communication as well as the situation of the cold war several decades ago.
Increased military power, including nuclear power in this case, is a necessity that can not be avoided
with the increase in economic growth in the Asia Pacific region. But still have to find ways to limit
and manage them, and make sure that the terrifying weapons strengthen rather than undermine
peace and stability in the region.
Asia Pacific is preparing for a situation that will heat up before it turns into a better and stable. Of
course it remains to be offset by confidence-building measures, maritime security dialogue and
strategic stability of the countries of the Asia Pacific region. The move is expected to solve the
fundamental problem. Seeing the escalation of geopolitical, stakeholders towards strategic stability
in the Asia Pacific region can only hope that the program of military force arrayed in a mature region
as soon as possible.
