Editor's Note:
Today's world is more complex than it used to be, it's thus not easy to achieve lasting peace, Choi Shing Kwok (Choi), director and CEO of Singapore-based research center ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute, former permanent secretary at Singapore's Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, told Global Times (GT) reporter Li Aixin in an interview during the 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum.

"There are many problems that can only be resolved once the US and China work together," Choi said, while expressing that hopefully, broad-minded people can prevail in future US elections to set the stage for the relationship to stabilize and improve.

GT: What impressed you the most during the 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, and how do you view China's role in future global security governance?  

Choi:The theme for the forum is common security and lasting peace.

Lasting peace is a highly aspirational goal
