Building a peace that requires cooperation between nations is the main content of the speech of Mr. Christian Schmidt (Parliamentary State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of the Federal Republic of Germany) to students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities on June 6, 2012.Mr. Christian Schmidt said: security threats today are no longer a problem of each country, for example, the risks of terrorism, widespread organized crime... A single country cannot cope with and overcome these problems but requires close cooperation between many countries and regions around the world. Based on the awareness that security issues have deep roots in economic, social, cultural and environmental issues, Mr. Christian Schmidt said: it is necessary to pursue an interwoven security policy, armed activities are just one measure alongside many other measures: diplomacy, economic cooperation, regional cooperation..., only then can terrorism, crime, conflicts be solved at the root... Sharing the experiences of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union, the speaker also emphasized the need for peace, cooperation and multilateralism in solving regional and world security issues. To thoroughly resolve the risks of instability, the world needs to "care" to build a peaceful foundation, starting with cooperation on the basis of harmonizing interests between countries. The Minister of State also mentioned the declaration on establishing a strategic partnership signed between the Prime Ministers of Vietnam and the Federal Republic of Germany in 2011, with the contents of strategic cooperation in politics, trade and economy, justice and law, culture and education, communication and environmental protection. On that basis, the two countries' Defense Ministries can deploy cooperation in the field of security.
