East Asian Nations Met for Security Dialogue Regional defense officials met last week at the three-day Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, who delivered the keynote speech, promoted Japan as a counterbalance to China and pushed for a greater role in Asian security. Abe also explained Japans reasons for reviewing legal constraints imposed by its pacifist constitution amid the changing security landscape, which has seen sharply escalating tensions in the South and East China Seas. US defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, also attended the event. Meanwhile, the US Air Force deployed two advanced surveillance drones to a base in northern Japan in a bid to enhance its ability to monitor Chinese naval operations and nuclear activities in North Korea.
