PRESIDENT Xi Jinping called for a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security strategy for Asia in the keynote speech at the 4th Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia  in Shanghai yesterday.

Asia is at a crucial stage in security cooperation, he said. With 67 percent of the world’s population and a third of the global economy, the region needs to build on past achievements and strive for new progress.

One cannot live in the 21st century with the outdated thinking of Cold War and zero-sum games, Xi said.
