Prof. Dr. Hasjim Djalal, Director, Centre for South-East Asian Studies, Indonesia "...In conclusion, after many years of managing potential conflicts in the SCS, now the spirit of cooperation has emerged in the area. There has been no eruption of conflicts or armed conflicts since 1988. In fact, the friendly relations between China and the Southeast Asian Countries have developed considerably. Yet, the prospects for conflicts in the SCS continue to exist in the future if the countries concerned do not persist in managing them carefully. Therefore, the informal efforts to manage potential conflicts in the South China Sea should continue, while the formal efforts by the countries concerned to settle bilateral issues should also be encouraged. It is expected that counties concerned should not take action that may complicate the issues."
