28:31Now PlayingConsidered Asia's premiere security and defense summit, the Shangri-La Dialogue begins this weekend in Singapore at a time of extreme geopolitical instability. Asian countries have been deeply impacted by the war in the Middle East. Will US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who will deliver the opening speech, convince the region that the US "pivot to Asia" endures, despite the Iran conflict? How are Southeast Asian countries in particular faring during this difficult time? And what about the ever constant China threat to Taiwan? DW takes a closer look with our Chief International Editor Richard Walker and Asia Pacific Bureau Chief Georg Matthes, both on-site at the summit.
