This conference aimed to look at ways to improve good order at sea by first examining the challenges and the different priorities that regional countries place on maritime affairs. By acknowledging these interests, we will be able to examine areas of collaboration and cooperation that could be feasible. Hopefully we were able address the interests of most states and not undermine the core interests of any particular state. Of course, not all states shared the same interests, and mapping these individual interests and priorities can also facilitate bilateral cooperation as long as it doesn’t undermine the collective interest of the group.
