- Saturday, May 28, 2005
Northeast Asia holds enormous potential for both dispute and development.

- Saturday, May 28, 2005
The Helsinki process, culminating in the Helsinki Act, had led to the European détente, followed by the transformation of the bipolar system of international relations into the multi-polar (or post-bipolar) one.

It could also result in the creation of a multilateral system of security and cooperation in Northeast Asia.
