The South Asia and Southeast Asia International Security Alliance (hereinafter referred to as "the Alliance") is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to jointly addressing security threats and challenges faced by the region. It aims to leverage Yunnan's geographical advantage as China's gateway and bridge to South Asia and Southeast Asia, promote the construction of Kunming Central Legal Affairs Zone, vigorously strengthen foreign-related rule of law construction facing South Asia and Southeast Asia, and give full play to the overall advantages of the security service industry by strengthening exchanges and cooperation among Alliance members.

I. Background of Establishment

With the deepening development of globalization and the further strengthening of international cooperation mechanisms, especially with the advancement of China's "Belt and Road" Initiative and the signing of the RCEP agreement, exchanges and cooperation between China and South Asian and Southeast Asian countries have continuously strengthened, with increasing project investments, goods and service trade, personnel exchanges, and cooperation mechanisms between them. However, the current global security situation is complex and volatile. The world faces multiple crises such as geopolitical conflicts, bloc confrontations, and high inflation. Terrorism is rampant, and security incidents threatening personal and property safety occur frequently. Various security issues are becoming increasingly severe, and security governance can only be achieved through the concerted efforts of relevant countries, especially all nations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to build a system backed by the state, relying on the industry, and with professional institutions as the core

II. Significance

The establishment of the Alliance can effectively promote economic, trade, and cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and the South Asian and Southeast Asian regions, ensuring the safety of investments, trade, property, institutions, and personnel among countries and regions within this area. It will provide security measures and guarantees to market entities, coordinate and guide security services, improve the level and quality of security services, enhance communication between the security industry and government departments and practitioners of various countries, forming a "government-civilian combined, tiered response" model for protecting the legitimate interests of enterprises and personnel across borders. This will facilitate the construction of a closer security cooperation network among various government departments, relevant enterprises, information and crisis management companies, insurance companies, and security companies, continuously improving the regional security service guarantee system, jointly addressing non-traditional security threats and challenges such as terrorism and extremist forces, and providing strong assistance for regional security and stability.
