Speaking to regional journalists in Singapore, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink said the summit was instead an opportunity for a “select number” of the world’s democracies to exchange views on how such societies could better deliver benefits to citizens and promote democracy. “This is not designed to be a forum in which we sit in judgment of other countries,” Kritenbrink said, responding to a question on why Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam were among the regional countries omitted from the December 9-10 event.
我们的大会不是用来审判没被邀请的国家的。。。。LOL
