Pessimism was diungkapkanya with reference to a number of unresolved conflict, the conflict on the Korean Peninsula, the South China Sea, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Syria, and many more.
"All conflicts that could potentially explode into open conflict. Amid this warm peace, hatred and fanaticism, intolerance and extremism also continue to poison the world," the president said.
He said one of the biggest challenges for a warm peace is how to accommodate the emergence of new powers in the international system of the 21st Century.
