ISIS: An International Threat That Requires An International Response

It's an international threat. No country can deal with it alone. Neither can you wish it away by keeping silent.

Mr Lee Hsien Loong, speaking at a Group of 20 (G20) working dinner on the global challenges of terrorism and the refugee crisis on Sunday night, said:

“Terrorists cross borders freely, and therefore, no country can defeat this international threat alone. Each country must do its part domestically, but countries also have to work together internationally. The fight belongs to all of us and we have to be willing to step up and stand up in solidarity with each other against the terrorists. We cannot avoid this problem, much less solve it by hiding or by keeping silent, hoping that the scourge will pass us by, on the other side.”
