There is a danger that territorial disputes in this zone, where economic interests may be significant, could make it a theatre of major conflicts between countries wishing to protect - including militarily - what they see as their national interests.
Šajā zonā, kurā ir svarīgas ekonomiskās intereses, teritoriālās nesaskaņas draud pārvērsties nopietnos konfliktos starp valstīm, kas vēlas, tostarp militārā ceļā, aizsargāt savas, viņuprāt, valsts intereses.
