Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long attends 2025 Conference of the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum

This year’s forum gathered nearly 2,000 delegates from about 120 countries, territories and international organizations.

Delegates discussed a wide range of issues, including strategies to address global public security risks and challenges in the new context, innovation and capacity-building in public security, technical cooperation, and the establishment of comprehensive coordination mechanisms.

The forum also featured thematic discussions on tourism security and international police education cooperation, and released key publications, such as the 2025 Annual Report of the Forum and the 2025 Global Public Security Index Report.

Notably, for the first time, the index introduced assessment criteria for artificial intelligence (AI) security, alongside traditional criteria for law and order, counter-terrorism, traffic safety and cybersecurity.

At the forum, the Vietnamese representative delivered a presentation titled “Joint Strategy: Addressing Global Security Challenges and Risks in the New Era”, proposing measures to strengthen political trust, promote multilateralism, expand international cooperation, and ensure substantive and effective information sharing.

These recommendations contributed to advancing common solutions to global security challenges for peace, stability and development worldwide.

On the sidelines of the event, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long held talks with Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force (China) Chow Yat-ming.

The two sides agreed to promote delegation exchanges and accelerate the completion of procedures for the signing of a Cooperation Agreement on Crime Prevention and Control to facilitate their joint efforts in tracking and apprehending criminals, particularly wanted fugitives.
