Summary

Machine summary

The PAP and Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security mobile police force will conduct 'Cooperation 2026' joint counter-terrorism training in Hanoi in early-to-mid November, covering EOD, tactical road march, and high-rise breaching and clearing. This is the second iteration of the series, documenting an incremental institutionalization of PAP-led bilateral counter-terrorism engagement with Vietnam — a neighbor with whom China maintains a complicated territorial relationship in the South China Sea. The framing around 'violent and terrorist crimes' fits the PAP's standard justification for external engagement but leaves the specific units, participant numbers, and command arrangements unreported.
