China News Service, Beijing, October 15 (Reporter Li Chun) "During the forum, all parties discussed some practical cooperation and promoted the implementation of some projects." Peng Jijun, Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee of the "Great Wall-2026" International Forum on Counter-Terrorism, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service during the forum that this series of forums is not just about discussion and exchange, but also focuses on promoting practical cooperation and jointly building a "global counter-terrorism firewall."
The three-day "Great Wall-2026" International Forum on Counter-Terrorism concluded in Beijing on the 15th. The theme of the forum was "Promoting Practical Cooperation on Counter-Terrorism and Jointly Protecting a Beautiful Homeland." A reporter from China News Service noticed that "cooperation" is not only the keyword of this forum, but also a high-frequency word in the mouths of representatives from various countries.
Chubinidze, Director of the Georgian National Special Guard, pointed out that global security and stability are currently facing many challenges, and the international community urgently needs to jointly discuss solutions. This forum provides a good communication platform for all parties, and communicating with the Chinese side is also an important purpose of his visit to China this time.
"This is my first time to participate in the 'Great Wall' international anti-terrorism forum." Javier, commander of the Spanish Border and Maritime Police Command, said that communication and dialogue should be carried out before specific actions, which is conducive to "preventing problems before they occur." Countries face the same or similar problems in the field of counter-terrorism and hope to find solutions together through communication and mutual learning.
Terrorism is a global challenge from which no country is immune. Observing this forum, strengthening international anti-terrorism cooperation has become the general consensus and common aspiration of all parties.
In addition, this forum will be held in a variety of discussion formats such as high-level forums, professional forums, and special forums. The topic setting will keep up with the changes of the times and respond to practical concerns. According to Adel, head of security affairs of the Kuwait National Guard, the "Great Wall" international forum on counter-terrorism is rich in content and diverse in form, and is a good opportunity for communication and counter-terrorism cooperation with other countries.
This is the sixth time the Chinese People's Armed Police Force has held the "Great Wall" International Forum on Counter-Terrorism. Compared with the previous five sessions, this year’s conference has more participating countries, which will help countries further build consensus and promote cooperation. In particular, this forum takes international counter-terrorism cooperation in the context of artificial intelligence as one of the main topics, which is of more practical significance.
“Since its first session in 2016, the ‘Great Wall’ International Forum on Counter-Terrorism has been in existence for 10 years this year.” Peng Jijun said that each forum has set up distinct themes and specific discussion contents, which have contributed to international counter-terrorism cooperation and improved the counter-terrorism capabilities of similar forces.
As an important force in China's counter-terrorism and stability maintenance, the Chinese People's Armed Police Force has established friendly cooperative relations with similar forces in more than 100 countries, and has carried out in-depth cooperation in multiple fields and forms such as anti-terrorism forums, joint exercises and training, competitions, and professional exchanges, making positive contributions to the international anti-terrorism cause.
Peng Jijun said that during the forum, he held talks with representatives from many countries. Everyone has proposed many very specific cooperation projects, such as continuing to provide assistance to other countries in artificial intelligence empowerment. The "Great Wall" international anti-terrorism forum "not only focuses on the discussion level", but also focuses on promoting anti-terrorism capacity building, deepening practical cooperation, and jointly building a "global anti-terrorism firewall."
