On August 30, the "Great Wall -2024" anti-terrorism international forum held by the Chinese People's Armed Police Force was successfully concluded in Beijing. Over the course of 4 days, more than 300 Chinese and foreign representatives from 54 countries attended the event, conducting in-depth discussions on the theme of "unmanned counter-terrorism operations", sharing counter-terrorism work concepts, exchanging practical experience, exploring cutting-edge counter-terrorism technologies, and looking forward to the vision of counter-terrorism cooperation. In recent years, the threat of terrorism has shown a spreading trend, seriously impacting global development and security. With the use of new fields and technologies in terrorist actions, countries have realized that preventing and combating new types of terrorism has become an urgent task Peng Jijun, Director of the Forum Secretariat, introduced that many countries actively registered after receiving the news of holding this forum. Nearly 200 Chinese and foreign representatives participated in the speech exchange, and more than 50 representatives at the general level and above spoke successively. The Great Wall 2024 Counter Terrorism International Forum is timely Fu Xiaoqiang, Vice President of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, issued an initiative during the first high-level seminar on the opening day of the forum, hoping that all countries can jointly use and manage technology to defeat terrorism. In the face of new threats and challenges posed by international terrorism, we should strengthen communication and cooperation Fu Xiaoqiang emphasized. The "Great Wall" Counter Terrorism International Forum, approved by the Central Military Commission and hosted by the Armed Police Force, has been held for the fifth time since 2016. After years of development, the forum has become a well-known brand in the field of international security. Unlike before, this forum distinguishes between high-level discussions and professional discussions. For the first time, a high-level discussion segment is set up, mainly consisting of high-level leaders from various countries and experts from some Chinese think tanks who give speeches to study the strategic theory of counter-terrorism. Combined with professional discussion segments, a complete theoretical system is formed from counter-terrorism strategy to tactics. A few years ago, when we talked about terrorism, we felt it was very distant. Later, our country experienced a civil war, and terrorism quietly opened the door to our country. Terrorists used various combat methods, causing great harm to our civilians As a guest speaker at the high-level seminar, General Landry Ritchie Debo, Commander of the Central African Military Police Force, stated during the sharing and exchange that combating terrorism requires all parties to keep up with the times, innovate and develop, keep up with the forefront of unmanned and intelligent technology development, and comprehensively strengthen counter-terrorism capacity building. He expressed that he has high expectations for this forum and hopes to find ways to address the threat of terrorism and combat it through unmanned means. In order to enable representatives from various countries to explore the future of unmanned counter-terrorism operations together, this forum has set up three topics in the professional discussion section: "Unmanned counter-terrorism equipment and materials", "Unmanned counter-terrorism tactics and methods", and "Unmanned counter-terrorism training and talent cultivation". Representatives from various countries actively contribute their wisdom and strength to international counter-terrorism through ideological exchanges and collisions. Yang Yujun, the moderator of the forum and dean of the Institute of Media and Public Affairs at Communication University of China, said in an interview, "I have participated in many domestic and international forums before, but the 'Great Wall' Counter Terrorism International Forum is my first time participating. As the moderator, I personally experience that everyone's discussions are particularly in-depth and enthusiastic. I think this is a professional, practical, efficient, and successful forum." "" With the rapid development of technologies in new composite materials, flapping wing mobility analysis, and other fields, the new concept bionic flapping wing aircraft designed to imitate birds or insects has attracted widespread attention from the industry, showing high concealment, high maneuverability, high energy efficiency, and high adaptability, and is expected to become a new growth point of combat power in unmanned anti-terrorism operations in the future. In the professional seminar on counter-terrorism equipment, Chen Qianlong, a guest speaker from the Shaanxi Armed Police Force, brought two biomimetic flapping wing aircraft, one large and one small, to the venue for display, exploring their role in future counter-terrorism operations. Chen Jianlong introduced that compared with fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, bionic flapping wing aircraft are more suitable for carrying out diverse tasks such as low altitude reconnaissance, target surveillance, and covert decapitation. In the professional seminar, the unmanned equipment showcased by various countries left a deep impression on Oscar Manuel Ariola Delgado, Chief of Staff of the Peruvian National Police, and also gave him more inspiration in the field of counter-terrorism operations. He said, "Peru has a complex terrain structure, and these unmanned equipment can play a very important role." "Unmanned technology is becoming a standard in our counter-terrorism operations, greatly promoting the fight against terrorism and ensuring the safety of our personnel." In the professional seminar on "Unmanned Counter Terrorism Methods and Measures," Brigadier General Alam Amir Awan, Deputy Director of the Pakistani Ministry of Defense, shared his experience in using unmanned systems on the front line of counter-terrorism operations and put forward his own views on how to improve unmanned counter-terrorism combat capabilities. After the seminar, Xi Xima, a grassroots representative of the People's Armed Police Force, presented his practical needs in the field of unmanned anti-terrorism operations to the representatives of military enterprises who came to attend, and invited technical personnel from the enterprises to conduct joint research at the grassroots level. He said, "By understanding the new concepts of various countries in the field of counter-terrorism, as well as the problems they face in actual combat, I have gained a deeper understanding of unmanned counter-terrorism operations, and it has also made me realize that the time to promote the construction of unmanned counter-terrorism forces is very urgent." "Talent is the most difficult preparation for war, and no matter how the form of war evolves, the main role of people in war cannot be ignored. We must have a group of talent backbone who understand unmanned operations, know unmanned construction, and know how to operate unmanned equipment." The speaker of the Armed Police Special Police Academy introduced the experience of the training system, treatment and placement of unmanned counter-terrorism talents in the "Unmanned Counter Terrorism Training and Talent Cultivation" seminar. Inside the venue, Hayel Elosh, the head of the Tunisian Ministry of Interior's Counter Terrorism Police Department, listened attentively and kept taking notes. She said in an interview with the media, "We have applied some unmanned equipment in the field of counter-terrorism, many of which are deployed in border areas. However, there is still room for improvement in talent cultivation, and we need talents in equipment use, maintenance, and other aspects. We are very grateful for the forum hosted by the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, which allowed us to share the experience of other countries in unmanned counter-terrorism operations. We hope to strengthen cooperation with China in the future and train more unmanned counter-terrorism personnel." "In this forum, many representatives mentioned the help China has provided to them in the field of counter-terrorism cooperation, which precisely demonstrates China's tremendous efforts and contributions to world counter-terrorism," said Li Li, the forum host and a special expert at the Strategic and Security Research Center of Tsinghua University. Many countries are facing severe challenges. The anti-terrorism situation, Cross border terrorist attacks are a common challenge they face, and only by uniting countries to take action and apply unmanned counter-terrorism forces in these areas can they effectively respond to terrorism. The "Great Wall" International Forum on Counter Terrorism, which China has built, has played an important role in this exchange and cooperation platform. Terrorism knows no borders and requires us to fight together. We hope to have more cooperation with the Chinese People's Armed Police Oscar Garc í a S á nchez, the captain of the tactical support team of the Spanish National Guard Special Forces Brigade, has worked in the field of counter-terrorism for 11 years and has used various types of drones. During the seminar, he shared his practical experience in drone reconnaissance in detail. He is also very interested in the cutting-edge research on unmanned counter-terrorism shared by representatives from various countries. During the seminar, he has had multiple exchanges and interactions with representatives from various countries. He plans to bring back the gains he has made at the "Great Wall" Counter Terrorism International Forum these days and apply them to future counter-terrorism operations. At the closing ceremony of the forum, Cameroon's Defense Attach é Ahongnan Jean Jacques expressed sincere gratitude on behalf of the foreign guests. He stated that terrorism poses a threat to all humanity and has far-reaching consequences. Countries should join hands to actively prevent the threat of terrorism. This forum provides a very valuable learning and discussion opportunity for the international fight against terrorism, benefiting everyone greatly. We hope that all countries will continue to work together to curb the threat of terrorism. Terrorism is the 'cancer' of human society. Only by uniting and working together can we fearlessly face any risks and challenges, and forge a steel wall against terrorism Zhu Wenxiang, deputy commander of the Armed Police Force, won applause in his closing speech. He said: "Facing the future, the Chinese People's Armed Police Force will continue to carry out all-round and in-depth cooperation with similar forces in various countries in intelligence information, war methods, joint exercises and training, talent cultivation, equipment technology, systems and mechanisms, with a more open attitude and more pragmatic action, to jointly prevent and combat terrorism, and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and a world of lasting peace and universal security."
