NANJING, Sept. 17 -- The 2025 Conference of Global Public Security Cooperation Forum opened on Wednesday in the city of Lianyungang in east China's Jiangsu Province, drawing nearly 2,000 participants from 120 countries, regions and international organizations for discussions focusing on addressing global public security challenges through enhanced cooperation.

Participants will discuss topics such as "Joint strategies: Addressing global public security risks and challenges in the new era," "Innovation leading the way: Enhancing public security capacity building and technical cooperation," and "Unified action: Building a more comprehensive mechanism for global public security cooperation."

In addition, eight sub-forums will be held, covering areas including tourism security and international police education cooperation.

Notably, the 2025 annual report of the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum and the 2025 Global Public Security Index Report will both be released during the event.

This year's index report assesses 50 countries across four key dimensions -- law and order maintenance, counterterrorism, road traffic safety and cybersecurity. The report this year will, for the first time, feature an artificial intelligence security indicator aimed at addressing challenges posed by emerging technologies.
