Police said that they are conducting road blocks and stringent
security checks at the Shangri-La Hotel and in the vicinity during the
three-day event.
The public is advised to comply with the police’s instructions at these
checkpoints.
Anyone who carries out activities that compromise security within the area will
be dealt with according to the law, police said.
Motorists are advised to avoid roads surrounding the hotel, particularly
Anderson Road and Orange Grove Road.
They are also encouraged to plan their journey early as traffic is expected to
be slow on these roads, police said.
Hotel visitors are advised to car-pool or take public transport as parking
facilities within Shangri-La Hotel will be limited.
Parking restrictions will be strictly enforced, and vehicles found parking
indiscriminately or causing obstruction will be towed.
The public is also strongly advised against conducting aerial activities - such
as flying kites and unmanned aircraft, and hoisting captive balloons - in the
area during this period, police said.
This year’s dialogue is expected to have five discussion sessions, including
those on the leadership role of the US and security challenges in the
Indo-Pacific region, prevention of tension escalation in the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea, and shaping Asia’s changing security order.
Discussions will also focus on maritime security, a code of conduct and
measures to enhance trust, security and humanitarian issues in the Rohingya
refugee crisis in Myanmar, among others.
The Vietnamese delegation to the dialogue is led by Vietnamese Defence Minister General Ngo Xuan Lich.
