IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 2026 | Special Session 2: Enhancing Littoral Security in Asia

In an era of complex strategic interdependence and diverse security challenges, the protection of coastlines and coastal-adjacent shipping routes is vital.

This special session considered how states were responding to these threats through new technologies, partnerships and policies. IISS Shangri-La Dialogue   29–31 May 2026 #IISS_SLD26 go.iiss.org/SLD26
