Nanjing is buzzing this week as the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) welcomes international delegates to the 20th ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting Plus (ADMM-Plus) Experts' Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations. With reps from ASEAN nations, UN officials, and observer states in attendance, the event is all about "tech-driven solutions for global security" – think AI peacekeeping tools and crisis-mapping drones! 🚁💻
Why It Matters
This 5-day summit at the PLA Army Command College isn't just about military strategy. Young professionals and students will geek out over sessions exploring how blockchain could prevent conflict financing and how VR simulations are training peacekeepers to de-escalate tensions. One delegate told us: "It's like Coachella for conflict resolution nerds!" 🎤🌐
Tech Meets Diplomacy
With ASEAN's digital economy projected to hit $1 trillion by 2030, this collaboration signals a shift toward Asia-led innovation in global security. As Gen Z's favorite apps reshape communication, could TikTok-style platforms someday help bridge diplomatic divides? 🤔📲
