A highlight of the event was the second Special ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on the Rise of Radicalisation and Violent Extremism (SAMMRRVE), which was organised "to provide a platform for ASEAN member states to exchange experiences, views, and ideas on the best practices in handling the issues of radicalisation and violent extremism."
Aside from extremism, terrorism, and illegal drugs, ASEAN officials will discuss multi-territorial crimes such as human trafficking, arms and cultural property smuggling, money laundering, piracy, cybercrime, economic crime, environmental crime, and intellectual property theft.
