Spy Chiefs Hold Secret Meeting in Singapore

Senior officials from around 24 major intelligence agencies, including the US and China, held a secret meeting on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue security meeting in Singapore. The meetings, organised by the Singapore government, have been discreetly held at a separate venue alongside the security summit for several years. The discussions were collaborative and cooperative, and not confrontational, with topics including Russia's war in Ukraine and transnational crime. The meetings have not been previously reported, and all sources declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.
