The exercise simulated a scenario prior to an international conference, as delegations from around the world arrived in Hong Kong. Armed terrorists attacked members of the public and placed suspicious objects inside a passenger terminal at the airport. Concurrently, a series of knife attacks against pedestrians and a large-scale power outage occurred at a large shopping mall in nearby Tung Chung. Various departments and organisations swiftly activated their emergency response mechanisms to address the incidents.
The exercise comprehensively tested the co-ordination capabilities of relevant stakeholders across critical areas, including immediate tactical intervention, emergency response, triage and emergency medical treatment of casualties, handling of suspicious objects, response to power failures, and management of affected persons. By refining contingency protocols, the exercise further enhanced inter-departmental counter-terrorism readiness and incident response capabilities.
The exercise mobilised over 1 400 personnel from various government departments and relevant organisations, including the HKPF, the Fire Services Department, the Hospital Authority, the Customs and Excise Department, the Immigration Department, the Civil Aviation Department, the AAHK, and the Aviation Security Company Limited. The Commissioner of Police, Mr Chow Yat-ming, observed the exercise on site, and commended the professional performance and collaboration of all participating units.
As an international metropolis, Hong Kong must maintain a high state of vigilance at all times amidst the complex and volatile global terrorism landscape. Hong Kong will host three major international conferences, including the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Finance Ministers' Meeting 2026, the 94th INTERPOL General Assembly, and the XXVIII Association of National Olympic Committees General Assembly - Hong Kong, China 2026. The HKPF will continue to maintain close liaison with relevant government departments and stakeholders, robustly implement security measures and continuously review incident contingency plans, making every effort to ensure comprehensive and meticulous preparations for the smooth running of these important international conferences.
