The dialogue included four sessions, namely hybrid activities from myths to realities; identifying non-kinetic toolbox of hybrid threats; high-technology - a key enabler of hybrid threats; and policy and legal recommendations to manage hybrid activities.

During the dialogue, participants shared viewpoints on hybrid activities and cases of hybrid activities exploited as grey zone activities. The event was an occasion for them to exchange with experts about foreign policy, international law, science and technology, and maritime security.

Meanwhile, speakers discussed the reality of hybrid and grey zone activities in the region, including the East Sea (South China Sea). Also, they suggested some initiatives for countries inside and outside the region to manage hybrid activities and respond to grey zone activities in a more effective manner.
