OSAC Vietnam Country Chapter Meeting Brings Security Community Together in Hanoi
Lares Risk Management International (LRM) was represented by Kieran Howells, Country Manager & Partner Vietnam, at the OSAC Vietnam Country Chapter Meeting held in Hanoi on 15 September 2026.
Hosted by the U.S. Embassy Hanoi Regional Security Office, the meeting brought together representatives from the U.S. private sector, the Embassy, and partner U.S. Government agencies. The event provided an opportunity for members of the security community to connect, exchange perspectives, and discuss the current security environment in Vietnam and the wider region.
For LRM, participation in events such as the OSAC Vietnam Country Chapter Meeting provides an opportunity to engage directly with other security professionals and contribute to ongoing professional dialogue around security challenges and best practices.
Security Environment in Vietnam and the Wider Region
Understanding the security environment is an important consideration for organisations operating across Vietnam and the wider region. Professional forums such as the OSAC Vietnam Country Chapter Meeting provide a setting for members of the private sector and government partners to share perspectives and discuss relevant security developments.
The meeting also focused on the exchange of best practices. Bringing together professionals from different organisations creates opportunities to share practical experience and strengthen awareness of the security considerations affecting businesses and their operations.
For organisations with personnel, assets, or business interests in Vietnam, maintaining awareness of the local security environment can form an important part of broader risk management and business planning.
Connecting With the Security Community in Hanoi
Kieran’s participation also provided an opportunity to connect with fellow security professionals in Hanoi and build relationships within the local security community.
The meeting brought together members of the U.S. private sector, the U.S. Embassy, and partner U.S. Government agencies, creating a valuable environment for professional engagement and the exchange of perspectives.
For LRM, these connections support its engagement with the wider security community in Vietnam and provide opportunities to better understand the perspectives and priorities of organisations operating in the region.
