Paracel Islands
China and Vietnam are set to hold their first high-level ministerial talks under a new '3+3' strategic dialogue platform next week. The meetings will involve foreign, defence, and public security ministers, following images suggesting China has started land reclamation at Antelope Reef. Both nations seek stronger strategic ties despite the Paracels dispute.

Reports indicate extensive reclamation work by China at Antelope Reef in the South China Sea's Paracel Islands, a once-submerged feature, prompting questions about its strategic value to Beijing. Newsweek, citing European satellite imagery, reported dredging began after October 15. Beijing has not confirmed the reports or commented on the matter.
