This measure, known as Guarantee of Law and Order, has been previously used for major events like the World Cup and Olympics. The military will patrol the city, focusing on areas where violence has recently occurred. Leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping, are confirmed to attend the summit.
