1. Which country is the most peaceful in Asia?
The Global Peace Index 2026, released on June 9th, ranks 163 countries and territories, assessing them across three areas: ongoing conflict, social security and safety, and the level of militarization.
Singapore ranks highest among Asian countries on this list. The country continues to maintain its position as the "benchmark for safety and order in Asia." This is a remarkable achievement given the island nation's increasingly high population density.

The Peace Index divides the world into six basic colors: dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, red, and white, corresponding to levels of peace from high to low. Vietnam belongs to the light blue group, representing a high level of peace, second only to the dark blue group.
If we consider only the Asia-Pacific region, Vietnam ranks 8th, followed by: New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, Timor-Leste, Mongolia, and then South Korea, Laos, Indonesia...
Meanwhile, on a global scale, Vietnam ranks 41st out of 163 countries and territories. The light green group includes countries ranked from 9th to 66th.
3. Besides Singapore, which other Asian country made it into the top 10 most peaceful countries in the world?

Besides Singapore, Japan is the only Asian country to make it into the top 10 most peaceful countries in the world. It ranks 10th, up 3 places from last year. A 25% increase in its internal conflict resolution index has further enhanced Japan's appeal.
However, experts note that this index only measures the level of macro-level peace, taking into account factors such as armed conflict, militarization, or political stability, and does not account for actual travel risks such as traffic safety, natural disasters, or petty theft.
