INDO-PACIFIC REGIONAL DIALOGUE 2021

In news

First conducted in 2018, the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) is the apex international annual conference of the Indian Navy, and is the principal manifestation of the navy’s engagement at the strategic-level.

Aim

The aim of each successive edition of the IPRD is to review both opportunities and challenges that arise within the Indo-Pacific.

Details
  • The National Maritime Foundation is the navy’s knowledge partner and chief organiser of each edition of this annual event.
  • IPRD-2018 focussed on four main sub-themes: maritime trade; regional connectivity; pan-regional challenges such as those of persistent maritime surveillance, the increasing digitisation of the maritime space, and cyber-malevolence within the maritime domain; and, the role of industry in enhancing holistic maritime security.
