THE INDO-PACIFIC REGIONAL DIALOGUE 2023 (IPRD-2023)

In News
  • The annual apex-level international conference of the Indian Navy – the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) – will be held in New Delhi from 15 to 17 November 2023.
About IPRD
  • The first two editions of IPRD were held in 2018 and 2019 respectively at New Delhi.
  • IPRD 2020 was cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
  • The third edition of IPRD was held in 2021 in online mode and the fourth edition was conducted, reverting to a physical format, at New Delhi in 2022.
  • The National Maritime Foundation (NMF) is the Indian Navy’s knowledge partner and chief organiser of each edition of the IPRD, which aims to review various maritime trends within the Indo-Pacific region, the regional opportunities and challenges that arise therefrom, and foster the exchange of solution-oriented dialogue amongst key stakeholders.
  • The overarching theme of IPRD-2023 is “Geopolitical Impacts upon Indo-Pacific Maritime Trade and Connectivity”.
  • This year’s edition of the IPRD builds upon the previous one, which focussed upon ‘Operationalising the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI)’, by specifically addressing the ‘Trade, Connectivity and Maritime Transport’ pillar of the IPOI.
  • Both ‘Trade’ and ‘Maritime Transport’ are, of course, segments of maritime connectivity.
