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
