Indo-Pacific emerged as pivotal theatre in contemporary geo-strategic canvas: Army Chief Gen Pande

New Delhi, Sep 26 (PTI) India's outlook for the Indo-Pacific emphasises respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states in the region, peaceful resolution of disputes and avoidance of use of force, Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande said on Tuesday.

His comments at the inaugural session of the India-hosted 13th Indo-Pacific Armies Chiefs' Conference (IPACC) came against the backdrop of China's growing military assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific as well as the lingering border row in eastern Ladakh.

"The challenges we face are significant, but so is our collective wisdom and strength. It is through open dialogue and exchange of ideas that we will find innovative solutions to the challenges," he said in presence of military delegates from around 35 countries.
