ECONOMICALLY, THE REGION OF Indo-Pacific is a centre of global trade and commerce, and therefore of increasing strategic importance. Recently, the Army Chiefs, Vice Chiefs and Delegates from nearly 30 countries met in New Delhi met to brain storm, exchange ideas and views on security and other contemporary issues of mutual interest, with core efforts directed to promote ‘Peace and Stability’ in the Indo-Pacific region. The event, the Indo-Pacific Armies Chiefs Conference (IPACC), Indo-Pacific Armies Management Seminar (IPAMS), and Senior Enlisted Leaders Forum (SELF) for 2023 concluded on September 27, 2023, marking the end of a three-day event that brought together the military minds from across the globe. Representing 6 continents, 18 countries were represented by Chiefs of their respective Armies, and 12 countries were represented by Heads of Delegations. Organised by the Indian Army with the US Army as the co-host, this diplomatic extravaganza aimed to foster collaborative efforts for ‘Peace and Stability’ in the IndoPacific region.

The event commenced with a curtain-raiser on September 20, 2023, setting the stage for an extraordinary display of international cooperation. Guided by the theme ‘Together for Peace: Fostering Stability in the Indo-Pacific Region,’ the conference aimed to delve into crucial discussions on security matters transcending national boundaries.
