The 2024 edition of the annual apex-level international conference of the Indian Navy, the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD), will be held in New Delhi starting today. The theme of the three-day conference is “Resource Geopolitics and Security in the Indo-Pacific.” Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will address the conference tomorrow.
According to the Indian Navy, IPRD is the principal manifestation of the Indian Navy’s international engagement at the strategic level, addressing holistic maritime security issues across the Indo-Pacific. This year’s conference will focus on how traditional and newly identified marine resources are influencing contemporary geopolitics and how they will shape it in the future. Offshore energy resources, such as hydrocarbons, are expected to retain their geopolitical significance.
