What is the Indo-Pacific Armies Chiefs\u2019 Conference(IPACC)?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Organized by: <\/b>Indian Army with the US Army\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim:<\/b> To provide an opportunity for the delegates to exchange ideas and views on security and other contemporary issues of mutual interest, with core efforts directed to promote<\/span> \u2018Peace and Stability\u2019 in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participation: <\/b>The conference witnessed participation from 30 countries. 18 countries were<\/span> represented by Chiefs of their respective Armies and 12 countries were<\/span> represented by Heads of Delegations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key highlights from the Defence<\/b> Minister\u2019s address at the conference?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Importance of Indo Pacific region:<\/b> The Indo-Pacific is no more a maritime construct, but a full-fledged geo-strategic construct, and the region is facing a complex web of security challenges, including boundary disputes & and piracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Geo-Strategic Importance of the Indo-Pacific c<\/b>an be explained through a theoretical model by American author and speaker Mr Stephen R. Covey, which is based on two circles \u2013 <\/span>\u2018Circle of Concern’ and \u2018Circle of Influence\u2019.<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u2013 <\/span><\/i>The <\/span>\u2018Circle of Concern<\/b>\u2019 encompasses everything one cares about, including things that can be controlled and things that cannot. It includes a wide range of external factors & issues such as global events, economic conditions, other people’s opinions, weather and many other aspects of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 The \u2018<\/span>Circle of Influence\u2019<\/b> comprises things over which one has direct control or can exert some degree of influence.It may involve your attitudes, behaviors, decisions, relationships, and actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Defence Minister applied this model to international relations.<\/b>He highlighted that nations may have overlapping ‘<\/span>Circles of Concern<\/b>,’ which could lead to conflicts or cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 For example, <\/b>International maritime trade routes passing through high seas beyond the Exclusive Economic Zones of any country is a relevant example.<\/span>This concern was addressed through the <\/span>United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), 1982.This agreement establishes the legal framework for maritime activities and addresses the issues arising from overlapping <\/span>\u2018circles of concern\u2019<\/span><\/i> of different nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, <\/span>states must identify and seek to expand their <\/span>\u2018<\/span><\/i>Circle of Influence\u2019<\/i><\/b> to promote national interests on the global stage.This may involve building partnerships, participating in regional organizations and employing diplomatic, economic or military tools strategically.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
