3 things about the Army Chief’s speech…
- On the turmoil created by the ongoing wars between Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine, General Pandey said that national security is very important in international affairs. Despite the turmoil happening around the world, India’s situation is much better.
- Today we have become a trusted voice at the global level. This is very special. It is effective in expressing the concerns of the Global South. Technology is driving geopolitics. This has never been seen before. It has also changed strategic and warfare techniques. Despite all this, India is in a much better place.
- Not only is the Cold War peace declining, but the world is falling apart in many ways. New divisions are emerging between East and West as well as the Global North and Global South. But India’s strong, resilient and customer-oriented economy has enabled us to withstand the economic downturn caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
