Indian Army Chief, General Upendra Dwivedi, pitched an 'IKIGAI' framework that reflects a "shared purpose" among Indo-Pacific nations to leverage collective land power in safeguarding peace, stability and prosperity in the region. COAS was virtually addressing the third Land Forces Summit, hosted by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.
Chiefs and senior military leaders from Australia, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and the US also attended the summit.
"In his address, the #COAS postulated the 'IKIGAI' Framework as a roadmap for Indo-Pacific Land Power Cooperation. IKIGAI comprises: I – Interoperability & Information Sharing K – Knowledge & Professional Military Education I – International Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Relief G – Generative Technological Partnerships A – Assurance for Security Partnerships I – Integrated Logistics & Sustainment," the Army said in a post on X.
General Dwivedi further articulated the three pillars of convergence — "Shared Diagnosis, Shared Principles and Shared Actions".
The Land Forces Summit aims to promote multilateral Army-to-Army defence cooperation through multinational senior leadership sessions and structured Land Forces Dialogue, the Indian Army said.
