This was stated by Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh while delivering the keynote address at Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) 2021, being held virtually from October 27-29, 2021. \u201cIndia is committed to respecting the rights of all nations as laid down in the UN Convention on the Law of Seas (UNCLOS), 1982. We are fully determined to protect the legitimate rights and interests of our country in relation to our territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone, while supporting the maintenance of rule-based maritime systems, as mandated under UNCLOS, 1982,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s description of the Indo-Pacific as a natural region, where destinies of entities are interlinked, Shri Rajnath Singh said, the seas are a vital communication link to facilitate transport of goods, exchange of ideas, catalysing innovations and contributing to bringing the world closer. \u201cAlthough the Indo-Pacific is characterised by diversity, marked by a multiplicity of cultures, ethnicities, economic models, governance systems and varied aspirations, the oceans remain a common binding link,\u201d he said. Shri Rajnath Singh emphasised on the need for an efficient, cooperative and collaborative harnessing of the region\u2019s maritime potential for sustaining a steady path to prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>The Raksha Mantri pointed out that while the seas offer abundant opportunities for sustenance and growth of the mankind, they pose challenges such as terrorism, piracy, drug trafficking and climate change. He called for a cooperative response to these challenges which, he said, has considerable trans-national implications. \u201cThere is a need to find convergence of interests and commonality of purpose on maritime issues,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing his views on the broad theme of IPRD 2021,\u00a0\u2018Evolution in Maritime Strategy during the 21st Century: Imperatives, Challenges and Way Ahead\u2019, Shri Rajnath Singh said, it dwells upon the region\u2019s past, gauges the present and then arrives at tenets that will form the foundation of maritime strategies for the future. He hoped that the Dialogue will further the country\u2019s shared and collective vision for the Indo-Pacific. The Raksha Mantri said, he is looking forward to the recommendations that will result from the deliberations.<\/p>\n<p>First conducted in 2018, the IPRD is the apex international annual conference of the Indian Navy and is the principal manifestation of the Navy\u2019s engagement at the strategic-level. The National Maritime Foundation is the Navy\u2019s knowledge partner and chief organiser of each edition of this annual event. The aim of each successive edition is to review both opportunities and challenges that arise within the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Under the broad theme, the IPRD 2021 will focus on eight specific sub-themes.
