• The IPRD serves as the Indian Navy’s flagship international engagement event at the strategic level, complementing operational-level initiatives like the Goa Maritime Symposium.
• The Goa Maritime Symposium, held just a few weeks prior, focused on cooperative engagement in the Indian Ocean region, but the IPRD delves deeper into broader Indo-Pacific concerns, particularly maritime security.
• This year’s edition, IPRD-2024, focuses on the theme “Resource-Geopolitics and Security in the Indo-Pacific."
