Army Chief Dwivedi Calls for Strict Measures Against Terrorism at Chanakya Defence Dialogue

"While India stands for progress and peace, strict steps are necessary to stop those who spread terror," said General Dwivedi.

The Army Chief also shed light on India’s evolving defense strategies, describing the shift toward fifth-generation warfare. He noted that decisions in modern conflict now need to be executed within hours, rather than days, and that the nation must be prepared to deploy its full strength rapidly if required.

“True strength lies in the enemy’s belief that any misstep will be met with immediate action. Today, India’s defense capabilities are so robust that our intentions are taken seriously by adversaries,” he added.

Key Highlights from General Dwivedi’s Speech:

Army’s Role in Diplomacy: The Army plays a crucial role in defense diplomacy. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar previously highlighted the importance of the Army in fostering strategic relationships, emphasizing both learning and active contribution.
India-China Relations: Since October 2024, India-China relations have seen a significant shift. The agreement in Eastern Ladakh on 21 October 2024 has been mutually beneficial, signaling a move toward normalcy and cooperation.
Jammu and Kashmir Tourism: General Dwivedi noted that ordinary citizens, as well as visitors from outside India, are increasingly interested in traveling to Jammu and Kashmir. Those who left the region during periods of unrest are now returning with a desire to contribute positively.

General Dwivedi’s remarks underscore India’s commitment to maintaining peace while remaining vigilant against threats, highlighting the Army’s preparedness and strategic foresight in a rapidly changing security environment.
