New Delhi, Aug 25: Chief of Integrated Defence Staff (CIDS) Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit will visit Thailand from August 26–28 to attend the annual Chiefs of Defence Conference, jointly hosted by the United States Indo-Pacific Command and the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
The conference is a key multilateral forum that brings together defence chiefs from across the Indo-Pacific to deliberate on regional and global security challenges, cooperative frameworks, and ways to strengthen military-to-military ties. The 2025 edition is expected to focus on maritime security, counter-terrorism, cyber resilience, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and efforts to foster peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific.
Air Marshal Dixit is scheduled to hold discussions with participating counterparts to exchange views on enhancing interoperability, joint preparedness, and strategic partnerships to tackle common security concerns. The Ministry of Defence said the visit reflects India’s commitment to regional security, multilateral cooperation, and a rules-based, inclusive Indo-Pacific.
