China Looking To Replace US As Global Net Security Provider: Army Chief General Manoj Pande

The conference has been jointly organised by New Delhi-based Centre for China Analysis and Strategy and the Department of Defence and Strategic Studies (DDSS) of the Savitribai Phule Pune University.

Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande on Monday said that with 12 point peace plan to break conflict between Russia and Ukraine, China is looking to replace Unites States as global net security provider, news agency ANI reported. 

While delivering the keynote address in the inaugural session of the two-day strategic dialogue in Pune, General Manoj Pande stated: "Brokering of peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran and putting forth the Chinese 12 point peace plan for ending the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia is reflective of Chinese urgency to replace the US as a global net security provider."

Speaking about the Russia-Ukraine tensions, General Pande stated: "The conflict has only added to the turbulence in the landscape with many aspects emerging profoundly in the geo-political security calculus."

He stated that the strategic neighbourhood can be visualised as an "arch of uncertainty."

Highlighting the issues that will keep the South Asia region in flux, General Pande said: "Unresolved border disputes both territorial as well as Maritime, illegal cross-border migration, non-traditional threats such as illegal and unregulated fishing and increasing religious fundamentalism coupled with regional vulnerability to climate change induced disaster are going to keep South Asia region in flux."

"These manifestations certainly have an impact on our national security. It is amidst this background that China's rise continues. It is driven by its regional and global aspirations. China's rise as a political, technological and military power has accorded it a new hierarchical position in the world order which it intends to lead," he further stated. 

The conference has been jointly organised by New Delhi-based Centre for China Analysis and Strategy and the Department of Defence and Strategic Studies (DDSS) of the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). The subject of the conference is ‘Rise of China and Its Implications for the World’.

The second edition of the Africa-India Field Training Exercise (AFINDEX 2023) will conclude on Wednesday at the Indian Army's Foreign Training Node (FTN) at Aundh Military Station in the city.
