NEW DELHI: India’s outlook for the Indo-Pacific emphasises respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states in the region, peaceful resolution of disputes and avoidance of use of force, Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande said on Tuesday. His comments at the inaugural session of the India-hosted 13th Indo-Pacific Armies Chiefs’ Conference (IPACC) came against the backdrop of China’s growing military assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific as well as the lingering border row in eastern Ladakh.
