Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi redefined maritime security as a "dynaxic challenge" - both dynamic and complex - at the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue 2025. He outlined how commercial disruption, transnational threats, and technological vulnerabilities demand collaborative solutions beyond traditional approaches. With plans to expand the Information Fusion Centre-Indian Ocean Region to host 50 international liaison officers by 2028, the Navy emphasizes regional capacity-building to address maritime security challenges through an integrated framework of deterrence, governance, and environmental stewardship.
