  • 0 Report: ICS – KAS Conversation
    0 Report: ICS – KAS Conversation Background The People’s Republic of China aspires to build a “modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious” by 2049. Widely considered as a euphemism for a “Global Power”, the Chinese Dream (中国梦) envisages China claiming its rightful role in the global stage after more than a ‘Century of Humiliation’. Commensurate with the national goal, the People’s Liberation Army aspires to be a ‘world class ’military by 2049. Of particular importance is the PLA Navy (PLAN) which has grown from a ‘brown water ’Navy to the “largest Navy in the world” in just three decades, defying conventional modelling and predictions. The growth of the PLAN is prominent in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), where it has a near-permanent presence with a logistic base at Djibouti, counter-piracy patrols, and a growing footprint that necessitates critical examination. This webinar proposed to delve into current and future developments in the PLAN that are of concern to India. The Webinar was covered the following parts: - i. PLAN’s expansion in the IOR till date. ii. PLA’s likely force projection capabilities till 2035. iii. Perspective Planning for India as a Net Security Provider in the IOR. 1 Report: ICS – KAS Conversation Programme Overview To explore the presence of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy in the Indian Ocean and the resultant challenges and opportunities which arise for India, the Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS) in partnership with the India Office of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) organized the ICS-KAS Conversation on 'PLA Navy’s Expansion in the Indian Ocean: Challenges and Opportunities for India' on Wednesday, 28 October 2020 at 3:00 P.M IST on Zoom along with ICS media partner, ThePrint.
