Experts dwell on escalating geopolitical complexities

The Department of Defence and Strategic Studies at Post Graduate Government College, Sector 11, on Friday held an international seminar titled “Ramifications of Emerging Geo-Political Flux in Bangladesh and Myanmar”.

The seminar served as a high-level strategic forum where a global panel of military legends, diplomatic experts and legal luminaries engaged in a rigorous synthesis of the escalating geopolitical complexities.

A primary contribution of the seminar was the detailed examination of the “South Asian Paradox”. The experts deliberated on the staggering reality that while the region held the potential to be a global economic powerhouse, it remained the least integrated neighborhood in the world. The deliberations highlighted that despite sharing a deep-rooted historical legacy, common cultural threads, and intertwined linguistic and religious ties, regional progress remained hostage to a lack of cohesiveness and deep-seated suspicion.

The panel of keynote speakers featured General VP Malik, Lt Gen KJ Singh, Lt Gen Arun Sahni, Jyoti Malhotra (Editor-in-Chief, The Tribune Publications), Maj Gen J S Nanda, Dr Tania Amir and Dr Rami Desai.
