A seminar tailored for senior enlisted leaders highlighted the evolution of Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) within the Indo-Pacific strategic context. Key discussions emphasized the importance of preparing future generations of NCOs to tackle upcoming challenges through cultural training.
Meanwhile, a separate session for a wives group addressed significant topics, including women’s roles in security and the perspectives on women, peace, and security within the regional security landscape. They also reviewed a case study on the humanitarian response to recent flooding in Pakistan.
Overall, this conference continues to function as a vital platform for collaborative strategies aimed at enhancing understanding across the Indo-Pacific region.
