Army Chief Lt.General MM Narwane said – Not a quad military alliance, some countries’ fears are baseless.

Army Chief Lt.General MM Narwane has said that some countries are calling the Quad a military alliance to increase the baseless apprehension.

However, he has no concrete evidence to support his claim. The Quad is not intended to be a military alliance. It aims to form a pluralistic group on issues related to the Indo-Pacific region.

Let us tell that the quad includes India, America, Japan, and Australia. These four countries are in favor of an independent, open, and inclusive a Asia-Pacific region against the promotion of democratic ideals and the increasing aggression of China.

General Naravane said in an exclusive interview that the Quad has neither a desire to form a military alliance nor is it making any effort in this direction.

Some countries are calling the Quad a military alliance. His fear is unfounded. He has no evidence to prove his apprehension.

The process of modernization of the army continues.

Army Chief General MM Narwane has said that the process of modernization of the army is on. He misconstrued the apprehension that more resources were being put on that side due to the deadlock with China on the LAC.

Due to this, the army has lacked funds to buy new weapons. He said that 59 contracts worth 21,000 crores have been approved since the last financial year, while many other proposals for procurement are under discussion.

Foreign Minister S Jaishankar emphasizes the importance of the quad in the Indo-Pacific.

Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar had said on a visit to the US that Australia, India, Japan, and the US informal ‘Quad’ group in the strategically important Indo-Pacific region bridges the very important gap in contemporary times, and New Delhi in it ( In the Quad) is clear about its membership.

The Quad aims to strengthen the rule-based system in the strategically important region amid China’s aggressive actions in the Indo-Pacific region.
