The theme of the conference was  “Mapping China’s Himalayan Hustle".

The forum facilitated dialogue among scholars and experts from India, Europe, East Asia, and the US on the broader ramifications of China’s ambitions. amid growing tensions and strategic competition in Asia.

In a press statement issued by SCSA-IPA, a panel, moderated by Panda, focused on China’s growing assertiveness and its effects on regional dynamics in the Indo-Pacific. Experts discussed China’s ambitions to outcompete the US and limit India’s influence, particularly through infrastructure development and geopolitical tensions in the Himalayas, reported ANI.

The second panel, moderated by Richard Ghiasy, a Senior Fellow at Leiden Asia Center, addressed Beijing’s strategic infrastructure development and military presence in the Himalayas, the Indian news agency reported.
