Global security is today threatened by unprecedented challenges in the form of “faceless” enemies such as the coronavirus and the weaponisation of trade, said Pankaj Saran, former Deputy National Security Advisor.
Speaking at an event hosted by by Synergia Foundation, a Bengaluru-based think tank, he said national security interests were previously secured through the preservation of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and internal stability from external forces. Now it has grown to add various other dimensions like human security, he said, according to a release by Synergia.
India must always be prepared to deal with the complete spectrum of threats, both conventional and the unprecedented, said Mr. Saran, emphasising the need to recalibrate India’s strategic partnerships, which too are vulnerable to changing eras.
