China-Pak-Bangladesh Nexus: CDS flags security threat to India
Chief of Defence Staff General Chauhan has voiced serious concerns over a growing security threat emanating from a potential convergence of China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. His statement, made on July 8, 2025, highlights a worrying trend in regional geopolitics.
The CDS specifically pointed to China’s continued military support for Pakistan, including crucial weapon maintenance assistance. This, he argued, significantly bolsters Pakistan’s military capabilities.
General Chauhan also drew attention to the changing dynamics of modern warfare, citing experiences from Operation Sindoor. He underscored the increasing importance of non-contact warfare and multi-domain operations in the current strategic landscape.
This evolving threat necessitates a comprehensive reassessment of India’s defence strategies and preparedness, experts say. The implications for regional stability and India’s national security are profound, demanding immediate attention from policymakers. The increasing collaboration between these three nations poses a significant challenge to India’s security architecture in the coming years.
