Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 1: Vikram Nair on response to security threats
There is a discernible shift in the global centre of gravity to the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the emergence of new security arrangements. There are concerns that such developments may have a divisive impact or could potentially trigger an arms race. Another trend that has emerged is a growing intersection between strategic issues and technology, which could mean cyber attacks and information warfare. MP Vikram Nair highlighted these trends in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2), and wanted to know how these will shape the priorities and plans of the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF). He also wanted to know how MINDEF would work with like-minded partners to address these threats.
