.@BradSmi: We also have 21st century digital arms merchants – companies that work contractually for govts. to create the code govts. want to put to work – adding to the risk situation #Raisina2021
.@BradSmi: The faster people move to the #cloud, the more secure the countries of the world will be. This is because cloud service providers will be responsible for the constant upgrading of servers, application of #bestpractices etc. #Raisina2021
.@BradSmi: In many instances, there is a shortage of #cybersecurity professionals. Companies like @Microsoft are taking steps to address this, but this is an issue for national policy as well #Raisina2021
.@BradSmi: We are seeing new forms of attacks as in the #solarwinds case, which put at risk the software #supplychain of the world. The world relies on updating of software, and if we lose confidence in that, it undermines the ability to do what people need to do #Raisina2021
.@BradSmi: We need to both stand up for the norms that exist in #cyberspace already, as well as add to them and strengthen them further. Broad, indiscriminate disruptions of the #supplychain should be prohibited #Raisina2021
.@BradSmi: The #ParisCall for trust and security in #cyberspace has more than 1000 signatories incl. 75 govts. We also saw progress at the UN #OEWG, as it endorsed the norms we have today and called for strengthening them #Raisina2021
.@nagmasahar: The pandemic struck at the roots of global order which many believe was already falling. Pre-pandemic global trends seemed redundant. #Raisina2021
.@nagmasahar: The withering of the pre-pandemic global order is epitomised by the failure of the WHO to play a global leadership role during the pandemic. Other than the WHO, the UN and organisations like the WTO are also struggling for contemporary relevance. #Raisina2021
.@teddyboylocsin: The future will be determined by the dynamics of the Indo-Pacific. The Indo-Pacific is undoubtedly the arena for the contemporary version of the Great Game, where multiple players with diverse ambitions display their strategic skills. #Raisina2021
.@teddyboylocsin: Southeast Asian nations remain skeptical of Great Power schemes that seek to drag in ASEAN nations to larger quarrels and far bigger ambitions that Southeast Asia as a region of peace do not share. #Raisina2021
We are LIVE tweeting the discussion – “Waters of Growth: Towards an Arabian Sea Community” with @AakankshaT, @AUThackeray, @IEAKwame, Harsh V. Pant and Majed Al Ansari
Harsh V. Pant: It is often forgotten that in India’s conception of the Indo-Pacific, the Arabian sea is the critical anchor. #Raisina2021
Majed Al Ansari: Since 2010, the US in the Arabian Sea & Middle East have started pulling out of major conflicts in the region. This means that local powers and regional powers must play a different role which is expected of them. #Raisina2021
We are LIVE tweeting the discussion – “Chained Globalisation: Unshackling Lifelines, Unclogging Supply Chains” with @ManishTewari, @MConleytyler, @NaghmaSahar, @SoerenGade,Cho Choongjae and I-Chung Lai
.@NaghmaSahar: The global pandemic has undermined the convictions, certainties, and certitudes that have driven two decades of globalisation. It disrupted the supply chains and compelled countries to turn inwards and focus on self-reliance. #Raisina2021
.@NaghmaSahar: The pandemic has compelled the states and organisations to acknowledge that their global values chains and economic co-dependence had embedded social and political consequences. #Raisina2021
.@JUNAIDWBG: With technological change always happening, workers are seeking to upgrade their skills and a safety net must also be vest in their ability to build up their human capital.
.@JUNAIDWBG: During Covid-19, India discovered lot of fault lines inside its own social safety net. It recognised that perhaps Urban India, migrants and the informal sector had not been fully covered in the safety net. #Raisina2021
.@abdulla_shahid: Maldives is also one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Hence, we are aiming to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for energy generation and we have decided to lead by example. We aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2030. #Raisina2021
.@abdulla_shahid: Maldives is continuously looking at ways to transition to lower emissions and cleaner methods of energy generation. Our recovery plans formulated in the aftermath of covid-19 pandemic adapts an energy policy that emphasises solar power for energy generation.
