Defence. In 2014, both sides decided to extend defence cooperation to cover research, development and industry engagement. The first-ever Bilateral Maritime Exercise, AUSINDEX, was conducted in Visakhapatnam (Bay of Bengal) in September 2015. The most recent one was conducted in September 2021. In 2018, the Indian Air Force participated for the first time in Exercise Pitch Black in Australia. INS Sahyadri participated in Kakadu, the biennial exercise of the Australian Navy held in 2018, in which 27 nations participated. The 4th edition of AUSTRAHIND (Special Forces of Army Exercise) was held in September 2019. MULTILATERAL ENGAGEMENT: Both countries have close cooperation in multilateral platforms like Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and G20. The Quadrilateral Framework (QUAD) of India and Australia along with the US and Japan emphasize the collective resolve to maintain a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific region.
Defence. With global instability rapidly increasing and the nature and scope of threats and crises constantly changing, the Netherlands needs modern and well-equipped armed forces. Domestic and international security problems are becoming ever more intertwined, and the turbulent countries in the arc of instability on Europe’s periphery are increasingly the cause. We need versatile armed forces that are capable of fulfilling their constitutional tasks, and this requires investment. In a rapidly changing world order, the Netherlands must make a relevant contribution alongside its allies in order to deal with the international security threats we face. In our own region we will work more closely with our European allies. • The government will substantially increase its investment in the Defence organisation by allocating additional resources that will eventually exceed €1.5 billion per year. Basic readiness levels will be restored, operational readiness will be increased and funding for the necessary investment in replacing and upgrading materiel will be made fit for the future. • The government will propose ways to increase the predictability and shock-resistance of the Defence materiel budget, such as a specific price index or a structural solution for fluctuations in currency values. • The government will draw up a security strategy for dealing with domestic and foreign threats, including terrorism, to replace the current International Security Strategy. It will also periodically update the Defence White Paper, taking into account the planning processes of NATO and the EU, as well as the strategic choices of key allies. The Defence White Paper will form the basis of long-term decision-making on the acquisition and necessity of major weapon systems. To increase the armed forces’ flexibility and operational readiness, the concept of adaptive armed forces will be fleshed out in detail during this government’s term of office. • International military missions will be underpinned by an integrated foreign policy and security strategy. Decision-making processes must take into account the need to be able to sustain military missions of sufficient scope for longer periods. The investment in the armed forces is intended in part for this purpose. • The government will focus on furthering bilateral and European cooperation on the joint procurement of materiel, on setting up training and education courses together with partners, and on pooling existing materiel. • The governmen...

Defence. The Coalition will implement defence policy in close interdepartmental cooperation so that the Czech Army’s defence capacity meets the requirements of national security interests both in the Czech Republic and beyond, in close cooperation with NATO allies. The Czech Republic’s NATO membership constitutes an essential pillar of its security and defence policy. The Coalition will support the further development of the European Union’s defence capabilities, particularly as part of EU civil crisis management capacity. In addition to building defence capacity, the Ministry of Defence will place a stress on the completion and optimization of the Czech Republic’s Integrated Rescue System, with maximum emphasis on protecting the lives and health of the population and property in case of natural disaster or technological accident. In the context of the above objectives, and following approval of the new NATO Strategic Concept by heads of state and government at the Lisbon Summit in autumn this year, the Coalition will amend the system of national strategic documents – the Security Strategy of the Czech Republic – and will subsequently develop a new Defence Strategy of the Czech Republic. The Ministry of Defence will accelerate work on the adoption of a new service law (the Act on the Service of Professional Soldiers), which will create conditions for the stabilization of personnel in the armed forces, codify the conditions for their career prospects and create conditions for adequate social security. The Ministry of Defence, in accordance with the current construction requirements of the armed forces and with regard to source opportunities, will optimize the organizational structure of the Ministry of Defence and the system for the command and control of the armed forces at all levels. The resulting structures and systems, in terms of their essential scope and functionality, will be consistent with the requirements arising from our NATO membership and generally binding legislation of the Czech Republic, and must be proportionate to the current size of the Czech Army. Structural changes in the Czech Army must be geared towards national military policy ambitions, particularly with regard to their actually envisaged scope and method predicted for the deployment of forces. The Ministry of Defence will ensure a gradual increase in deployable forces in line with obligations stemming from NATO membership. The Coalition respects the fact that, as a member of NATO and the E...
Defence. ✓ The kernel of the Czech Republic’s defence lies in its NATO membership. ✓ We shall actively contribute to the EU’s common security and defence policy. ✓ The Czech Republic shall continue to build defence capabilities which, if necessary be used for both the military and civilian operations and missions of NATO, the EU or the UN, which shall hold the necessary mandate. ✓ We shall stabilise the budget and staffing situation within the Czech Army. We recognise that maintaining our commitment to the collective defence of NATO and ensuring stability and security in our immediate EU neighbourhood in a situation where US engagement is contracting will require stronger national defence capabilities. This will require changes in the way the defence sector is financed. ✓ Therefore, we shall introduce a new method of budget planning within the Ministry of Defence, taking the form of multi-year budget outlooks approved by the Government and the Chamber of Deputies. This will enable us to link the allocation of resources to a medium- term defence planning system, safeguarding a more stable and predictable environment for the development of military capabilities and the procurement of military equipment, and therefore enhancing efficiency. ✓ We shall protect and defend Czech airspace with our own resources. ✓ In order to achieve maximum efficiency while making sure that we comply with the law, we shall revise the public procurement system in the defence sector and shall provide maximum assistance in investigations into suspicious past orders. ✓ We shall strive to build shared capacities, forces and resources for the main components of the security system (the army, the police, and the fire brigade) in order to achieve maximum effectiveness in the prevention and elimination of the consequences of catastrophes and natural disasters. ✓ We shall reconsider the optimisation of military districts.
