Current Affairs - Defence - Discussion

The 16th Combined Commanders’ Conference (CCC) was held in Kolkata, West Bengal, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed the preparedness and security measures of the Armed Forces. The theme for the 2025 conference was set as ‘Year of Reforms – Transformation for the Future’. The CCC, first held in 1953, is recognised as the highest-level defence dialogue forum that brings together India’s political leadership and senior military commanders. Conducted once every two years, this platform plays a key role in shaping strategic defence policies, reviewing security scenarios, and ensuring military readiness for future challenges.
