CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii -- The
14th annual Indo-Pacific Intelligence Chiefs Conference (IPICC) 2022 kicked off
Sept. 5, bringing together military intelligence chiefs from across the
Indo-Pacific region in the Maldives to discuss regional issues and shared
security challenges.
The IPICC 2022 theme is
“Overcoming Global Intelligence Challenges through Partnership” and is
co-hosted with the Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) Director General for
Defence Intelligence.
“The presence of leaders in
military intelligence across the Indo-Pacific demonstrates the shared value we
place on partnerships and friendships among security minded experts,” said Rear
Adm. Mike Studeman, Director for Intelligence, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. “The
real value of this forum comes from the opportunity to discuss, debate, and
share insights about some of the most important issues of our day. There is no
greater purpose than to come together as intelligence leaders as we continue to
seek a free and open Indo-Pacific region.”
Topics for this year’s conference
included: climate change effects on regional stability and military
capabilities; terrorism and the threat of returning foreign fighters; maritime
security challenges; grey zone challenges and strategic competition.
Participants also discussed their top areas of concern as a way to strengthen
shared understanding and enhance partnerships.
“Looking ahead, we must
continue to seek innovative ways to form new partnerships via our unique
strengths and mutual desire to enhance regional security and stability. I would
like to applaud the Maldives National Defence force and United States
Indo-Pacific Command for showing initiative and resolve to bring us all
together to strengthen our partnerships despite challenges faced by the
pandemic,” stated Brigadier General Abdul Raheem Abdul Latheef, Director
General of Defence Intelligence and IPICC Co-Host.

level forum for the Directors of Military Intelligence (DMIs) from across the
