The Tenth Chiefs' Conclave commenced in New Delhi today. The event is being conducted from February 27 to 28, 2026. The Conclave is being attended by former Chiefs of the Army Staff and Honorary Generals of the Indian Army from the Nepali Army.
The participation of Honorary Generals from Nepal reflects a globally unique and landmark military tradition, symbolising the exceptional and enduring India-Nepal military relationship based on mutual trust, shared values and a common martial heritage. This distinctive arrangement resonates with India's civilisational ethos of "Vishwabandhu" and principle of “Neighbourhood First”, underscoring India's commitment to strong, people-centric ties with its immediate neighbours.
The Conclave provides an important institutional platform for professional interaction between the present hierarchy and former Chiefs, reinforcing continuity and collective wisdom across generations.
The programme commenced with a wreath laying ceremony at the National War Memorial, followed by interactions on key issues relating to operational preparedness, capability development and contemporary security challenges. The former Chiefs will also visit select Army establishments and cultural landmarks as part of the scheduled engagements.
The Chiefs' Conclave reaffirms the Indian Army's commitment to preserving institutional memory, strengthening professional dialogue and reinforcing the enduring spirit.
