“Look forward to continuing our engagements to implement the bilateral defence and defence industrial cooperation agenda,” Kwatra said.
In October last year, India and the US signed a 10-year defence cooperation agreement. The pact seeks to expand joint operational coordination, intelligence sharing across space and cyberspace, and defence-industrial cooperation.
