The Pentagon emphasized the robust military relationship between India and the United States on Thursday, just before the scheduled meeting between Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Rajnath Singh arrived in Washington Thursday morning for a four-day visit aimed at enhancing the comprehensive global strategic partnership between the two nations. He is set to meet with Austin at the Pentagon on Friday.
“The mil-to-mil relationships between the United States and India are strong,” stated Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh during a news conference.
“You’ve seen that cooperation deepen, and not just from a DOD perspective, but from an administration perspective. Our close coordination and working together remains strong. The (Defense) secretary when he visited India, you know, announced some of those deliverables,” Sabrina Singh noted in response to a question.
“I’m not going to go through all of what he announced then, but it remains strong,” she added.
