Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan at the White House in Washington and deliberated on the evolving geopolitical situation and certain key regional security issues.
Both leaders also discussed the ongoing defence industrial collaboration projects between India and US, and potential areas where the industries of the two countries could work together, an official statement said.
Moreover, Singh also interacted with senior leaders of the US defence industry at a roundtable organised by US India Strategic Partnership Forum in Washington, DC. The round-table was attended by a large number of US defence and technology companies.
Rajnath Singh emphasised that India welcomes US investment and technology collaboration, and is ready with a skilled human resource base, robust pro-FDI and pro-business ecosystem, and a large domestic market.
India looks forward to closely working with US across the domains of defence for capability building and for an abiding technology and industrial partnership that can address emerging challenges, he added.
Later, the Defence Minister briefly met a delegation from US India Business Council.
