More than a month before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington, India and the US had comprehensive talks on Wednesday focused on operationalizing their Major Defence Partnership and co-development of military platforms. The 17th meeting of the India-US Defence Policy Group (DPG) in Washington also focused on increasing defence industry cooperation, sharing key technology, and conducting cooperative long-term research. At the 17th India-US DPG meeting in Washington, the two sides also discussed how to operationalize the Major Defence Partnership and how to improve supply chain security.
The DPG meeting was co-chaired by Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane and US Under Secretary of Defence for Policy Colin Kahl. The ministry praised the meetings as amicable and productive in a statement.

According to the ministry, significant emphasis was placed on ways and means to improve defence industry cooperation, such as technological partnerships, long-term research and development, and enhancing supply chain security.
