More than a month ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington, India and the US on Wednesday held extensive talks focusing on operationalising their ‘Major Defence Partnership’ and co-development of military platforms.
تقویت همکاری های صنعتی دفاعی، به اشتراک گذاری فناوری های حیاتی و انجام تحقیقات بلندمدت مشترک نیز محور هفدهمین نشست گروه سیاست دفاعی هند و آمریکا (DPG) بود که در واشنگتن برگزار شد.
The two sides also deliberated on operationalising the ‘Major Defence Partnership’ and ways to improve supply chain security at the 17th meeting of India-US DPG that was held in Washington.
“The two sides reviewed the progress made in furthering defence industrial cooperation and operationalising the India-US major defence partnership,” the defence ministry said.
In June 2016, the US designated India a “Major Defence Partner” paving the way for sharing of critical military equipment and technology.
Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane and US Under Secretary of Defence for Policy Colin Kahl co-chaired the DPG meeting. In a statement, the ministry described the talks as “cordial and productive”.
“Important aspects such as military-to-military cooperation, implementation of foundational defence agreements, exercises and the ongoing and future cooperative activities in the Indian Ocean Region were discussed,” it said.
این وزارتخانه گفت تمرکز قابل توجهی بر راه‌ها و ابزارهای تقویت همکاری‌های صنعتی دفاعی، از جمله مشارکت فناوری، تحقیق و توسعه بلندمدت و بهبود امنیت زنجیره تامین داده شده است.
“The meeting also discussed promoting co-development and co-production in India including potential areas and projects where Indian and US defence companies could work together,” it said.
در این بیانیه آمده است که دو طرف توافق کردند که ذینفعان خصوصی و دولتی را به استفاده از اکوسیستم‌های نوآوری و ترویج استارت‌آپ‌های دفاعی تشویق کنند.
The DPG is the apex official-level mechanism between India’s defence ministry and US department of defence. It comprehensively reviews and guides all aspects of bilateral defence cooperation with a focus on policy.
The Indo-US defence ties have been on an upswing in the last few years. The two countries have inked key defence and security pacts over the past few years, including the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) in 2016 that allows their militaries to use each other’s bases for repair and replenishment of supplies.
دو طرف همچنین COMCASA (توافقنامه سازگاری و امنیت ارتباطات) را در سال 2018 امضا کردند که قابلیت همکاری بین دو ارتش را فراهم می کند و فروش فناوری پیشرفته از ایالات متحده به هند را فراهم می کند. در اکتبر 2020، هند و ایالات متحده توافقنامه BECA (توافقنامه مبادله و همکاری اساسی) را برای تقویت بیشتر روابط دفاعی دوجانبه امضا کردند. این پیمان به اشتراک گذاری فناوری نظامی پیشرفته، لجستیک و نقشه های جغرافیایی بین دو کشور را فراهم می کند.
