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.
ワシントンで開催された印米防衛政策グループ（DPG）の第17回会合では、防衛産業協力の強化、重要技術の共有、長期的な共同研究も焦点となった。
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.
同省は、技術提携、長期的な研究開発、サプライチェーンの安全性向上など、防衛産業協力を強化する方法や手段にかなりの焦点が当てられていると述べた。
“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.
同報告書によると、双方は民間と政府の利害関係者の双方に対し、イノベーションエコシステムの活用と防衛関連スタートアップの促進を奨励することで合意したという。
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.
両国は2018年に両軍間の相互運用性を規定し、米国からインドへのハイエンド技術の販売を規定するCOMCASA（通信互換性およびセキュリティ協定）にも署名した。 2020年XNUMX月、インドと米国は二国間防衛関係をさらに強化するためにBECA（基本的交流協力協定）協定を締結した。この協定は、両国間でハイエンドの軍事技術、兵站、地理空間地図を共有することを規定している。
