VISAKHAPATNAM: The future is bright with regard to building of the interoperability between Indian and American forces as they move forward with greater sharing of network and technologies, said Admiral Samuel J Paparo, Commander of the US Pacific Fleet.
Admiral Paparao was in Visakhapatnam to participate in the eleventh edition of Milan being hosted by Eastern Naval Command. Speaking to TOI on the sidelines of Milan seminar on the premises of Milan village, Paparo said that the US and India are actively sharing defence technologies such as MH60 Romeo choppers.
He emphasised on the need for respecting maritime democracy, international rule-based order and concepts of sovereignty and freedom of seas.
“This Milan conference has also emphasised on Quad discussions between the United States, India, Japan and Australia. The Quad is a shining example when we talk about great maritime powers such as Japan, India, Australia and the United States,” said Paparo.
