The U.S. remains deeply confident in India's diversification of military equipment and believes that Washington's proposal for industrial cooperation will further integrate the defence industries of the two countries, the Pentagon has said.
Pentagon’s Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters at a news conference on June 20, that the U.S. encourages all its partners and allies to avoid transactions with Russia.
“We welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States this week. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin visited India just two weeks ago and was able to meet with his counterpart Rajnath Singh, there. What we always will continue to urge our allies and partners around the world is to avoid transactions with Russia,” she said, referring to the sanctions imposed on Moscow.
