"Mr Daniel P Driscoll, US Secretary of the Army, called on General Upendra Dwivedi, COAS. The discussions focused on strengthening bilateral Defence Cooperation, deepening military-to-military engagement, and reinforcing the shared commitment of both armies to global peace and security,” the Additional Directorate General of the Indian Army said in a post on ‘X’.
Last year in November, India’s Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, visited the United States. His visit was aimed at deepening the India-US maritime partnership and advancing shared strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific region. The discussions focused on the core pillars of India-US defence cooperation.
Both the nations reviewed plans to strengthen maritime security and domain awareness, expand operational interoperability, enhance information sharing, protect sea lines of communication and undersea infrastructure, and coordinate responses to humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, search and rescue, counter-piracy, and other non-traditional security challenges.
