Terrorism US recognises India’s desire to produce more military equipment within country, says outgoing American envoy Juster
New Delhi: Outgoing US envoy Kenneth Juster on Tuesday said America recognises India's desires to produce more of its military equipment within the country.
"We recognize that India desires to produce more of its military equipment within the country, and the United States looks forward to our growing partnership in this effort," Juster said in his farewell address.
"As this process unfolds, India will likely need to develop certain key capabilities with the careful use of outside procurements. This is expected to include fighter aircraft, which have the potential to transform our defense industrial cooperation," he said.
Speaking on fighting terrorism, he said: "In addition, we have deepened our cooperation in the fight against terrorism, remembering that both of our countries have suffered from this scourge."
He said: "We established a U.S.-India Terrorist Designations Dialogue in 2017 to coordinate our approaches to designating individual terrorists and groups."
