Author yuvamind

The relation between India and United state in the section of defence technology and trade initiatives will be the highlights of the US Air Force Secretary ' s upcoming visit to India during which she will also discuss with senior Indian officers proposals to co-produce military aircraft in India.
US AF secretary Deborah Lee James will travel to India later this month as part of a maiden visit to four Asian countries that would also take her to Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines and will discuss the circumstance in the South China sea as well as the enhancing threat of terrorism. During her visit to India, she will meet Chief of Air Staff Marshal Arup Raha and Defence Secretary G Mohan Kumar and will also discuss with her Indian counterparts proposals to co-produce aircraft in India in line with PM Narendra Modi ' s aspiring ' Make in India ' campaign. She said she will discuss defence technology and follow up on the trade initiatives, which were launched during US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter ' s visit to India in April. "I am also aware of the Prime Minister ' s push for Make in India and the importance of creating new jobs in that sector. One of the proposals would be to co-produce certain aircraft in India and that might be one example of something that will be useful from a military standpoint but also might play into the Make in India campaign," she said. James added that she also looks forward to congratulating India on the "magnificent execution" of the operation undertaken to evacuate Indian citizens from South Sudan.
