New Delhi, September 28 (Daily Kiran) : In New Delhi, Indian Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh recently held a meeting with a U.S. delegation led by Brian Mast, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This bipartisan delegation discussed several important topics, focusing on reinforcing the rapidly evolving India-U.S. comprehensive global strategic partnership.
A key area of discussion was defense industrial and technological cooperation. Both parties explored ways to enhance collaboration in the defense sector, share technological capabilities, and strengthen partnerships between the defense industries of both nations. Over the past few years, defense cooperation between India and the U.S. has seen significant expansion.
The discussions emphasized military collaboration, defense production, co-development, co-production, and cooperation in emerging defense technologies. Both countries have previously committed to advancing cooperation in areas such as jet engines, military equipment, and ground mobility systems under the India-U.S. defense industrial collaboration framework.
Regular dialogues continue in the field of defense technology between the two nations. In February 2026, a meeting of the India-U.S. Joint Technical Group focused on significant and emerging defense technologies, joint research and development, and increasing participation from defense laboratories and industries.
The visit of the U.S. delegation, led by Brian Mast, comes at a time when both countries are actively discussing the future direction of their extensive strategic partnership. Recently, Mast also met with Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, where they addressed issues such as energy security, counter-terrorism, and freedom of maritime navigation. The meeting between Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh and the U.S. delegation reflects the ongoing high-level dialogue aimed at advancing India-U.S. cooperation in the defense industry and technology sectors.
