NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US vice president J D Vance reviewed and positively assessed progress in various areas of bilateral cooperation, while taking note of continued efforts towards enhancing cooperation in energy, defence, strategic technologies and other areas, the Indian readout said.
The US is looking to ramp up its defence exports to India, hoping it will help bridge its trade deficit with Delhi.
Cooperation in critical and emerging technologies, and also small and advanced modular reactors, is also on top of the Indian agenda with the US.
The two leaders also exchanged views on various regional and global issues of mutual interest and called for dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward, according to the Indian govt. There was a discussion on the situation in Ukraine and Gaza, with the PM reiterating India’s support for peace talks involving all stakeholders.
PM Modi was said to have fondly recalled his visit to the US in Feb, within weeks of Trump’s return to the White House, and his “fruitful discussions with President Trump which laid down the roadmap for close cooperation between India and the US, leveraging the strengths of Make America Great Again (MAGA) and Viksit Bharat 2047”.
The American side too recalled that during that meeting, the two leaders had reaffirmed the strength of the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and jointly launched the India-US COMPACT (Catalysing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce and Technology) for the 21st century, an initiative anchored in mutual trust, shared interests, goodwill and robust engagement of their citizens.
“Prime minister Narendra Modi extended his best wishes to the vice president, second lady and their children for a pleasant and productive stay in India,” the Indian govt said.
