Puneet Talwar to join Chuck Hagel during India visit
"In New Delhi, Assistant Secretary Talwar will join Secretary of Defense Hagel for discussions with senior officials on security cooperation and defense trade," the US State Department said in a statement on Tuesday.
"This visit follows the fifth U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue, co-chaired by Secretary Kerry and India’s Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj," it said.
It said the United States and India have significantly broadened their defense cooperation, as demonstrated by our bilateral dialogues, military exercises, military personnel exchanges, and nearly $9 billion in defense trade since 2008.
The Bureau of Political-Military Affairs supports the Department of Defense’s U.S.-India Defense Trade and Technology Initiative, and seeks opportunities to expand peacekeeping, counter-piracy, and security cooperation, it said.
