The Pentagon has said that the Indo-US defence relationship is on an excellent path and will continue to be so in the next administration and beyond. Pentagon statements came days ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said, the Defence secretary Ashton Carter’s commitment to India-US defence relationship is clear.
Carter is the only American defence secretary to have so many trips to India and included New Delhi in his farewell overseas trip as well. In his previous capacity, Carter was instrumental in the path-breaking India US Defence
Technology and Transfer Initiative, under which the two
countries have started several joining development and co-production projects.
