    Defence Sales to India Shows Commitment to India’s Security, Sovereignty: US

    The sale of major defence equipment to India which now stands at USD 20 billion shows America’s commitment to India’s security and sovereignty, the Biden administration.

    “As of this year, the United States has authorized over USD 20 billion in defence sales to India. It’s these offers of advanced US defence platforms that demonstrate our commitment to India’s security and sovereignty,” State Department Spokesperson Ned Price told reporters.

    “It demonstrates our commitment to that global, comprehensive, strategic partnership,” he said. The spokesperson was asked if the new Biden administration is reviewing its defence deals with India as it is doing with some other countries.

    “I don’t have anything for you on pending sales or the review process for them. As I understand it, there is nothing currently on a train that India has accepted. But if there is any change in the status of pending transfers, I’m happy to let you know,” he said.

    In a recent interview with India’s Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu said Bilateral military and security ties are stronger than ever before.

    India’s designation as a ‘Major Defence Partner’ and accordance with Strategic Trade Authorization-1 Status by the US and the signing of the four foundational agreements with Washington will enhance military-to-military cooperation between the two countries, Sandhu said.

    India has signed the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA), Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA), Industrial Security Annex and the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA) to facilitate mil-to-mil cooperation, he said.
