Washington: Defense trade that develops between India and the US is one of the big success stories of bilateral relations, the nomination of US President Joe Biden for the upcoming envoy to New Delhi has told parliamentarians.

After concluding four agreements that enable the main defense since 2016, the United States and India has made significant progress as MITR A main defense and America hopes to further improve sharing information, bilateral and multilateral exercises, maritime security cooperation, official exchanges, and logistical cooperation.
Responding to questions relating to human rights in India, Garcetti assured parliamentarians that he personally would speak with various stakeholders in India about this issue.

This is a two-way road about This, but I intend to be directly involved with civil society, “he said.
“There are groups that actively struggle for human rights on land in India who will get direct involvement from me.
We know that complicated democracy and we can see our own and in India, but this is the foundation of our shared values,” said Garcetti.
