Pentagon signs defense deal with India
New Delhi has also been a long-time defense partner of Moscow
India and the United States have signed an agreement to supply each other with resources critical for national security, the US Department of Defense (DOD) has announced.
The Pentagon and India’s Ministry of Defense have entered a bilateral, non-binding Security of Supply Arrangement (SOSA), the DOD announced in a statement on Thursday.
“The Arrangement will enable both countries to acquire the industrial resources they need from one another to resolve unanticipated supply chain disruptions to meet national security needs,” it reads.
The agreement was signed during Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s official visit to Washington, where he met with his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin. The Pentagon described the SOSA as “a pivotal moment” in the defense partnership between the US and India.
