Indo US Defence Ties: Jaishankar Pushes 'Make in India' Approach in Talks with Rubio The recent meeting between External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has underscored a subtle yet significant shift in the defence cooperation dynamics between India and the United States.
As the two nations continue to strengthen their partnership, Jaishankar's emphasis on incorporating the 'Make in India' approach into future defence collaborations signals a move away from mere dependence on American military aid.
This development is not surprising given the context of the 10 year major defence partnership framework agreement that was recently renewed.
