At their meeting on Monday evening, Pompeo and Jaishankar agreed the U.S.-India partnership was “critical to the security and prosperity of both countries, the Indo-Pacific region, and the world,” according to a U.S. statement. Esper and Singh discussed the expansion of information-sharing and agreed to collaborate on emerging technologies and to advance defense trade priorities.
The discussions are taking place barely a week before presidential elections in the U.S. and at a time when India, a member of the informal four-nation Quad grouping along with America, Japan and Australia, is in talks to de-escalate military tensions with Beijing.
On Tuesday the two sides will sign an agreement which will give New Delhi access to U.S. geo-spatial intelligence to help improve the accuracy of automated hardware systems, missiles and drones, according to an Indian defense ministry statement. India invited U.S. companies to invest in its defense sector touting its “liberalized policies,” according to the statement issued after talks between Esper and Singh.
