Indo-US cooperation in strategic, defence areas key to regional security: Roemer |
US Ambassador to India Timothy
Roemer said here on Monday that strategic and defence co-operation between India
and US holds the key to regional security. "A strong strategic relationship between
the United States and India is crucial to address the regional security and challenges
such as maintaining peace, security, stability and responding to humanitarian
crisis and natural disaster when they occur. Strategic and defence co-operation
is one of the key pillars of our growing strategic partnership," said Roemer.
Roemer was in Agra where the U.S. and Indian Air Forces are undergoing an aerial
joint exercise session that also focuses on humanitarian assistance and disaster
relief missions. Called 'Exercise Cope India', the joint exercise began on October
15 and will conclude on October 24 at Air Force Station Agra. During the session,
Indian and American air force officials will exchange airlift, air land and airdrop
delivery techniques besides participating in aero-medical and disaster management
exercises and other flight operations. Over 150 US airmen, along with three C-130H
Hercules, one C-17 Globemaster III, and one C-130J, will join Indian Air Force
airmen for the exercise. |
