This is really a big deal as India/US military cooperation is imperative to counterbalance China's increasing dominance in the area.
July 15 (APP)- India and the United States are close to sign a military pact under which their armed forces will extend to each other logistics support.
The Indian daily “The Asian Age” reported on Sunday while quoting a Pentagon official, Lt. Gen. Jeffrey B. Kohler, the director of the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency who is visiting New Delhi as saying the draft agreement was at present before India’s Cabinet Committee on Security for clearance.
Jeffrey B. Kohler while briefing a handful of journalists on the pact said the agreement is called the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement, formerly known as the Nato Mutual Support Act.
Under this agreement the armed forces of both the countries will provide each other logistics and other support, such as food, fuel, transportation, ammunition and equipment.
