The agreement, signed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and US Defence Secretary Peter Hegseth in Kuala Lumpur, marks a major milestone in the evolving security partnership between the two nations.<\/p>\n

The deal, finalised on the sidelines of the ASEAN-India Defence Ministers\u2019 meeting, underscores the countries\u2019 shared strategic priorities in the region.<\/p>\n

Both sides described the framework as a roadmap to guide military and policy coordination over the next 10 years, reinforcing their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n

The 10-year \u201cFramework for the US-India Major Defence Partnership\u201d provides an institutional structure for defence cooperation, replacing earlier short-term agreements that required more frequent renewals. <\/p>\n

Rajnath Singh announced the agreement through a post on X, calling his meeting with Peter Hegseth \u201cfruitful.\u201d <\/p>\n
