NEW DELHI (AP) — India and France have discussed future collaboration and co-production of defense equipment during a visit by the French defense minister. Florence Parly and her Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh expressed their commitment to increase defense cooperation in all domains. Parly said in an interview with The Times of India newspaper ahead of Friday’s talks that she would reiterate France’s commitment to offer the best of its defense technology with a high “Make in India” component. France describes India as its main partner in the Indo-Pacific region shaken by concerns over the growing influence of China.
