Shri Rajnath Singh emphasised that Indian and EU defence industries must synergise their efforts for larger global good. It complements India\u2019s vision of\u00a0Aatmanirbhar Bharat<\/em>\u00a0while aligning with the EU\u2019s pursuit of strategic autonomy. The partnership will become a force multiplier by integrating supply chains for building trusted defence ecosystems and future-ready capabilities. He said that India\u2019s defence industry can play a meaningful role in the EU’s \u2018ReArm initiative\u2019, especially when EU is seeking to rapidly diversify suppliers and de-risk dependencies.

Ms Kaja Kallas expressed gratitude to be a part of India\u2019s 77th<\/sup>\u00a0Republic Day celebrations, especially the EU presence in the parade at Kartavya Path. She stated that India and EU must work together in the Indian Ocean Region and learn from each other\u2019s best practices through joint exercises. The Raksha Mantri welcomed EU proposal of positioning a Liaison Officer (LO) at the Indian Navy\u2019s Information Fusion Centre-Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) in Gurugram. The EU LO at IFC-IOR would enhance operational coordination with the Indian Navy in counter-piracy and assessment of the threats in the Indian Ocean Region.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
