‘US, India moving towards tech trust’

Apart from consolidating its defence trade with India, the US is now moving towards technology sharing and co-production, a top Pentagon official said on Wednesday. 'We're moving well beyond purely defence trade with India, towards technology sharing and co-production,' deputy secretary of defence, Ashton Carter, told a Washington think-tank. Early this year, Carter was entrusted by defence secretary, Leon Panetta}, to remove bureaucratic hurdles in defence trade with India.
