Washington: US hopes to sustain a strong relationship with the Indian military, a top Pentagon official has said. "We have and certainly hope to continue a very strong relationship with the Indian military," Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt John Kirby told reporters at a news conference.
"They are contributing to issues in Afghanistan in a very constructive way, whether it's training or economic assistance, and we certainly want to see that continue."
"I think broadly across the US government, we want to continue to pursue a close relationship with India," Kirby said.
"I mean, they (India) are a major economic power, not only in the region but in the world. They have interests in what's going on there in South and Central Asia, and we respect those interests and we want to continue that close cooperation," Kirby said in response to a question.
