Chennai: After enhancing interoperability of its navies through regular exercises, the United States is looking at a possibility of joint air force exercises.
US Ambassador to India Richard R Verma said that United States would like India to take part in the US air force's Exercise Red Flag and that India and US coming together in the region would only enhance peace.
Talking to the media in the city, after returning from a visit to the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt to observe Exercise Malabar in the Bay of Bengal, on Sunday, Richard Verma said that the level of cooperation demonstrated by the navies could be replicated by the air forces too.
Reacting to a question on the concern raised by Pakistan on the India, US and Japan partnership for naval exercises, Verma said that "India-US defence relationship stands by itself. The real impact of the US and India, which share democratic values, coming together will be an increase in peace and prosperity."
