US Air Force chief discusses ways to deepen ties with IAF

New Delhi: US Air Force Chief of Staff General David L Goldfein discussed with top military brass here ways to deepen the relationship between the two air forces through bilateral engagements, the US embassy said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the embassy said Goldfein's visit to India was part of an Indo-Pacific tour to advance "mil-to-mil" relationships in the region, and enhance and strengthen US alliances and partnerships throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
During his visit last week, Gen. Goldfein held talks Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa, Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba, Army chief Gen. Bipin Rawat and Defence Secretary Sanjay Mitra.
It said his discussions focused on ways to strengthen the strategic military-to-military partnership with India.
"During these meetings, Gen Goldfein emphasised the USAF's commitment to strengthening its relationship with the Indian Armed Forces and discussed ways that the US and India can deepen the relationship between their two air forces through bilateral engagements, exchanges and exercises," the embassy said.
