The United States plans to transform India into a naval logistics hub for the Indo-Pacific region.
The initiative aims to enhance maritime cooperation and bolster security ties between the two countries.
The move is part of the broader US strategy to counter China's growing influence in the region.
India's strategic location in the Indian Ocean makes it an ideal base for logistical support and operations.
The partnership will involve the establishment of naval facilities and infrastructure in India.
The agreement will enable the United States to maintain a more robust presence in the Indo-Pacific.
The initiative aligns with India's "Act East" policy, which seeks to deepen its engagement with the region.
It will also contribute to maintaining freedom of navigation and ensuring maritime security in the Indo-Pacific.
