NEW YORK/NEW DELHI -- Taking ties to a new high, India on Thursday sealed key defense deals with the U.S. during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to Washington, including on joint production of fighter jet engines in the South Asian country.
Modi and U.S. President Joe Biden spoke with reporters after bilateral talks at the White House -- a rare press briefing by the Indian leader. "Our discussions today and the important decisions we have taken have added a new chapter to our comprehensive and global-strategic partnership," Modi said.
