'Ambitious roadmap': India, US agree to deepen defence ties to counter China

“雄心勃勃的计划”：印度和美国同意深化防务关系以对抗中国

NEW DELHI: India and the US on Monday discussed an ambitious five-year roadmap to upgrade defence partnership — with particular focus on identifying ways to strengthen industrial cooperation — as both countries grapple with China’s economic rise and increased belligerence in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.

新德里：周一，印度和美国讨论了一份雄心勃勃的五年计划，以升级防务伙伴关系，特别侧重于确定加强工业合作的方法，两国都在努力应对中国的经济崛起及其在印太地区及其他地区日益加剧的好战行为。

US defense secretary Lloyd Austin met his counterpart Rajnath Singh in New Delhi and explored ways of building resilient supply chains and “identify opportunities for the co-development of new technologies and co-production of exsting and new systems and facilitate increased collaboration between defense startup ecosystems of the two countries", said a statement by the Indian defence ministry.

印度国防部的一份声明称，美国国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀在新德里会见了印度国防部长拉杰纳特·辛格，探讨了建立弹性供应链的方法，“确定共同开发新技术和共同生产现有及新系统的机会，并促进两国国防初创生态系统之间的合作”。

They also discussed regional security issues given their shared interest in maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

鉴于双方在维护印太地区和平与稳定方面的共同利益，双方还讨论了地区安全问题。

Defence contracts

防务合同

Austin's trip to New Delhi comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington on June 22, and has fuelled speculation about a possible announcement of defence contracts.

奥斯丁的新德里之行在印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪6月22日访问华盛顿之前，这引发了人们对两国可能宣布防务合同的猜测。

India is looking to buy 18 armed high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. for an estimated $1.5 billion to $2 billion. The UAVs would likely be deployed along its restive borders with China and Pakistan and in the strategic Indian Ocean region.

印度正寻求从通用原子航空系统公司购买18架高空长航时武装无人机，估计价值15亿至20亿美元。这些无人机可能会部署在动荡的印中和印巴边界，以及具有战略意义的印度洋地区。

Joint production and manufacture of combat aircraft engines, infantry combat vehicles, howitzers and their precision ordnance were also discussed last month in Washington at a meeting of the US-India Defense Policy Group.

上个月在华盛顿举行的美印国防政策小组会议上，还讨论了联合生产和制造战机发动机、步兵战车、榴弹炮及精密武器。

while deepenign ties with USA, India should also negotiate with USA, for not further giving arms to Pakistan as it will result in fruitless spending to counter Pakistan.

在深化与美国关系的同时，印度也应该与美国谈判，让其不要再向巴基斯坦提供武器，否则会导致印度对付巴基斯坦的努力付之东流。

Just take a look at what is happening in Ukraine. It goes without saying that the USA will also order Feku to fight China to the last Indian if he really makes a deal with the devil.

Welcome initiative between two de ocracies. But the problem is Democrat administration in US and our Opposition parties are too enamored by predatory nature of Leftist and Islamist doctrines without realizing their devastating consequences on open de ocratic societies.

欢迎两个国家之间的倡议。但问题是美国的民 主党政府和我们的反对党过于迷恋左派和教义的掠夺性，而没有意识到它们对开放民 主社会的破坏性后果。
