NEW DELHI: India and the UK on Thursday reviewed their ongoing bilateral defence cooperation, noting the “excellent progress” in niche areas like electric propulsion for warships and jet engines.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh and his counterpart John Healey, in a telephonic conversation, also agreed on the need to maintain momentum in the bilateral cooperation.
“The two ministers also reviewed the ongoing programme on the exchange of military instructors in each other’s training institutes.

With the increased focus of the UK on the Indo-Pacific, both sides will explore the possibilities of joint work and enhanced maritime engagements in 2025,” an official said.
Last Sept, the two countries inked a statement of intent (SoI) on cooperation in joint design, development and production of electric propulsion systems for Indian warships. The SoI will now serve as a broader framework for electric propulsion of future naval ships.
