India and the UK are committed to a bilateral partnership that re-energises trade, investment and technological collaboration, the British government said.
Shapps stressed that the relationship between UK and India is not transactional, instead both countries are natural partners with many commonalities and shared goals, the Indian Ministry of Defence said of the meeting described as "very warm" with a fruitful exchange of ideas.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday met his British counterpart Grant Shapps and held "fruitful discussions" on a wide range of issues related to defence cooperation, security and also on enhancing defence industrial cooperation.
