In a move aimed at making India – a global defence hub, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a meeting with US aerospace and defence majors Boeing & Raytheon and urged them to take advantage of the policy initiatives in India that are aimed at ‘Make in India’ and ‘Make for World’.

The defence minister is on a five-day US visit during which he will be taking part in the fourth India-US 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue.

The Office of the Defence Minister of India took to Twitter and informed that, “Rajnath Singh met with the U.S. aerospace & defence majors Boeing and Raytheon after reaching Washington DC. He exhorted the companies to take advantage of policy initiatives in India to steadily march from ‘Make in India’ towards ‘Make for the World’.”
