Day two of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's US visit was marked by a series of high-profile announcements aimed at fortifying the US-India relationship. The pledges covered an array of sectors from defence collaboration to space explorations and modifications in visa regulations. In a significant stride towards bolstering PM Modi's 'Make in India' initiative, General Electric's aerospace division declared a major collaboration with India's public sector enterprise, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). This partnership is set to produce fighter jet engines in India, a move expected to significantly enhance the capabilities of the Indian Air Force. This announcement marks a crucial step in fostering indigenous manufacturing, underlining the strengthening strategic ties between the two nations.
