Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday 12 Sep said India's aim is to
unite and move forward with other nations at a time when some countries are at
war with each other.
Speaking at 'Tarang Shakti' -- the largest
multilateral air exercise in India underway here -- Singh also called upon
friendly nations to elevate their partnership and collaboration to new heights
in view of the evolving global challenges. "While countries today are indulging in wars,
India aims to unite and move forward together," he said.
Singh's remarks come in the backdrop of calls for India's potential role
in pushing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine as New Delhi has good
relations with both the nations
The defence minister also noted that India is becoming
largely self-reliant in areas like light combat aircraft, sensors, radars, and
electronic warfare.
