Tokyo (Japan), May 24 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended an invitation to American defence companies to set up manufacturing units in India, said Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra on May 24. Addressing a Press Conference, he said, “PM Modi extended a warm and strong invite to the US industry to come to India and participate in co-development, co-design, and co-manufacturing under ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’. The focus was on defence manufacturing in India.” On being asked about China’s activities and other related questions in connection with discussions on the Indo-Pacific by the Quad leaders, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said, “The discussion agenda was constructive, cooperative and forward-leaning. They discussed challenges and opportunities that are there in the Indo-Pacific but specific actions would perhaps appear in bilateral discussions individually. Quad was focused on forward-leaning partnerships.”
