Defence Minister Rajnath Singh arrived here on Thursday on a four-day visit to the US to further boost the comprehensive global strategic partnership between the two countries.
In Washington, Singh will hold talks with Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan among others.
India's plan to procure 31 MQ-9B Predator drones, the proposed joint manufacturing of Stryker infantry combat vehicles and co-production of GE F414 engines in India are likely to figure prominently in Singh's talks with Austin, officials said in New Delhi this week.
