sides are also keen to expand cooperation in the maritime sphere. In June, 2021, the UK posted a liaison officer at the Indian Navy\u2019s Information Fusion Centre (IFC) which has emerged as a key hub in tracking movements of ships and other developments in the Indian Ocean region. The UK joined a select group of countries such as the US, Australia, Japan and France to depute officials at the Gurgaon-based facility. The Indian Navy established the IFC-IOR in 2018 to effectively keep track of the shipping traffic as well as other critical developments in the region under a collaborative framework with like-minded countries.\u201cThis visit is significant in terms of both optics and substance. In terms of the former, this is the first visit of India\u2019s Defence Minister to the UK in 22 years \u2013 the last visit was by then Defence Minister of a previous BJP-led government, George Fernandes, to London on 22 January 2002,\u201d said Rahul Roy-Chaudhury, Senior Fellow for South and Central Asian Defence, Strategy and Diplomacy at the London-based think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).
\nAs a defence analyst who has been championing such a visit in his high-level discussions over the years, Mr. Roy-Chaudhury believes Mr. Singh\u2019s proposed upcoming visit indicates an improvement in India\u2019s political relationship and the building of trust with the UK, following British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s visit to India for the G20 Summit in September 2023.
\n\u201cIn substantive terms, the visit will seek to deepen military cooperation and defence industrial partnerships with the UK by building on the November 2023 Defence Consultative Group (DCG) meeting in Delhi at the level of Secretaries and the inaugural meeting of the 2+2 Foreign and Defence Dialogue at the level of Joint Secretaries in October 2023,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cThe UK is no longer one of India\u2019s top five strategic partners. However, the resumption of a strong India-UK defence technological and industrial partnership could take place through the delivery of ongoing projects on aero-engines with Rolls-Royce; naval electric propulsion with GE (Naval) UK and Rolls-Royce; and ground-based air defence system with MBDA (UK),\u201d he said. \u201cDefence Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to visit one of these arms manufacturing sites during his visit to the UK,\u201d he noted.
\nIt will be a keenly watched visit, taking place against the backdrop of ongoing Indian concerns over pro-Khalistan violence in the UK as well as some contentious legacy issues on UK defence supplies to India. However, analysts believe with this opportunity for a dialogue at the ministerial level, the focus should be on the operationalisation of the Narendra Modi-led government\u2019s \u2018Make in India\u2019 and \u2018Atmanirbhar Bharat\u2019 agenda in the defence sector.
\nAs both India and the UK prepare for a general election this year, all aspects of the relationship are in sharp focus, including sped-up negotiations towards a free trade agreement (FTA) expected to significantly enhance the GBP 36-billion bilateral partnership. (Agencies)<\/p>\n
