He noted that the defence cooperation between the two countries would strengthen the existing bond between both governments and would enhance the operational capabilities of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

He also noted that the meeting on defence collaboration marked a significant step towards fostering strategic partnership between Nigeria and India in the defence sector.

While acknowledging Nigeria’s commitment to upgrading its military-industrial complex, the minister said that the newly signed DICON bill by President Bola Tinubu would boost the joint defence cooperation.

He assured the Indian government of fastracking efforts to amend the draft Memorandum of Understanding, (MoU) between the two countries on defence cooperation.

He noted that Nigeria had remained a major participant in joint bilateral activities with India, adding that significant achievements had been made but more could still be done especially in the security sector.

According to him, collaborative cooperation is important because it will be of benefit to both countries.

Earlier, Bajpai described Nigeria as a strategic partner to India in military diplomatic relations and promised to continue to build on the existing relationship between both countries.
