With BECA, India Will be US’ De Facto Military Ally

India will sign a key military pact -- BECA or Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement -- with the United States.

"Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and US Defence Secretary Mark Esper confirmed the agreement of BECA will be signed during the visit," the defence ministry said, in a statement on Monday.

India and US have already signed Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA) in 2018, Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) in 2016, General Security Of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) in 2002.

BECA is the last of the four foundational agreements agreed upon, and will allow for expanded geospatial information sharing between American and Indian armed forces.

Esper and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are in New Delhi for 2+2 meet. The visit is significant given it comes amid Chinese aggression on the border and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Rajnath Singh and Esper held a bilateral meeting on Monday.

 
Seriously..... we need such alliance with a powerful country like USA..... see nobody dares to touch Taiwan, Japan, Australia New Zealand (anzus treaty) , NATO members.....

Such alliance will enable us further to reduce our already very small defense spending of 2% and concentrate on other priorities.... even if we have to compromise with secrecy and have to allow USA maintaining bases on our land then also for the sake of people welfare it's acceptable.....

Main thing will be we will permanently get rid of war threats from 2 powerful nuclear enemies on our east and west......

Great decision.....

LOL. wat ?
 
The USA has been trying to include India and few other countries of the reign to form an allied force against china. How far it will succeed depends on China. Japan is fully dependent on the USA for its defense. while Australia is already under British influence. So the only new joining country is India which has alienated from Russia to join the USA to extracts some benefits from Americans against China. India and Japan share their animosity against China. China being the economic power of the reign has trade relations with almost every country including the group formed against it. Presently china does not want to fight with any country except India. India wants to be a superpower like American in the region, so naturally, it suits Indians to get whatever possible from American against China, equipment, intelligence and training, and other economic benefits.
