"The defense cooperation between India and Armenia is on the rise." "India Narrative" (VIDEO)
The India Narrative newspaper wrote, "It is expected that the defense cooperation between India and Armenia will improve. Last week, the visit of the RA high-ranking delegation to Gujarat at "DefExpo 2022" was highlighted."
RA Defense Minister Suren Papikyan, during a meeting with his counterpart, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, referred to the possibilities of expanding military and military-technical cooperation between the two countries.
The newspaper writes, "Since Turkey and Pakistan support Azerbaijan, Yerevan wants to build a strong strategic partnership with New Delhi. It started with India supplying Armenia with four Swathi Weapon Locating Radars (WLR), developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization in 2020 at $40 million."
Cooperative partnerships have taken many other forms as both countries work to expand trade through the North-South International Transport Corridor using Iran's Chabahar port, which India uses.
Landlocked Armenia is a vital member of the massive pan-Eurasian transport network and has shown great interest in using the Chabahar port, which India seeks to include in the North-South framework.
