British Chief of Defence Staff Tony Radakin China Systemic Competitor UK And India Value Territorial Integrity Sovereignty

ABP News  

The Chief of Defence Staff of the UK, Admiral Tony Radakin, has said Britain and New Delhi share the same values of territorial integrity and sovereignty, and that his country views China as a “systemic competitor”. Addressing a select group of journalists Wednesday before leaving for the UK, Admiral Radakin said the UK is keen on collaborating with India by way of sharing of sensitive technology on jet engines as well as maritime electric propulsion to bolster India’s maritime domain awareness. CDS Radakin also said the UK plans to cooperate closely with India as it begins to increase its presence in the Indian Ocean with a permanent deployment of ‘Amphibious Response Groups’ under the Indo-Pacific framework. Admiral Radakin said there are “lots of ways” in which the UK can contribute towards India’s drive for ‘Make in India’ in the defence sector.
