As India goes ahead with its plan to modernise the armed forces, US has pitched for India to buy defence equipment from American companies.
"We think we have the finest military hardware in the world, and if India is upgrading its defense capabilities, they should buy American," State Department spokesman, P J Crowley told reporters in response to a question on the meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defence
Minister A K Antony at the Foggy Bottom headquarters.
"I believe our understanding is that some of those decisions are coming up fairly soon. But this is an Indian process, but we're pleased that US companies are competing," said Crowley, according to whom the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues including Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The current situation in Kashmir did not come up during the talks as US, despite repeated pressure from Pakistan, considers Kashmir a domestic issue for India.
