During a meeting between Defence Minister A K Antony and US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, India also informed the US that its bilateral defence relations should grow from seller-buyer to a comprehensive cooperation rooted in transfer of technology and co-production of equipment and weapons.
Indicating its hesitation in going ahead with certain defence agreements as a precursor to significant defence co-operation, it stressed that these pacts, including Communication Inter-operability and Security Memorandum of Agreement (CISMOA), being pushed by US, would have to be studied for their benefits before signing them.
