Taking Indo-US strategic partnership to a higher level for synergized and concerted efforts to combat the scourge of global terrorism and to bring peace and stability in the region, Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor is all set to visit USA from July 20-25.

USA and India share common core values and have convergence of views and interests on many issues that affect the world order today.

The number of bilateral agreements signed between both countries in the recent past in diverse fields including the civil nuclear deal is a testimony to our growing strategic partnership between the two.

This visit to USA by the Army Chief comes at a time when our bilateral relations are on an upswing.

During his visit General Kapoor is scheduled to interact with senior military and civilian defence hierarchy to include Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chief of Staff US Army and Commander US CENTCOM amongst others.

General Kapoor will also be visiting important training institutions and Operational Headquarters to get a glimpse of the organization, doctrinal concepts and training facilities for operational deployment of US Army in a global framework. (ANI)
