At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth announced the expansion of security partnerships with India, reinforcing the QUAD alliance and launching new military initiatives like the Indo-Pacific Logistics Network. Hegseth highlighted military drills such as Tiger Triumph, growing India-US defence ties, and the need to counter China's regional assertiveness without provoking conflict. The QUAD—India, US, Australia, and Japan—will now boost coordination in logistics, defence manufacturing, and operations. Hegseth emphasized the Trump administration's foreign policy as 'common sense' and focused on national interest. As China's aggression grows, the US reiterated its unwavering commitment to allies like India and ASEAN, stating clearly: America will not be pushed out of the Indo-Pacific.#india #china #us #usindiadefence, #quadalliance, #shangriladialogue, #petespeech, #indoamericanmilitaryties, #chinaindiaus, #trumpforeignpolicy, #defencepartnership, #tigertriumph, #indopacificsecurit #toibharat
