India and Czechia are strengthening their defense and industrial ties, as evidenced by the successful conclusion of the 7th India-Czechia Joint Defence Committee Meeting held in Prague from October 7 to 9. Led by Indian Additional Secretary A. Anbarasu and Czech Director General Radka Konderlova, discussions focused on enhancing defense collaboration, including production, military training, and technology exchange. The accompanying Defence Industry Seminar encouraged participation from both nations, laying the groundwork for future partnerships. This initiative aligns with the broader India-Czechia Strategic Partnership on Innovation, initiated in January 2024, reflecting the deepening historical and strategic ties between the two democracies and underscoring their commitment to advancing defense cooperation amidst a dynamic geopolitical landscape.
