At #ASEANIndiaDTTF , Ms @simranwalia10 delivered the Vote of Thanks, expressing gratitude to the speakers, delegates, participating think tanks from ASEAN nations, the DG @SujanChinoy and DDG of @IDSAIndia , and every member of the @IDSAIndia family for their valuable contributions to the successful organisation of the ASEAN India Defence Think Tank Forum and the strengthening of India-ASEAN relations.
Dr @SamRajiv , Research Fellow, @IDSAIndia , underscored that India is emerging as a key node in global defence supply chains, with OEMs such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Dassault Aviation and Thales integrating Indian firms into their production networks. Now, Indian firms and MSMEs are expanding their manufacturing capabilities, creating new opportunities for ASEAN countries to deepen defence industrial collaboration with Indian enterprises.
