Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, during a press briefing on Tuesday, highlighted the strong military-to-military relationship and effective communication between India and the US. Singh said, “We have a great military-to-military relationship with India, good communications. We’re going to continue to monitor what’s happening in the region, but I don’t have more to share on any updates.” Addressing the anticipation of a high-level visit from India, she said, “I don’t have any visits to read out from officials from the Indian Government. At least here at the department. I can’t speak for other officials across the interagency.” In response to a query about the Pentagon’s stance on the post-election scenario in Pakistan, Singh commented, “Yeah, we’re certainly monitoring what’s happening there, but I’d direct you to state for more specifics on that
The wife of one of the ex-Indian Navy personnel freed by Qatar said that external affairs minister S Jaishankar had promised to bring them back to India and the Narendra Modi government kept its promise. In a major diplomatic breakthrough, India secured the release of eight jailed former Navy personnel and seven of them returned home on Monday nearly three-and-half months after they were handed death sentences by a Qatari court, subsequently commuted to varying jail terms. Mansa Vashisht, wife of Captain Saurabh Vashisht, recalled the time when her husband, along with seven others, were sentenced to death by a Qatari court. “It is difficult for me to describe the time. There was a lot of uncertainty. I was staying in Doha the whole time and was allowed to meet him for a very short time,” she told PTI.
