India and UK conduct 25th Defence Consultative Group meeting

The twenty-fifth round of the institutional defence dialogue reviewed cooperation between the two countries.

India and the United Kingdom conducted the 25th meeting of their Defence Consultative Group. The DCG is an institutional dialogue through which both sides review defence cooperation and discuss ways to strengthen their strategic and military relationship. The occurrence of the 25th meeting shows that the mechanism is longstanding rather than a one-time event. For HSSC, the safest high-value facts are the ordinal number—25th—the partner country, the United Kingdom, and the defence-cooperation context. Also remember that the United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and its capital is London. This item belongs to international relations and defence current affairs, not to a military exercise or a treaty.
