The visit underscores the shared commitment of India and the Czech Republic to deepen defence relations through sustained military dialogue, professional exchanges and greater industrial collaboration.
It is expected to provide fresh momentum to bilateral military ties and expand cooperation in areas of defence modernisation, capability development and emerging technologies.
