US consul general in Chennai, Judith Ravin, and defence attaché Rear Admiral Michael Baker were also present during the occasion. Terming the event “a red-letter day” for the Indian shipbuilding industry and the IndoUS defence relationship, Kumar said, “We are pleased to welcome US Navy ship to India. . . India’s initiative also assumes special significance in furthering the strategic partnership between India and the US. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for deeper engagements. ” “Today, India has six major shipyards with a turnover of nearly $2 billion. We are making ships not only for our own requirements. We have our own design house capable of making all kinds of state-of-the-art ships. ,” he said. With an eye on China, the defence secretary said the India-US ties have been expanding in scale and scope, based as they are on “the common values and beliefs of an open, inclusive and rule-based order in Indo-Pacific and rest of the global common systems”. There has been a tremendous amount of traction in the defence industry cooperation over the last few years between the two countries. “Indian defence exports have seen a massive increase in the last four-five years. Exports, which were worth about Rs 1,500 crore in 2015-16, have now grown by 800% to Rs 13,000 crore. A major destination for Indian exports is the US,” Kumar said. US consul general Ravin called it a new chapter in the Indo-US relationship, signifying the deepening bonds between the two nations.</ins></div></td></tr>
