IN & Boeing happy with the progress of P-8I programme

Issue: 06-2009 By Dr Vivek Lall, Vice President and India Country Head, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems

And overall, this relationship is hard proof of the growing closeness of the US and India

Boeing’s relationship with the Indian Navy has grown from the moment India fi rst expressed interest in Boeing’s P-8I, India’s new long-range maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft. The negotiations, which concluded successfully, showcased a willingness on both sides to learn about the other, to narrow and overcome any gaps of distance and culture. From Boeing’s perspective, this relationship is characterised by a sense of openness, trust and mutual respect. The Indian Navy and Boeing are happy with the progress of the P-8I programme. The Indian Navy looks forward to receiving its new aircraft and bolstering its maritime security at the same time the US Navy inducts its version of the same aircraft into its force. So I think Boeing is demonstrating its determination and, indeed, commitment to be a trusted partner in India’s defence and security. And overall, this relationship is hard proof of the growing closeness of the US and India, spoken of so elo-quently in Washington by Prime Minister (Manmohan) Singh and President (Barack) Obama.
