India and America have signed the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA) on Tuesday, giving a new dimension to their relationship. The momentous move was announced at a joint press conference after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Minister Mark T Espar, who visited India for the third '2 + 2' ministerial-level meeting with Indian counterparts S Jaishankar and Rajnath Singh.
After the two plus two talks, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said, "We discussed many important issues in detail." The BECA agreement with the US is an important step. ”He also reaffirmed his commitment to peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.
The agreement with the US is being considered very important for India amid months of ongoing tension between India and China over the Line of Actual Control (LAC). With the finalization of the long-pending BECA agreement to further promote bilateral defense relations, the two countries will be able to share state-of-the-art military technology, logistics, and geospatial maps.
The BECA is the last of the four fundamental agreements between India and the US, which will increase logistics and military cooperation between the two countries. The first of these was in 2002, related to the security of military information. Two other agreements were signed in 2016 and 2018 related to logistics and secure communications.
The BECA agreement is considered a milestone in the relationship between India and the US. The deal will allow India to use US geospatial maps, which will increase the accuracy of weapons, including automated hardware systems and cruise-ballistic missiles. It will also serve as the basis for India's purchase of unmanned aerial aircraft (UAVs) from the US.
These UAVs depend on US geospatial data for enemy attacks from the sky. The agreement comes at a time when India is considering purchasing 30 General Atomics MQ-9 Guardian drones from the US. Intelligence information has already been exchanged between the US and India. During an escalation with China in Doklam in 2017, the US reportedly provided intelligence to the Indian Army about the movement of Chinese troops.
