| US Army chief of staff General Peter J Shoomaker will be in town from Thursday to discuss ways to further strengthen the growing military relationship with India. Scheduled to meet defence minister Pranab Mukherjee, Admiral Arun Prakash, General J J Singh and Air Chief Marshal S P Tyagi, Gen Shoomaker will be briefed about India's security concerns in the neighbourhood, including continuing support by Pakistan to cross-border terrorism, sources said. After a bitter estrangement following the 1998 Pokhran-II nuclear tests, the Indo-US military-to-military engagement has grown rapidly. The two armed forces have held 35 exercises in the last five years to build "inter-operability". |
