The government said today it was considering various proposals to enhance military-to-military cooperation with the US, but a proposal to appoint military liaison officers at each other's combatant commands are not part of it.
"Various proposals to enhance military-to-military cooperation with the US are under consideration. This does not currently include placement of reciprocal military liason officers," Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre said.
He was replying to a question in Lok Sabha.
Last month, Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat indicated that India and the US were deliberating on a proposal to appoint military liaison officers at each other's combatant commands.
US ambassador Kenneth Juster last month had talked about the proposal.
