Defence Expo Deferred.
WITC
Just before six days of inauguration by PM, the annual defence expo which was to be held in Gujrat was deferred by the government sighting logistic problems. Sources say this was probably under pressure from USA, the largest participant, not ready to participate due to the presence of Russia, the second-largest participant sources say. Approximately 121 countries were to participate in the expo. The outcome was probably due to conflict in Ukraine. Russia is the largest supplier in defence sector but sources say to reduce dependence on Russian equipment government wanted to have supplies from the USA and European countries after the expo but the chance vanished for the time being. US in a recent meeting on a very serious note advised the country to refrain from dependence and not to keep any future deal from Russia sources say. So far the country has taken a very composed and balanced stand between both the countries and would like to continue a similar stand with a single motto to solve all the problems across the table without any aggression sources say. It seems that the expo will only take place after the normalization of situations Sources say?
