These strategic investments play a pivotal role in strengthening Boeing’s position as the largest foreign Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sourcing from India and establishing it as the largest site for Boeing operations outside of the United States, both in terms of manufacturing capacity, engineering, and workforce.

The convergence of mutual interest for both democracies is too obvious.
