New Delhi: Withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the issue of procurement of ultra light howitzers are expected to be high on the agenda of Army chief Gen Bikram Singh during his four-day visit to the US starting today.
During the three-day tour, Gen Singh would also be inducted in the US Army War College 'Hall of Fame'.
He had done a course from there in 2004, Army officials said here.
"The visit assumes special significance in the light of enhanced defence cooperation between the two countries over the last few years and rapidly increasing defence engagements under the new framework for India-US defence relations," an Army release said.
During the India visit of his US counterpart, Gen Singh had raised the issue of withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the resultant security situation in the region after that.
