Indian Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi, who was in the US recently as part of the continuation of high-level military-to-military exchanges between India and America, was inducted into the International Hall of Fame of the US Army War College in Pennsylvania.
General Dwivedi, a distinguished fellow of the US Army War College, is the third Indian Army chief to receive such an honour after General V. K. Singh and General Bikram Singh.
"#GeneralUpendraDwivedi, #COAS, visited the Army War College (AWC), Carlisle Barracks, #USA, where he was inducted into the International Hall of Fame - the third Indian Army Chief to receive this honour, after General V K Singh and General Bikram Singh," the Indian Army said in a social media post.
During his visit, the Indian Army chief also addressed the faculty and international student officers' leadership, professional military education and evolving security dynamics.
Earlier this week, the Army chief began his US visit in Hawaii, where he was accorded a Guard of Honour at Fort Shafter, the headquarters of the United States Army Pacific.
General Dwivedi held discussions with General Ronald P. Clark, Commanding General, USARPAC, and other senior leaders, "focusing on strengthening India-US defence cooperation and advancing a shared vision for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific", the Indian Army said.
The Army chief's visit comes close on the heels of the visits of Air Chief Amar Preet Singh and Navy chief Dinesh Tripathi to the US, marking the continuance of high-level military-to-military exchanges between India and the US.
