India and Thailand Friday agreed to build partnership in defense, maritime security and combating terrorism, said officials.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with visiting Thailand Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha here and the two leaders agreed to enhance cooperation in these fields.

"The partnership between India and Thailand will be shaped by sharing of expertise and experiences, greater staff exchanges and more exercises, cooperation on counter-piracy on seas, deeper engagement in naval patrolling, and building linkages in the field of defense research and development and production," Modi told a press conference after his meeting with the Thai prime minister.

The two leaders also agreed to cooperate in tourism, cyberspace security and connectivity with neighbors like Myanmar. Endit
