He took a detailed overview of global technology usage in the defence sector and India’s advances in the same.

Modi also emphasised on integrating the latest technology in the country's security apparatus, sources told ANI. 

The Prime Minister reiterated that every effort must be made to make India self-reliant in the defence sector so that it not only “strengthens our security but also enhances economic growth”, ANI reported.
