He pointed out that countries friendly to India should refrain from supporting a known sponsor of terrorism.

The discussion also touched on the Netherlands’ previous military support to Pakistan, including the provision of mine-hunting vessels and offshore patrol ships.

Singh expressed concerns about ongoing collaborations between Dutch companies and the Pakistani military, particularly in naval capabilities.

In addition to addressing arms sales, the two ministers explored opportunities for enhancing bilateral cooperation in various sectors such as shipbuilding, security, artificial intelligence, and space technology.
