根据提交给参议院委员会的一份关于《2026年美国国防战略》实施情况的更新报告，美国正在进一步巩固与印度的紧密防务关系。报告指出，印度在地区事务中的重要地位和影响力是推动这一合作的重要因素。美国此举旨在加强与盟友和合作伙伴之间的责任分担（即共同承担防务成本），而这正是该国防战略的核心内容之一。
The United States is building on its strong defence relationship with India, citing New Delhi's regional standing and power, according to an update on the implementation of the 2026 US National Defence Strategy submitted to a Senate committee. The reference to India came under US efforts to increase burden-sharing with allies and partners, which is a central element of the strategy. The update said the two sides had recently signed a 10-year bilateral defence framework and a separate framework to strengthen undersea cooperation.
更新报告称，双方最近签署了一份为期十年的双边防务合作框架，以及一项旨在加强海上（尤其是海底）合作的专门协议。值得注意的是，2026年发布的《国防战略》最初并未提及印度或“四方联盟”（Quad）的相关内容。
The 2026 National Defence Strategy, released in January, had made no mention of India or the Quad grouping. According to the update submitted to the Senate Armed Services Committee, "Finally, and crucially given its regional standing and power, we are also building on our strong defence relationship with India, with the recent signature of a 10-year bilateral defence framework and a separate framework to strengthen undersea cooperation."
提交给参议院军事委员会的这份更新报告还提到：“鉴于印度在地区事务中的重要地位和影响力，我们正在进一步巩固与印度的防务关系；最近双方签署了为期十年的双边防务合作框架以及加强海上合作的专门协议。”美国国防部副部长埃尔布里奇·科尔比（Elbridge Colby）在周二发布的社交媒体帖子中表示，这份战略更新已于上周提交给了相关委员会。
In a post on X on Tuesday, US Undersecretary of Defence Elbridge Colby said the update to the strategy had been submitted to the committee last week. In October last year, the United States and India signed a 10-year Defence Framework aimed at deepening military cooperation and strengthening regional security across the Indo-Pacific.
去年10月，美国与印度签署了为期十年的防务合作框架，旨在深化两国在印太地区的军事合作并提升地区安全。这项防务协议是在印度总理莫迪去年2月与美国总统特朗普在白宫会晤期间达成的。自2018年1月以来，《美国国防战略》每四年会向美国国会提交一次更新；该战略文件会包含美国军方优先任务的概述、当前的战略环境以及对美国安全的长期威胁分析。
The defence deal between India and the US was agreed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House in February last year. The National Defence Strategy has been submitted to the US Congress once every four years since January 2018 and includes an unclassified summary of the priority missions of the US military, the assumed strategic environment and enduring threats to US security. Colby said, "The Department of War has made significant progress implementing the 2026 National Defence Strategy's guidance related to the defence of the US Homeland; deterring China in the Indo-Pacific through strength, not confrontation; increasing burden-sharing with US allies and partners; and supercharging the US defence industrial base."
科尔比表示：“国防部在落实《2026年国家国防战略》的相关指导方针方面取得了显著进展。这些指导方针包括：通过展示实力而非对抗来遏制中国在印度-太平洋地区的扩张；加强与美国盟友和合作伙伴之间的责任分担；以及提升美国的国防工业基础。”他还补充说，国防部正在提升各国共同应对威胁的能力，尤其是在多个战区同时发生冲突的情况下。
He added that the Department of Defence was increasing the collective ability to deter or defeat threats to US shared interests across theatres, including in the event of simultaneous conflicts. "Far more work remains to be done, however - and congressional support will be vital to our nation's success.
不过，“仍有许多工作需要完成——国会的支持对国家的成功至关重要。最重要的是，总统提出的2027财年1.5万亿美元的预算请求，是维持自《国家国防战略》发布以来所取得进展的关键工具。”总之，这一最新进展将印度列为美国的关键合作伙伴之一，因为华盛顿希望深化与印度的防务合作并扩大与盟友之间的责任分担。（信息来源：PTI）
Above all, the president's full USD 1.5 trillion FY27 budget request is the essential vehicle for sustaining the momentum that we have built since the NDS's release," Colby said. In sum, the update places India among the key US partners as Washington seeks to deepen defence cooperation and expand burden-sharing with allies. With PTI Inputs- Ends
