NEW DELHI (PTI): India and Thailand have explored possibilities of deepening defence cooperation between the two Asian countries.
Thailand's Permanent Secretary of Defence Gen Sirichai Distakul, who is in New Delhi on a three-day visit, held meetings with Defence Secretary R K Mathur and Secretary Defence Production G Mohan Kumar on Thursday.

The Asian neighbour is keen to join hands with India for manufacture of small weapons, sources said.
Gen. Distakul will be visiting an ordinance factory in Nagpur Friday, defence sources said.
The Defence Ministry is looking at engaging with Thailand and the first step was made in 2013 during a visit by then Defence Minister A K Antony.
