Why does this type of attack happen?
The purpose of such visits is that foreign ambassadors and diplomats often visit command headquarters and military bases of the Indian Army. This is not a new thing. Such visits strengthen the defense cooperation between the two countries. Defense partnership between India and America is growing rapidly. Both countries do joint military exercises. Apart from these, they buy and sell weapons. They also share intelligence information. Through such visits, the armies of both the countries understand each other better.
