Well, you have a defence attache here, that's a step forward. Your Defence Minister has been here, our defence people have exchanges with you. So friendly relations at the military level are already in existence.

Sellapan Ramanathan

I am saying this with a certain sense of confidence and not arrogance. The defence ministry is being run without any middleman and in a transparent way. We have proved that defence procurement can happen without middlemen.

Nirmala Sitharaman

It is the duty of the Defence Ministry and the forces to keep India safe.

Nirmala Sitharaman

The spirit of sacrifice and selflessness of the defence forces is an inspiration for all Indians. Strong armed forces are necessary for an atmosphere of peace, amity, harmony and brotherhood in the country.

Narendra Modi

If the basis of trust between the Prime Minister and her Defence Secretary no longer exists, there is no place for me with honour in such a Cabinet.

Michael Heseltine

It is a significant gamble to assume that troops in our U.K. Armed Forces would volunteer for a Scottish Defence Force.

Philip Hammond

Ten years ago U.S. defence investment represented almost half of all defence expenditure in the whole alliance. Today it is 75%. This increasing economic gap may also lead to an increasing technology gap which will almost hamper the inter-operability between our forces.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen

We dream of a day when India is completely self-reliant in defence production & exports defence equipment worldwide.

Narendra Modi

For me, it is very important to control a situation in defence. You can always score goals, but you have to add stability in the defence.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

The thing for me is my defence: as long as my defence is in good order then I feel the rest of my game can expand from there.

Steve Smith

Scotland forms a crucial part of our Armed Forces which should not be jeopardised by rushed cuts or a rush to the exit from the U.K. Defence jobs are vital to the Scottish economy and yet independence puts thousands of jobs at risk.

Philip Hammond

The defence and air defence ministers were both replaced and more than 2,000 officers lost their jobs.

Mathias Rust

We know that defence work results in more than great defence hardware - it can drive innovation and advances in all areas of our life.

Jay Weatherill

Britain First, the English Defence League, the British National Party, and the National Front are all guilty of using British symbols and institutions (notably support for the Armed Forces) to attempt to further their own deeply objectionable beliefs.

Amber Rudd

I never expected to be Defence Secretary. It's a great privilege.

Bob Ainsworth

I do think it's strange that I get associated with Iraq more than the people who were Foreign Secretary or Defence Secretary. It's because of my closeness to Tony [Blair], which I don't regret at all. I think that was a privilege.
