Biden and Modi to make progress on GE jet engines, nuclear - White House

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The White House expects to see meaningful progress on GE jet engines and civil nuclear technology in upcoming bilateral talks between U.S. President Joe Biden and India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Thursday.

Earlier this year, the aerospace unit of General Electric (GE.N) announced it had signed an agreement with India's state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics (HIAE.NS) to jointly make engines in India to power fighter jets for the Indian Air Force.
