The second Joint Defence Cooperation meeting between India and Ethiopia was held in Addis Ababa on 28 September 2026, co-chaired by a Joint Secretary of India's Ministry of Defence and Ethiopia's Director General for Defence Foreign Relations and Military Cooperation. The two countries discussed military training, joint exercises, medical cooperation, peacekeeping and defence industries, and agreed to explore joint ventures in defence production alongside exchanges of personnel and delegations. The mechanism was set up through a Defence Cooperation memorandum signed in February 2025, and the first JDC meeting was held in New Delhi in October 2025, with the bilateral relationship elevated to a Strategic Partnership during the Indian Prime Minister's visit to Ethiopia in December 2025.
