PM Modi in US: "The visit has been extremely rich in form and equally, if not more, rich in substance," he said, describing the trip as "path-breaking."
Technology cooperation featured prominently in the discussion between India and the US, Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra today said, while highlighting the most substantive outcomes of the ongoing state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mr Kwatra said one theme which has run through the visit is the "exceptional warmth and hospitality" US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden extended to PM Modi.
"Very clearly, technology, in particular advanced technology, across all domains ranging from defence to space and energy is one of the most important substantive outcomes," he told reporters in a media briefing.
India and US launched public-private Joint Task Forces, one on the development and deployment of Open Radio Access Networks (RAN) -- a new approach to building the mobile networks that are needed to connect smartphones and devices to the internet and other users -- and one on advanced telecoms research and development. India's Bharat 6G and the US Next G Alliance will co-lead this public-private research.
On Quantum, Advanced Computing, and Artificial Intelligence, India and the United States have also established a Joint Indo-US Quantum Coordination Mechanism to facilitate joint research between the public and private sectors across both our countries.
