India’s National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval and the American NSA Jake Sullivan met in New Delhi on June 13 and discussed regional and global issues of mutual relevance, a press note issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) informed.
Later, Mr. Sullivan, who is on a two-day India visit, attended a round table on ‘Advancing India-U.S. Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET)‘ organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), where he said that India and the U.S. will “diversify global semi-conductor supply chains”.
“The U.S. and India are poised to lead in clean energy transformation, shore up and diversify global semi-conductor supply chains and supply chains in other critical goods, and lead the revolution in AI (Artificial Intelligence), advanced computing, biotech, and quantum computing. We are trying to remove barriers to collaboration on both sides. The question that we are asking is what are those things that are standing in the way of our ability to maximise the full potential of our cooperation,” Mr. Sullivan said during the second Track 1.5 dialogue on iCET, where Mr. Doval and the U.S. Ambassador Eric Garcetti were present.
