Indo-US jt statement |
India and US resolved to be “priority partners” in the Asia Pacific, and in the Indian Ocean region.Noting that US-India defence relationship can be an anchor of stability, and given the increasingly strength of the defence cooperation, the US recognised India as a “Major Defence Partner” — it will continue to work toward facilitating technology sharing to a level commensurate with that of its closest allies and partners. India will receive licence-free access to a wide range of dual-use technologies in conjunction with its commitment to advance export control objectives. In support of ‘Make In India’, the US will continue to facilitate export of goods and technologies, consistent with US law, for projects, programmes and joint ventures. New Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) working groups will include items covering naval systems, air systems, and other weapons systems. The leaders emphasised that cyberspace enables economic growth and development, and reaffirmed their commitment to an open, interoperable, secure, and reliable Internet, underpinned by the multistakeholder model of Internet governance. They committed to deepen cooperation on cybersecurity and welcomed the understanding reached to finalise the framework for the US-India Cyber Relationship.
