SS: Britain said on Wednesday it had launched a new technology security initiative with India aimed at boosting economic growth, fostering collaboration on telecoms security and unlocking investment in emerging technologies. The British government said the agreement would see the two countries work more closely together on critical technologies including semiconductors, quantum and AI. “This will mean real action together on the challenges of the future from AI to critical minerals. Together we can unlock mutual growth, boost innovation, jobs and investment,” British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in a statement released by his office during a visit to India. Lammy, who met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India’s Minister for External Affairs earlier on Wednesday, also agreed to work more closely with India on tackling climate change, including mobilising finance and accelerating a partnership on off-shore wind and green hydrogen.
At first glance, without knowing the real content and reach, speaking early on to India appears a sound move by the new UK government.
Gives the air of dependency free relations
Gives potential to improve the Indian educational narrative towards the UK
Acknowledges the need to cast a wider natural resource and science network
Acknowledges the potential interrelationship given populace and familial movement between the two areas
– depending on the true scope, regarding the technology mentioned, this could be outreach by senior partners of or more simply the US. Given the defence agreements with her allies regarding sharing of semiconductor and ai technologies.
If the final remark is the true driving factor then, as before the election, in the mid to long-term, the UK as with the rest of Europe, must plot its alliances carefully to stand on the right side of the century.
