NSA Ajit Doval and Jake Sullivan attend India-US iCET meeting in Delhi
On Monday, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval held extensive talks with his US counterpart Jake Sullivan primarily focusing on the implementation of the ambitious India-US Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET).
The two top security officials are also learnt to have deliberated upon pressing global and regional issues of mutual interest.
Sullivan, accompanied by a delegation of senior US officials and industry leaders, is on an official visit to New Delhi from June 17 to 18.
Following the launch of the iCET by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the QUAD Summit in Tokyo in May 2022, the two NSAs have driven a concerted effort to engage in identified areas of collaboration in diverse domains of new and emerging technologies, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, defence innovation, space, and advanced telecommunications.
NSA Sullivan also met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar earlier on Monday. He is also expected to call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Delighted to welcome US NSA @JakeSullivan46 in New Delhi today morning. A comprehensive discussion on a broad range of bilateral, regional and global issues,” Jaishankar said on ‘X’.
“Confident that India-US strategic partnership will continue to advance strongly in our new term,” he said.
