Washington DC, April 12: In a bid to strengthen the defense relationship between both countries, India and United States, has inked a bilateral space situational awareness arrangement to boost tech partnership.
The agreement was signed by officials of the two countries on the sidelines of the India-US 2+2 ministerial here co-hosted by Austin along with the Secretary of State Tony Blinken.
At the conclusion of the summit, Austin told reporters, “I’m pleased to announce that just a few moments ago, we signed a bilateral space situational awareness arrangement, and this will support greater information sharing and cooperation in space."
“We’re also deepening our cooperation in cyberspace, including through training and exercises later this year. And we’re expanding our information sharing partnership across all warfighting domains,” US Defence Secretary added.
The two countries, he said have important commitments today that will drive technological innovation and cooperation in emerging defence domains, including space and cyberspace. “For example, we’re committed to launching new defence space exchanges later this year between our Space Command and India’s Defence Space Agency,” he said.
