US Assistant Secretary of State S Paul Kapur has said the United States and India are broadening cooperation in defence and civil nuclear energy, with a focus on trusted artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies that are driving economic growth. He made the remarks during a roundtable on India at the Hoover Institution, attended by former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former US Ambassador to India David C Mulford.
The two countries signed a framework last year to advance their major defence partnership, aimed at enhancing interoperability across land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. Since 2002, India has inducted a range of US-origin defence platforms into its armed forces, including Apache and Chinook helicopters, C-17 and C-130J transport aircraft, P-8I maritime patrol aircraft, and M777 howitzers.
US nuclear power companies are also looking to expand their presence in India's civil nuclear sector. Earlier this year, a delegation of senior executives from the US nuclear industry visited India to explore collaboration opportunities with the private sector after New Delhi eased liability provisions through the enactment of the SHANTI Act.
