New Delhi: Prime Ministers of India and the United Kingdom are launching a new ‘Technology Security Initiative’ (TSI) to elevate the strategic partnership between the two countries to the next level. ANI tweeted about this on Wednesday.

The TSI builds upon the ambitious bilateral cooperation agenda set out in the India-UK Roadmap 2030 and will bring into sharper focus collaboration in critical and emerging technologies (CET) across priority sectors. It will reinforce existing collaborative efforts in various technologies, broaden the mandates of existing mechanisms, and establish new mechanisms for cooperation: MEA said in a statement.

This has been undertaken reportedly after recognising the increasing role of technology in national security and economic development.

The TSI will be coordinated by the National Security Advisors (NSAs) of both countries through existing and new dialogues.
