We are encouraging programs like faculty and student exchange programs, joint research chapters etc. between the two nations. This will give momentum to emerging technologies to solve modern age problems. This initiative will forge closer links between government, academia, and Industry in areas of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum computing, biotech, space etc.”
