The initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET), billed as a key facet of the India-U.S. strategic partnership, has progressed well and is moving in the right direction, says National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval. He met his visiting U.S. counterpart Jake Sullivan earlier this week and both of them attended a roundtable on iCET organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Besides government officials from both sides, the gathering included members of the academia and industry leaders who put forth their views on how this critical domain of bilateral cooperation can be advanced further. StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A.
