India and the United States will set up a joint working group in defence industrial security which will meet regularly to align policies for defence industries to collaborate on critical defence technologies.

The decision was taken at the four-day Industrial Security Agreement (ISA) summit between the two countries which concluded in New Delhi on Friday.

The summit was organised to develop protocol for the exchange of classified information between the defence industries of both the nations.

It was led by Designated Security Authorities (DSAs) – Anurag Bajpai from India and David Paul Bagnati from the US.

The ISA was signed in December 2019 to facilitate the exchange of classified information between the defence industries of both the countries.
