Washington: US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said that China is clearly looking to gain access to US military technology for use in its military. “We need to protect ourselves and our allies, partners, from this happening,” she said.
Raimondo visited India on March 10 for the India-US Commercial Dialogue and the India-US CEO Forum meeting.
Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that Gina Raimondo’s four-day visit to India was very successful. India and the US on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on semiconductor supply chain and innovation partnership during the India-USA Commercial Dialogue, commerce minister Piyush Goyal and US Commerce Secretary Gina M Raimondo said.
She said, “We see India as a reliable technology partner. We want to deepen our technical ties with India. In fact, we have recently launched ICET (Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies) for critical and emerging technology with India. We look forward to working more closely with India in the private sector here.”
