A trilateral collaboration among India, Israel, and the United States in developmental area, particularly in next generation of emerging technologies, including a transparent, open, reliable, and secure 5G communication network, came into existence on September 7, 2020. The collaboration is just a tip of the iceberg, because as per US Agency for International Development (USAID), further collaborations have to take place, such as science, research, digital leadership and innovation, and development with the next generations of technologies. Besides, skill development, innovation, and entrepreneurship, water and renewable energy cooperation will be other areas of trilateral cooperation.
No doubt that Silicon Valley, Bengaluru, and Tel Aviv have all earned reputations as leading, innovative technology hubs, which can rightly play a key role in delivering the promise of 5G in a way that is open, interoperable, reliable, and secure. In today’s world, no single nation can be allowed to dominate this technology or use it to dominate other nations. Therefore, the three nations would continue to set the stage to further international development trilaterally wherever possible.
According to the Bureau for Asia, India and Israel have a ‘peer-to-peer relationship’, which exemplifies the importance of working together on issues related to water, water management, and security and always looking to see how they might advance their respective activities cooperatively, so that, they might leverage common goals, resources, and comparative advantages in pursuit of self-reliance across the world.
As for agro, water, and wastewater management techniques, Mashav Development Agency of Israel could play a key role with the support of the USAID in upgrading them.
Similar to the 29 centres of agro-tech excellence, set up by Mashav in India, US-Israeli joint centres of excellence in health would also be set up in India.
