India will become a member of Pax Silica
Pax Silica: A new and very important chapter is going to be added in the relations between America and India. In fact, America has decided to invite India to join its most ambitious strategic initiative ‘Pax Silica’. America’s new Ambassador Sergio Gore himself confirmed on Monday that India will be invited to be a part of this group.
What is Pax Silica?
First of all understand what is ‘Pax Silica’? Actually, this is an American masterplan to secure the ‘lifeline of technology’ of the future. Today’s world is based on silicon chips, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and state-of-the-art manufacturing. The work of Pax Silica is to secure and strengthen the global supply chain related to these things. Under this initiative, we are not just talking about finished gadgets, but the entire chain from critical minerals coming out of the ground to high-tech AI infrastructure will be covered. Its purpose is to ensure that trusted countries of the world work together with each other and remain safe from any technological crisis or blackmailing in the future.
Many big countries are part of this group
Pax Silica is not a simple group. In its first summit, countries like Japan, South Korea, Netherlands, Singapore, Britain, Israel, UAE and Australia participated. Taiwan and the European Union have also contributed in this. These are the countries which have the world’s best semiconductor and AI technology.
India’s inclusion in this group is also important because many of the world’s biggest tech companies and investors are already present here. Becoming a part of this group means that India will now play a direct role in deciding global technology policies, creating market rules and long-term technology security.
This initiative will prove to be a game changer for India
This initiative will bring far-reaching consequences for the country’s economy. When India becomes a part of the global chain of things like critical minerals and semiconductors, high-tech manufacturing will get a boost in the country. This will have a direct impact on employment and technological development. US officials have clarified that this group is not meant to keep anyone out, but is a ‘positive-sum’ partnership.
