- India and Japan have decided to join hands in the technical development of 5G and 5G plus technologies with the help of other QUAD strategic dialogue members US–Australia—and Israel.
- The development of next-generation telecommunications technologies will be discussed between QUAD Foreign members.
PM Narendra Modi on Friday spoke to newly appointed Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and the two agreed on to take the bilateral special strategic and global partnership to a new level.
The two countries have decided to join hands in the technical development of 5G and 5G plus technologies with the help of other QUAD strategic dialogue members—US and Australia—and Israel. The development of next-generation telecommunications technologies will be discussed between QUAD Foreign Ministers in a meeting in Japan next month.
India along with its partners now will be setting more technological global standards, a Hindustan Times report said. It is understood that the majority of 3GPP standards have been set by the Chinese telecommunication development companies.
“India and Japan have agreed to closely cooperate and develop the 5G and advanced technologies with the US and Australia ramping up technological support. We are also taking help from Israel. There are discussions within the government and our 5G policy will take final shape in the coming days. But Japan will be a close partner nevertheless,” said an official involved in the exercise.
