UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced the UK-India Technology Security Initiative during his visit to India, aiming to strengthen bilateral cooperation in semiconductor technology. This initiative focuses on key areas such as supply chain resilience, skills development, and hardware security, emphasizing both nations' commitment to their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
