"The decision aligns India closely with Washington's efforts to build secure supply chains for semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and critical technologies at a time geopolitical competition with China is intensifying. It also signals a reset in relations following friction over energy trade and tariffs. Nations that have joined the Pax Silica framework include Japan, South Korea, the U.K. and Israel. Pax Silica will be a group of nations that believe technology should empower free people and free markets."
"Pax Silica is aimed at strengthening cooperation among partner countries on semiconductor design, fabrication, research and supply chain resilience. The initiative seeks to reduce dependence on China-dominated manufacturing hubs while promoting trusted production networks across democracies and strategic allies. The development at the artificial intelligence summit in New Delhi comes weeks after India and the U.S. reached an interim trade framework to reduce tariffs and grant greater access to each other's markets, easing tensions that had threatened to slow bilateral momentum."
India joined the U.S.-led Pax Silica initiative to strengthen technology cooperation among strategic allies. The initiative focuses on semiconductor design, fabrication, research and supply chain resilience to reduce reliance on China-dominated manufacturing hubs and promote trusted production networks among democracies. Members include Japan, South Korea, the U.K. and Israel. The move comes during an artificial intelligence summit in New Delhi and follows an interim U.S.-India trade framework that reduced reciprocal tariffs and eased tensions. The tariff adjustments included lowering U.S. import duties on India and removing an additional levy tied to Russian oil purchases after New Delhi agreed to halt those imports.
