India, France Talks To Address Outer Space Challenges
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
India and France have agreed to set up a strategic dialogue to
address challenges related to space issues, particularly in
maintaining secure access to outer space. The development is
significant amid China's efforts to weaponise space, Trend reports citing The
Economic Times.
The decision to create the dialogue was announced during Prime
Minister Narendra Modi's Paris visit on Wednesday. The dialogue
will bring together experts from space and defence agencies,
administration and specialised ecosystems to discuss security and
economic challenges in outer space, the norms and principles
applicable to space as well as unveil new areas of cooperation,
officials said.
The two sides agreed to hold the first dialogue at the earliest
this year. Besides boosting space related cooperation, the two
sides decided to connect their start-up ecosystems, according to
officials. India will be the first Country of the Year at Vivatech,
Europe's largest digital fair, in Paris.
