New Delhi: The Foreign Ministers of India, France and UAE have decided to further promote compatibility, joint development, and co-production while seeking out avenues for collaboration and training of defence forces of the three countries.
External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar, France Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan held a phone call in which they discussed collaboration in areas such as education, business, maritime and green energy.
EAM S Jaishankar took to Twitter and added “Discussed convergences and further collaboration in education, business, maritime, culture and green energy for a stable, peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific,”.
The three foreign ministers had met for the first time in a trilateral format in September last year on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
They agreed to establish a formal trilateral cooperation initiative, with the aim of expanding cooperation in various fields of mutual interest in acknowledgement of their shared desire to promote international stability and prosperity, and to further build upon the constructive and collaborative ties that exist between the three countries.
The statement further added that during the phone conversation, the three sides agreed towards a trilateral initiative that will serve as a forum to promote the design and execution of cooperation of energy projects with focus on nuclear and solar energy.
For this purpose, the three countries will explore the possibility of working with the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) to pursue concrete, actionable projects on clean energy, the environment, and biodiversity.
The three countries also agreed to expand their cooperation through initiatives such as the Mangrove Alliance for Climate led by the UAE and the Indo-Pacific Parks Partnership led by India and France.
