Kolkata, Apr 19: The UK and India will
continue to strengthen their defence and security relationship, with the two countries working closer together than ever
before to tackle terrorism and threats to cyber security.
Both nations benefit from vibrant digital economies and will design, create
and manufacture technologies that will help protect citizens and businesses
against malicious cyber attacks, British High Commission spokesperson Alex
Cameron said in statement here on Thursday.
The agreement will enable collaboration on internet governance, promoting international cyber stability, tackling online crime and developing cyber security sectors.
Minister for Armed Forces, Mark Lancaster said,” Defence and security are at the centre of our friendship with India. By working together to combat terrorism, tackle cyber threats, and build regional security, we are keeping both our countries safe.”
Discussions have also been held on how the Royal Navy can work more closely with their Indian counterparts to ensure the safety and prosperity of the Indian Ocean region – tackling piracy and drug trafficking, as well as protecting freedom of navigation rights.
The UK already plays an active role in maritime security in this region through counter terrorism, counter piracy and maritime security operations because a free and open Indo-Pacific area is in the interests of the UK, India and the international community.
In addition, work is underway on building a long-term approach to the UK and India’s defence industry-to-industry relations, allowing our Armed Forces to share technologies and learn skills from each other.
