‘Seeing beginnings of something potentially important’: S Jaishankar on semiconductor collaboration between India, Japan

Highlighting the possibility for semiconductor collaboration between India and Japan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday that he was “seeing the beginnings of something potentially important” that could reshape global geopolitical dynamics.

Speaking at the India-Japan Forum in New Delhi, Jaishankar also spoke about rebuilding India’s relationship with China post the recent disengagement along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, and how that is an exercise that still has to be undertaken.

After the session, which also had a video message by his Japanese counterpart Iwaya Takeshi, Jaishankar said in a post on X, “The India-Japan partnership makes a key contribution to a free and open Indo-Pacific. Discussed its strengthening and expansion.”

At the event, he pointed out that both India and Japan, while revitalising their semiconductor industries, are also working with Taiwan, paving the way for a transformative partnership in this vital sector.

“Japan is today revitalising its semiconductor sector, and India, after a very long period of neglect, has announced a semiconductor mission. There are a lot of things happening. It is interesting that both of us also happen to be working with Taiwan. I am seeing the beginnings of something potentially important here, and potentially really significant for both countries,” he said.
