Canadians to join hands with India in Science and Technology
It was very important for India to get some recognition from one of G7 nations especially in the field of science and technology. Canada plans to join hands with India to harness the fields of unknown and support each other in the field of science and technologies. Ironically, it is the same Canada that cut off all the links with India especially in the fields of Science and Technology after India exploded the first indigenous experimental nuclear device at Pokhran in 1974.
Thirty years! India has come from where to where!
According to media reports from Canada, Canada and India have signed a declaration regarding science and technology, just as a federal trade delegation ends a five-day mission to the world's second-biggest market. Jim Peterson, the International Trade Minister, said the pact, or declaration, will set the groundwork to further negotiate details that would extend science and technology linkages between the two countries in academia, government and the private sector. "India is a true economic giant that boasts the largest emerging consumer market in the world," Mr. Peterson said in India.
"Canada wants to be part of it -- including in the area of science and technology." India is set to double its investment in the science and technology sector over the next decade to $8.25-billion, which provides an opportunity for Canadian companies to get involved. Currently, Canadian presence in India's research and development scene is "fragmented," according to Trade officials, and lags well behind other industrialized countries. Mr. Peterson announced that a Canada-India CEO round table will be held in Canada later this year.
