India Joins US-Led Pax Silica Initiative
8.2
The US State Department announced on Thursday, 15 January, that India will join the US-led Pax Silica initiative as a full member next month. India was notably absent from the inaugural Pax Silica Summit in January 2025, and the invitation follows US ambassador Sergio Gor's statement of intent. Pax Silica aims to secure silicon supply chains across critical minerals, semiconductors, AI infrastructure and logistics.
Key Points
