Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced the launch of a new trilateral initiative, the Australia‑Canada‑India Technology & Innovation (ACITI) Partnership. The announcement followed his meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Johannesburg.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, “Had an excellent meeting with Mr. Anthony Albanese, PM of Australia and Mr. Mark Carney, PM of Canada … We are delighted to announce an Australia‑Canada‑India Technology and Innovation (ACITI) Partnership today.”
He added that the partnership “will deepen collaboration between democratic partners across three continents and three oceans in emerging technologies, support diversification of supply chains, clean energy and mass adoption of AI,” and expressed optimism that the initiative will “guarantee a better future for the coming generations.”
PM Albanese also highlighted the trilateral partnership on X, stating, “Australia, Canada and India have just agreed on a new trilateral partnership. Together we will find new ways to cooperate on technology, and innovation in areas like clean energy, critical minerals and AI. I look forward to working with you, for the mutual benefit of our nations.”
The ACITI Partnership is designed to foster cooperation in emerging technologies, encourage the adoption of clean energy solutions, promote the responsible use of artificial intelligence, and strengthen global supply chains by reducing dependency on single-source suppliers.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also underscored the importance of the partnership, highlighting collaboration in technology, clean energy, critical minerals, and AI.
The initiative brings together three democratic nations from Asia, Oceania, and North America to collaborate on technology and innovation, with a focus on shared values, economic resilience, and sustainable development.
It represents a coordinated effort among India, Australia, and Canada to leverage technology and innovation to address global challenges and enhance cooperation across multiple sectors.
