WASHINGTON: Amidst growing security concerns over the abuse of 5G technology The leaders of the United States, Japan, Australia and India on Friday agreed to advance the deployment of “secure, open and transparent” 5G telecommunications networks by Chinese companies and work to strengthen supply chain security for semiconductors Of.
Discussions at the first individual summit of the leaders of the four democracies, known as the Quad, reflected the concerns of member states about the concentration of the world’s semiconductor manufacturing capacity largely in China and the Asian country’s hold. 5G network.
In Washington, US President Joe Biden Prime Minister Narendra Modi was joined by the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Prime Minister of Japan yoshihide suga And they focused on collaboration on important and emerging technologies.
“We have established cooperation on critical and emerging technologies to ensure that the way technology is designed, developed, governed and used is consistent with our shared values and principles,” the joint statement of the Quad leaders said. shaped by respect for universal human rights.” by the White House after the summit.
“In partnership with industry, we are advancing the deployment of secure, open and transparent 5G and beyond-5G networks, and a range of partners to foster innovation and foster trustworthy vendors and approaches such as Open-RAN Working with,” the statement added.
The US has been at the forefront of attempts to restrict the use of Huawei equipment in 5G mobile networks, citing serious security issues.
Huawei Technologies Co and ZTE Corp were designated by the US as national security threats, saying they have close links with the Chinese Communist Party and China’s military apparatus.
Huawei also faces the risk of resistance from other governments that its technology could be used for espionage.
“Acknowledging the role of governments in fostering an enabling environment for 5G diversification, we will work together to facilitate public-private collaboration and demonstrate the scalability and cybersecurity of open, standards-based technology in 2022. With regard to the development of technical standards, we will establish sector-specific liaison groups to promote an open, inclusive, private sector-led, multi-stakeholder and consensus-based approach. I will also coordinate and cooperate.” joint statement.
In addition, the Quad countries also said that they are mapping the supply chain of critical technologies and materials, including semiconductors.
“We reaffirm our positive commitment to a resilient, diverse and secure supply chain of critical technologies, recognizing the importance of transparent and market-oriented government support measures and policies,” the statement said.
The leaders also reiterated that they would be monitoring important and emerging technologies of the future, starting with biotechnology.
“We are monitoring trends in critical and emerging technologies of the future, beginning with biotechnology, and identifying relevant opportunities for collaboration,” the statement said.
Quad countries also launched Quad principle on technology design, development, governance and utilization that will guide not only the region but the world towards responsible, open, high-standard innovation.
