India and Japan have announced a cooperation agreement in cyber security and green ICT.

In a statement after the India-Japan Joint Working Group Meeting on ICT, in New Delhi recently, the two countries said they will work on five areas which are to be implemented as India-Japan joint projects.

The five areas are Green ICT (Green Mobile Base Station project), cyber security cooperation (Japan-India Combat Spam project), a cooperative project for detecting symptoms and quick response to cyber attacks (PRACTICE), ICT for disaster management (ICT4DM), and ICT application for social and economic challenges (National ID Application and Utilization Platform project).

The implementation of these joint projects may begin by early 2015.

The two countries also will also further discuss development of standards in the field of ICT, for future cooperation.

India has also offered to manufacture ICT equipment in India for Japanese technology companies by taking advantage of new conducive environment for manufacturing in India.

The next meeting of the joint working group is to be held in Tokyo next year.
