India has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering global cooperation in nuclear science, particularly with nations in the Global South. By positioning itself as a "Vishwa Bandhu" or "Friend to the World," the country aims to share the peaceful benefits of nuclear technology to support sustainable development and improve lives.
At a recent United Nations assembly, Indian representatives highlighted ongoing efforts to deepen collaborative frameworks that facilitate access to nuclear resources and expertise. These initiatives focus on peaceful applications such as energy generation, healthcare, agriculture, and scientific research, underscoring India's role in bridging technological gaps among developing nations.
India’s approach emphasizes transparency, mutual respect, and adherence to international non-proliferation norms. Its cooperation extends through established multilateral platforms and bilateral partnerships, targeting capacity building and technology transfer. By doing so, India seeks to ensure the responsible use of nuclear science to address challenges like energy security and public health in lower-income countries.
