00:00growth in artificial intelligence and to help U.S. and Indian energy companies unlock their

00:05innovation potential, the Biden administration has determined that it is past time to take

00:11the next major step in cementing this partnership.

00:15So today I can announce that the United States is now finalizing the necessary steps to remove

00:22longstanding regulations that have prevented civil nuclear cooperation between India's

00:27leading nuclear entities and U.S. companies.

00:31The formal paperwork will be done soon, but this will be an opportunity to turn the page

00:37on some of the frictions of the past and create opportunities for entities that have been

00:42on restricted lists in the United States to come off those lists and enter into deep collaboration

00:48with the United States, with our private sector, with our scientists and technologists to move

00:54civil nuclear cooperation forward together.

00:58This is a statement of confidence in the progress we've made and the progress we will continue

01:02to make as strategic partners and as countries who share a commitment to peaceful nuclear

01:08cooperation.

01:09It's also the result of India's open and transparent engagement with our administration

01:14over the course of four years, which has enabled us to open this new chapter together.

01:21Of course, none of the work we've done together over any of these years has been easy.

01:25We've had to navigate our fair share of turbulence, legacy relationships, tensions over trade,

01:32as well as over human rights and the rule of law at home and abroad.

01:36But we've navigated these issues together with our eye on the long game, and our ability

01:41to do so reflects the deep and enduring resilience between the U.S. and India across generations,

01:48across administrations, and, yes, across the aisle.

01:52This leads to my parting thought.

01:55Where do we go from here?

01:58I'm deeply proud of the work the U.S. and India have done together under ICESat to shape

02:02the technologies of the future.

02:04I'm deeply proud of the fact that I believe we are passing the baton on to the next administration

02:09in two weeks' time in an even stronger position than what we inherited four years ago.

02:15But there is still so much to be done.

02:18It's not going to be enough for the U.S. and India to simply collaborate in building the

02:22critical technologies of the future.

02:25We also are going to have to work together to shape the diffusion, protection, and the

02:30rules that govern those technologies.

02:34We've already begun this work in domains like space, where India's decision to join the

02:38Artemis Accords is allowing us to establish a common set of principles around civilian

02:43space exploration.

02:45We're going to need to do the same thing in other spheres as well, such as the employment

02:49of artificial intelligence and advanced biotechnologies, both of which are going to have enormous consequences

02:54on every facet of life.

02:57And as we see more and more new technologies diverted to unfriendly actors, the U.S. and

03:02India are going to have to ensure that valuable dual-use technologies don't fall into the

03:07wrong hands.

03:09That means aligning our export control systems, looking at trade measures to protect our industrial

03:14strategies from overcapacity, better securing our supply chains, and reviewing outbound

03:20and inbound investment in sensitive sectors.

03:24As we take those steps, we need to expand the work we're doing to leverage American

03:29and Indian innovation to help the world, especially emerging economies, enable equitable growth

03:36across the globe.

03:38And finally, our partnership can be most effectively sustained and can actually only

03:44reach its full potential if we live up together to the values that lie at the core of our

03:49democracies – respect for the rule of law that creates the conditions for dynamic growth,

03:55respect for pluralism and tolerance that powers innovation, and the protection of basic freedoms

04:03that unleash the human spirit.

04:05I say this as someone who fully believes that the United States can realize those aspirations,

04:12that these are the basic truths about how our democracies will grow and flourish.

04:18So let me close with this.

04:20This is likely – because I've stopped actually predicting just about anything in

04:27this crazy world we live in – but this is likely the last trip overseas that I will

04:32lead as National Security Advisor.

04:35But I cannot think of a better way to end my tenure in the White House, visiting India

04:40on my final overseas trip, to mark the advances we've made together over the past four years.

04:46This is a shared and historic achievement, a cornerstone of the Biden administration's

04:51foreign policy legacy.

04:53We've had to deal with our challenging moments.

04:56We've had to work to resolve difficult issues.
