Further the MoU facilitates organizing training, seminars, workshops and lectures by research experts from both sides on topical issues to develop a pool of trained human resource,” a press release issued by the DAE read. The MoU will be valid for a period of 5 years and will be renewed automatically thereafter with mutual consultations.
