The agreement, designed with Russia and China in mind, provides for greater defense cooperation and the energy transition. The two countries also promise to increase their collaboration in the development of artificial intelligence, semiconductors and quantum technology.
The agreement has been drafted with the idea of confronting China and Russia, the two countries that have established a quasi-non-military alliance. It seeks to strengthen the economic security of their nations, an increasingly priority objective in the foreign policy of Washington and other Western allies.
