IPv6 India’s MoU with China chapter
The IPv6 Forum India, the national chapter of the global IPv6 Forum, has announced
the signing of an MoU with the China IPv6 Council. The association between the
two chapters will be crucial in enabling knowledge-sharing and promoting the
deployment of IPv6 in the two countries.
IPv6 Forum India and China IPv6 Council have a common goal—promote, develop
and deploy IPv6 technology and industrialisation in the world, especially in
China and India. The proposed activities include:
- Information exchange for the strategies relating to IPv6
promotion, development and deployment.
- Coordination and support for joint research and trial
projects between India and China such as standardisation, address-policing,
and applications.
- Promoting governmental cooperation between India and China
in the IPv6 industry.
- Sharing know-how and experience for inter-operability
testing, certification and authorisation.
- Cooperating in IPv6 promotion events in India, China,
and other regions.
Liu Dong, Chairman, China IPv6 Council said, “The council has championed
the introduction of IPv6 in China since 2001 and has created cooperation agreements
with Japan, Korea and the European Union. India is the logical next step in
the wider deployment of IPv6 in Asia and the ASEAN region.”
Latif Ladid, President, IPv6 Forum Worldwide said, “Teaming up of Chinese
and Indian IPv6 experts for deploying IPv6 is a laudable undertaking and paves
the way for the two countries becoming the largest Internet nations on the planet”
“China and India are similar in many regards, especially population, rapidly-growing
economy and a fast-growing mobile and Internet subscriber base. This cooperation
is hence crucial in enabling knowledge-sharing and working together for the
increased deployment of IPv6,” opined Jayachandra K, President, IPv6 Forum
India.
