Publicly verifiable evidence (agreements, joint exercises, funding, program launches, official reports, or coordinated Quad initiatives) demonstrating active cooperation in defense, energy, critical minerals, or emerging technologies and outcomes that benefit the U.S., India, or the Indo-Pacific.
Official U.S. and Indian government documents and announcements show sustained, concrete cooperation across the areas named: defense (e.g., successive defense agreements and a renewed 2025 Framework for the U.S.-India Major Defense Partnership), energy (the U.S.-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership and longstanding civil nuclear cooperation), critical minerals (a bilateral Critical Minerals MOU and Quad-level critical-minerals work), and emerging technologies (the India‑U.S. initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology/iCET and related commercial/technology MOUs). Quad initiatives have also produced measurable outcomes for the Indo‑Pacific—examples include the Quad Vaccine Partnership and related vaccine deliveries, Quad health/security initiatives, and Quad programs for critical minerals and fellowships—demonstrating multi‑layered, results-oriented engagement. Verdict: True — the available high‑quality, primary government sources substantiate close cooperation across defense, energy, critical minerals, and emerging technologies between the U.S. and India, and show the Quad has produced concrete results in the Indo‑Pacific.
