Following the convention’s conclusion, an official memorandum of understanding between SIAM and JAMA, aimed at strengthening the ties between them, was jointly signed by Chairman Ike and President Kirloskar. The cornerstone elements of the MOU are the continuation of the SIAM-JAMA cooperative dialogue and the anticipated further development of relations between the two organizations over the years to come.
