Suga is also expected to push PM Modi for holding an 'early and in-person' Quad Summit on the sidelines of G-7 Summit in UK in June where India will be a special guest.
In 2020, Beijing escalated tensions over a host of issues with its neighbours, including Australia, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines, Dr Kathleen Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense said.
Apart from boosting bilateral ties, New Delhi is increasingly looking to embrace Dhaka under the Indo-Pacific initiative to assert greater power in the Bay of Bengal region.
The visit will take place keeping in mind Joe Biden govt’s larger foreign policy focus in which Indo-Pacific initiative plays a key role & hence Llyod’s deepening of ties with India is important.
Australia PM Scott Morrison hinted Friday that such a meeting may be on the cards. ‘...I am looking forward to that first gathering of the Quad leaders,’ he said.
MGNREGA’s core strength was: if you needed work, you got work. VB-GRAMG’s funding model means work will only be available if a state has the budget and the Centre has approved the allocation.
RBI Handbook of Statistics shows state’s GSDP has more than doubled in past decade, finishing second behind Maharashtra. It has performed well across health & education parameters as well.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
One fact which is missed in this article is that geopolitics mainly govern upon dynamics of money. Russia is far superior than China in terms of military and space technology and is almost at par to USA but superiority ends here. Russia economy is very weak in comparison to USA & EU and Russia cannot overcome this shortcoming on its own and sustain surmounting threat of US & EU for long in fast changing world and in face of new alliance like QUAD even though it is not directed against it but success of QUAD against China will further marginalize Russia interest. In this scenario what Russia need is alliance with partner whose economy can match to USA and it’s allies in order to sustain its economy mostly based on arms tecnology. Here China fits the bill. Further China is a frontal defence for Russia and its existence as world military power. In addition India’s share of military import from Russia is gradually declining in view of new alliance with USA, France and Israel. Such a loss of huge market can only be overcome when China comes to rescue it. But for everything you have to pay a price so Russia, not willingly but due to present geopolitical circumstances, is wisely ready to play a second fiddle to China. This is a win win situation for both. Eastern vast land of Russia mostly barren is at risk with this alliance because growing population of China needs a land to accomodate it and this part of Russia fits the bill. For Russia most important is to protect its western habitable territory and maintain superiority over USA & EU on this part of its world. Further support of China can allow Russia to share booty of middle East with China. Russia is least bother for Pacific region or for Africa what it need is to maintain its superiority on its western front and alliance with China and it’s huge purse fits the bill for Russia’s geopolitical interest in best manner.
