New Delhi: The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) must be "uncompromising" in its fight against "terrorism, separatism and extremism”. That was External Affairs Minister S....
It is Jaishankar's first visit to China since the Galwan clashes in June 2020. In his social media post, Jaishankar said he apprised Xi about the recent progress in bilateral ties.
Bilateral meeting between Jaishankar and Chinese counterpart Wang comes as Indian EAM is in China for a two-day visit. Jaishankar calls for strong support on zero-tolerance for terrorism.
India must now seriously reconsider its involvement in SCO, where China’s writ runs large, Pakistan’s terror networks are never condemned, and Delhi's interests are ignored.
The Union external affairs minister said India wanted a mention of terrorism in the SCO defence meet’s outcome document, but one member, hinting at Pakistan, did not agree.
At SCO Heads of Govt summit in Islamabad, Indian foreign minister raised points of contention between the 2 nations & New Delhi—cross-border terrorism, territorial integrity & UNSC reform.
International media is also keeping an eye on Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s upcoming visit to Pakistan, but doesn’t have very high hopes for thawing of bilateral ties.
The last Indian external affairs minister to visit Pakistan was Sushma Swaraj, who represented India at Heart of Asia conference on Afghanistan, hosted in Islamabad in December 2015.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
