Modi's meet with Rouhani comes amid an escalating face-off between Iran and US on Tehran's nuclear programme, and a fortnight after drones attacked Saudi's oil facility.
Pakistan PM Imran Khan has been raising the Kashmir issue on the margins of the UNGA, targeting India for ‘keeping nearly 8 million people under lockdown’.
The Gandhi Solar Park is a first of its kind symbolic Indian effort at the UN that highlights India's willingness to go beyond the talk on climate change and climate action.
The US President was irritable this week at the UN — insulting reporters, denying and then confirming parts of the allegations against him and openly calling for the investigation of Joe Biden and his son.
Addressing a leaders' dialogue on the margins of UNGA, PM Modi said there should be “qualitative upgradation” in ongoing cooperation & intelligence-sharing.
The industry forecasts exports are set to grow 16% in 2025-26, boosted by surplus domestic production and a drive to push into 26 underserved global markets with strong potential.
Indigenisation level will progressively increase up to 60 percent with key sub-assemblies, electronics and mechanical parts being manufactured locally.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
India did not spar with Pakistan. India simply projected its achievements and emerging power to the world both at Houston and at UNGA.
Pakistan on the other side was on an all-out attack on India.
So this so-called “Indo-Pak sparing” was a one-way traffic.
If the international community is not affected by exaggerated threats of war mongering, it also doesn’t like excessive sermonising. What happens after the clampdown in the valley is lifted is of critical importance. The sooner we initiate democratic process and establish a duly elected government in J&K, better it would be for us to convince the international community. For them, Kashmir is a minor irritant and they don’t want to hear any bad news. If a terrorist incidence takes place in Kashmir after the clampdown is lifted, how are we going to respond? Imran Khan has deftly shirked the onus if such terrorist attack takes place and would immediately put the blame on India’s action. It is not that every time we can do a Balakot.
One would be happier if people spoke of India and China in the same breath. Not India and Bangladesh / Vietnam. Certainly not India and Pakistan, although one feels no animus towards a neighbour with whom we have long standing issues that need to be addressed through a purposive bilateral dialogue. 2. If one may take a contrarian view on India – Pakistan jostling at the UNGA. Given the potential for conflict on the subcontinent, perhaps it is a good thing that both sides are carrying their grievances to the UN. It was designed to deal with precisely such fraught situations.

UN nothing more than a debating session. So there is nothing to be gained or lost. Power resides with Security Council.
