Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Newsweek's written questions and followed up with a 90-minute conversation. On the India-China border dispute, PM Modi to Newsweek says, "For India, the relationship with China is important and significant. It is my belief that we need to urgently address the prolonged situation on our borders so that the abnormality in our bilateral interactions can be put behind us. Stable and peaceful relations between India and China are important for not just our two countries but the entire region and world. I hope and believe that through positive and constructive bilateral engagement at the diplomatic and military levels, we will be able to restore and sustain peace and tranquility in our borders. #IndiaChinaRelations #IndoChinaDiplomacy #BorderDispute #Geopolitics #AsiaPacific #EconomicRelations #MilitaryStandoff #BeltAndRoadInitiative #TerritorialDispute #StrategicPartnership

#VantageOnFirstpost Iran's President Snubs Shehbaz Sharif on Kashmir | Vantage with Palki Sharma Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi is on a three-day visit to Pakistan, months after the two countries traded airstrikes in a sign of strained relations. Raisi received a military welcome at the prime minister's residence, after which he held talks with Shehbaz Sharif. The talks are said to have focused on trade and border security. Though current bilateral trade is around $2 billion, both leaders agreed to expand commerce and reach $10 billion in the future. While Sharif thanked Iran for "supporting Kashmir" in his remarks, Raisi did not raise the issue which is sensitive to India. How should India see this relationship? What is the potential of Iran-Pakistan cooperation? Palki Sharma tells you. --- Iran | Pakistan | Ebrahim Raisi | Shehbaz Sharif | Kashmir | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #iran #ebrahimraisi #pakistan #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews

🇺🇦 E.U. foreign ministers meet in Kyiv Nearly all of the E.U.’s highest diplomats met at a surprise summit in Ukraine’s battered wartime capital to reassert the bloc’s commitment to Ukraine against Russia’s invasion and to rebut concerns that some countries’ support might be waning. Russia’s attack on Ukraine roused the E.U. into a run of unified action that was extraordinary for the often-fractious bloc. Over 18 months, the nations have imposed 11 rounds of economic sanctions on Russia, provided training for the Ukrainian military and given billions of euros in support. But the West’s sustained backing has not come without strains, as member nations have struggled to reckon with the war’s economic consequences and to maintain political unity at home. Details: The foreign ministers came from 23 of the European Union’s 27 members, and they were joined by representatives from the four remaining countries, Poland, Hungary, Latvia and Sweden. #ukraineinvasion #slavaukraini #standwithukraine #ukraineforever

A diplomatic intervention by China is propping up the junta in Myanmar by pushing the country’s strongest ethnic armies to limit their support for the post-coup uprising. In December 2022, China’s new special envoy for Myanmar, Deng Xijun, held his first meetings with seven of Myanmar’s most powerful ethnic armed organisations (EAOs). During a series of subsequent discussions, Deng expressed two policy positions. Firstly, that China would more actively enforce its policy against instability along the border. Secondly, that the EAOs should distance themselves from the National Unity Government (NUG), an opposition body established by lawmakers ousted by the coup, because the NUG had grown too close to the West. Since late 2022, Chinese diplomats have become increasingly active on Myanmar, using their influence to facilitate face-to-face meetings between the regime and members of a loose alliance known as the Federal Political Negotiation and Consultative Committee (FPNCC). While this intervention is unlikely to achieve a political solution or an end to the violence, it carries fundamental implications for the continuing conflict between the junta and other, newer opposition forces that are seeking military and political backing from the FPNCC groups. By coaxing key EAOs to forego military action and limit any support for the NUG and its People’s Defence Forces (PDFs), China is helping the regime achieve its key strategic objectives.

India attended a meeting convened by the Foreign Minister of the Taliban's government in Afghanistan, aiming to promote regional cooperation initiatives and expand constructive engagement between the Taliban government and regional neighbors. Despite not formally recognizing the Taliban's government, India has engaged in back-channel contacts with the Taliban leadership and sent a delegation for a meeting with the foreign minister. The outreach is seen as an effort to prevent Pakistan and China from turning the Taliban's return to power into a strategic advantage against India. #AsiaRisk #ShiftingGeopoliticalAlliances #India Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/gsGRAZB4

🔴Pakistan 🇵🇰 Worried about Modi’s strategy in his 3rd term, believes China 🇨🇳 will have to bear the brunt of Modi's return "BJP’s campaign promised a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, subtly highlighting its uncompromising stance through references to the ‘2016 surgical strike’ and ’2019 airstrikes’, thereby signalling its firm position on Pakistan."-- an article in Dawn says. Pakistan is hoping that India's stance towards Pakistan will soften in Modi's 3rd term as India's PM. The article concludes-- China will have to bear the brunt of Modi's return and Pakistan not so much. "China will, moreover, remain a central focus of India’s foreign policy for the foreseeable future, regardless of who holds office."
