In #Indien hat der Oberste Richter arbeitslose junge Menschen mit „Kakerlaken“ verglichen. Darauf gründete sich im Netz eine Kakerlakenpartei, die bei Instagram inzwischen mehr Follower hat als die Regierungspartei, schreibt @netizenmay auf @tazgezwitscher https://t.co/zA5HtszIul

Pleased to interact with Members of European Parliament, led by @ANiebler, here in Delhi.
Discussed the new chapter in 🇮🇳🇪🇺 ties, and the growing convergence between us. As the agenda of cooperation expands, so too will be the levels of comfort.
Confident that the European Parliament will be a pillar of support in this new era.

Deal With Tehran Gets India’s Tankers Through Hormuz: Under a deal struck between New Delhi and Tehran, India allowed about 180 Iranian sailors to return home on a chartered flight last night, while Iran permitted two liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tankers bound for India to safely cross the Strait of Hormuz. Several oil tankers are also reaching Indian ports after being permitted to transit the strait.
India is now negotiating safe passage for additional oil and gas tankers as the conflict continues to disrupt shipping through the vital waterway.
The chartered aircraft, arranged by Iran, departed from Kochi carrying sailors from the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Lavan, which had docked there after the U.S. torpedoed and sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena.
Another Iranian naval vessel, IRIS Bushehr, docked in Sri Lanka. Under U.S. pressure, Sri Lanka has refused to allow the return of its 208 crew members or the 32 survivors of the sunken frigate. Sri Lanka did, however, permit the same chartered aircraft to carry 84 bodies of Iranian sailors killed in the U.S. attack. The bodies of an unknown number of sailors remain missing.
First: US punitive tariffs against India for buying Russian oil. Then: a US waver for India to buy Russian oil. Next: a sort of global waver to buy Russian oil again. Next?
A roundtable hosted by the Embassy of Germany to India in March brought together journalists, policy experts & media practitioners to reflect on how India & Germany perceive each other and how stronger reporting can improve bilateral understanding https://t.co/7zGn47Leps
Indo-German Media Network at the @GermanyinIndia in Delhi: During Raisina Dialogue, we had a productive discussion on narratives, blind spots & how 🇮🇳 & 🇩🇪 perceive each other. The exchange brought together media professionals to reflect on strengthening bilateral understanding.
“Germans know that a world in which only power counts is a dark place,” writes German Chancellor @_FriedrichMerz. “Our country went down this path in the twentieth century to a bitter and evil end. Today, we are taking a different path.”

State govt has appointed former Minister Deepak Kesarkar as coordinator, 2 years after Maharashtra signed an MoU with the German state of Baden-Württemberg for providing 10,000 skilled manpower from Maharashtra but the state's German dream failed to take off.
#Trump says: #India will give up #RussianOil.
#Modi says: Thanks for the “wonderful” phone call - and stays silent on oil.
What’s really happening:
India is cutting Russian oil imports because of market logic, not political obedience. Discounts are shrinking, logistics are costly, and alternatives are available.
The outcome:
Trump sells market trends as a deal.
India gains tariff relief and strategic room to maneuver.
Russia slowly loses revenue - but not the war.
