My latest piece links together several events from recent years to discuss Nepal’s outmigration crisis for @LowyInstitute

[Daniel Flitton @danielflitton]

“Dying to work abroad: Why Nepalese migrants are fighting other people’s wars” A fascinating read from @tweetsbyharris, an angle on the invasion of Ukraine I didn't know about. https://t.co/w8X1DefnzP

Pleasantly surprised to find my article featured on @CAG_LKYSPP China-India Brief Issue#238

[Harris @tweetsbyharris]

Delighted to share that a research paper I contributed to was the second most read long form produced at ORF in 2023. The paper traces recent upgrades/modernisation in the Chinese military and discusses their implications @KartikBommakan1

@dan2ali @SCMPNews Definitely, a move that can aid energy conservation

[Harris @tweetsbyharris]

Victory of ‘India-Out’ faction in 🇲🇻 presidential elections is not by extension equal to ‘China-In’. I discuss this in my latest for @SCMPNews https://t.co/bAQ3bPdAkp

@AbdulMimrah However the Maldives should take a look at other more relevant examples in SA, like Nepal whose shiny new airports are struggling to remain economically viable and remain vary of Chinese eagerness to bankroll infra development

[Harris @tweetsbyharris]

@AbdulMimrah Totally agree with you. A continuation of the present admin certainly suits 🇮🇳 more, but the deep ties that 🇨🇳 has cultivated in the 🇲🇻 will not be set back by this. There might be a lull but 🇨🇳 will remain an important balancing force to 🇮🇳 & may even be preferred for infra

[Harris @tweetsbyharris]

For long the breeding ground for myths, recent developments on 🇲🇲’s Coco Islands with Chinese designs now signal a credible threat to 🇮🇳. This and more in this piece with @KartikBommakan1 for @orfonline

[Kartik Bommakanti @KartikBommakan1]

Read this latest co-authored piece with the redoubtable Harris Amjad @tweetsbyharris for the ORF. @orfonline @orfhindi @ORFMarathi

Taking stock of China’s recent military modernisation, this paper updates an earlier @orfonline publication

[ORF @orfonline]

An important feature of #China’s PLA is its emphasis on using latest technologies. It has begun research & invested large sums on next-generation weaponry & technologies, such as quantum computing & #ArtificialIntelligence: @KartikBommakan1 & Harris Amjad https://t.co/hG883qjoMp

The volatile politics in the #Maldives at this crucial juncture can change the course of the Presidential race and the future of big-ticket #infrastructure in the nation in a jiffy: Harris Amjad https://t.co/0Q99dtPHsO

[Harris @tweetsbyharris]

Maps showing 🇮🇳 and 🇨🇳 infrastructure projects in 🇲🇻 by yours truly.

Read my article for @orfonline which argues that with the Presidential Elections in 🇲🇻 the fate of these projects and Indian Ocean geopolitics also hangs in the balance.

@ShilpaMJoseph No they don’t!

Replugging a commentary I wrote a year ago @IPCSNewDelhi

While the hype around #AUKUS may have simmered down, its interesting to see how #ASEAN Centrality to the Indo-Pacific is no longer the buzzword.

Would be interested in hearing what you think about the arguments I made:

[IPCS, New Delhi @IPCSNewDelhi]

#Replug | Will #AUKUS Push #ASEAN to the Indo-Pacific’s Margins?

Harris Amjad looked at how AUKUS could further erode ASEAN unity as well as risk its position of centrality in the #IndoPacific.
