Bangladesh has resumed large-scale purchases of Indian wheat for the first time since 2022, with local importers booking over 200,000 tonnes following New Delhi's decision to lift export restrictions in late August

Bangladesh had earlier approached Pakistan but Pakistan failed to supply the same.

Pleasure to meet my friend FM George Gerapetritis of Greece this morning #UNGA81 Our conversation focused on regional developments of mutual interest. @GreeceMFA

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

Glad to co-chair the inaugural meeting of Group of Friends on Safety & Security of Shipping & Seafarers, along with Liberia FM Sara Beysolow Nyanti #GoFonS4 #UNGA81

✅ Highlighted that commercial shipping and mariners have been subjected to repeated attacks in the Gulf, the Red Sea, the Black Sea and other regions in the last few months.

✅ Pointed out that such attacks disrupt maritime commerce and have cost innocent lives, including of Indian nationals.

✅ Emphasized that the disruption from attacks has also led to prolonged confinement of seafarers on board, delayed crew changes & repatriation, separation from families, and psychological distress.

✅ Stressed that there is a need for stronger and closer cooperation between the international community in order to close ranks and deter such attacks.

✅ Shared that PM Modi proposed establishing a Seafarers Emergency Support Network during the recent BRICS Summit, which could connect the Maritime authorities and Embassies of countries concerned, facilitating distress alerts, medical assistance, communication with families, and support for evacuation.

A positive beginning today towards our vision of making the #GoFonS4 an inclusive platform bringing together major ship-owning member states, countries with largest numbers of ship registries, and those who provide the maximum seafarers.

India the Perennial Soft State

The decision to let American covert operative Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainian drone specialists quietly leave India is more than an isolated legal reversal. It belongs to a long and uncomfortable tradition in which New Delhi invokes its tough criminal laws and then retreats when geopolitical pressure builds up.

VanDyke, a veteran of covert wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, was arrested in March alongside six military-trained Ukrainian partners. According to Indian court filings, the group belonged to a larger international network that smuggled drones into India before routing them onward to Myanmar. The National Investigation Agency initially invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, India’s premier anti-terrorism statute.

Then came the dramatic climbdown. After U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally raised VanDyke’s detention with New Delhi, the NIA dropped the UAPA charges. VanDyke and all six Ukrainians have now been released on bail and permitted to return home.

The episode recalls a familiar pattern. From the Bhopal gas disaster and the Purulia arms-drop affair to the Enrica Lexie Italian-marines case and Ottavio Quattrocchi’s escape in the Bofors scandal, India has repeatedly seen high-profile criminal proceedings against foreign nationals or entities diluted, abandoned or rendered inconsequential under diplomatic or strategic pressure.

Different cases, different Indian governments, but the same question endures: What makes India such a soft state that it so often fails to enforce accountability when powerful foreign interests are involved?

BJP was stupid to let these unemployed nobodies hold the govt to ransom for over a month. Don’t repeat the mistake. There’s only one treatment for cockroaches. Use it. Don’t pay attention to Congress-Islamist-Left media that backs anarchist cockroaches over the country’s economic development.

[The Khel India @TheKhelIndia]

Seriously, this was some crazy stuff from Seema Kumari 🔥🔥🔥

- Ended India’s 16-year wait for a medal in this event at the Asian Games!

TAKE A BOW, SEEMA KUMARI 🇮🇳🙇

[Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal]

Not a careful choice of words.

He is internationalising the India- Pakistan conflict by listing it along with the Sudan, DRC- Rwanda and Iran conflicts.

He is implying that a better functioning international system should deal with the India- Pakistan conflict.

Implicitly he is backing Trump’s mediation desire.

This is against India’s well established policy decision to oppose any third party or UN intervention in the India-Pakistan differences.

The only exception is focusing on all platforms Pakistan’s long standing use of terrorism against India as state policy.

Terrorism is recognised as an international problem even by the UN which lists international terrorists and terrorist organisations and so we are on solid ground.

What is this unknown pressure point disrupting delivery of justice? The nation is keen to know.

[Rahul Shivshankar @RShivshankar]

CLEARLY THEY HAD SOME "BIG GUNS" BACKING THEM.
NO CONSEQUENCES FOR ALLEGEDLY ILLEGALLY USING INDIA AS AN "ARMS CORRIDOR"?

Myanmar Training Camp case: Special NIA court at Rouse Avenue has granted permission to US National Matthew Aaron Vandyke and 6 Ukrainian nationals to travel to the USA and Ukraine to meet their families for one month, subject to certain conditions and formalities. The court directed the release of their passports to them. All 7 foreigners have been granted default bail by the court. They are likely to be released from Tihar Jail today.
