Wrote about the importance of @narendramodi visiting PNG and India taking over the G20 Presidency.

For many countries, Indian leadership in 2023 might mean having the option of shifting from non-alignment to much needed realignment.

In all the years covering Najib, his 2014 trip to a Chanel store in the Ala Moana Center best captures his nature. He was visiting Obama in Hawaii, but had to go home to Malaysia because of floods. His wife was angry for cutting her holiday short…

The murderous attack on Salman Rushdie by a U.S.-born Shia extremist is a reminder that fanatics are willing to kill in the name of God. The Japanese translator of The Satanic Verses was murdered. The book's Italian and Norwegian translators were separately attacked but survived.

A bankrupt Sri Lanka may be staying afloat with Indian aid, yet it scorns India's strategic concerns. After hosting up to Aug. 15 Pakistan's new PRC-built frigate (named after the destroyer of Delhi, Taimur), it will host a Chinese military ship whose visit India had objected to.

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

Following India's protest, Sri Lanka may have urged China to defer the arrival of a Chinese surveillance ship, but what stands out that it agreed to host at its commercial port a military ship whose mission includes mapping ocean floor for anti-submarine operations against India.

Biden's pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia was justified on grounds that he wants to bring down the US price at the pump. But the soaring prices of gasoline, diesel and natural gas in the US are due to rising US energy exports, with Biden reluctant to limit US exporters' profits bonanza.
