India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation [Video]

India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao. Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives. #IndiaChina #BorderTalks #GalwanClash #LACStandoff #IndiaChinaTensions #RajnathSingh #DongJun #ChinaIndiaRelations #DefenceDiplomacy #SCO2025 #BorderDispute #Delimitation #TroopDisengagement #Deescalation #ChinaIndiaNews #AsiaStability #Geopolitics #PeaceNegotiations #KailashYatra #LACUpdate ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

South China Sea Dispute: U.S. Expands Military Footprint in Philippines with New Repair Facilities [Video]

South China Sea Dispute: U.S. Expands Military Footprint in Philippines with New Repair Facilities

South China Sea Dispute: The U.S. Navy is aggressively expanding its presence in the Philippines by building new repair facilities for smaller vessels near the highly contested Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. This strategic move intensifies regional tensions as it directly challenges China’s vast territorial claims despite international rulings against Beijing. The facilities, located in Palawan and Oyster Bay, are expected to support Philippine forces and bolster joint U.S.-Philippine military operations, signaling a strong pushback against China’s aggression. With clashes already frequent in the area, this escalation could reshape the balance of power in Southeast Asia. #SouthChinaSea #USNavy #PhilippinesDefense #ChinaTensions #MilitaryExpansion #SecondThomasShoal #USPhilippineAlliance #RegionalSecurity #Geopolitics #DefenseStrategy #ChinaDispute #MilitaryBases Also Read China's Sonar Shocker: The 20km Sub-Spotter That Could Sink Naval Strategies :: https://www.oneindia.com/feature/chinas-sonar-shocker-the-20km-sub-spotter-that-could-sink-naval-strategies-3940843.html?ref=DMDesc China’s PLA Warns: 'We’ll Crush Foreign Encroachment' In South China Sea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-s-pla-warns-we-ll-crush-foreign-encroachment-in-south-china-sea-011-3932325.html?ref=DMDesc WATCH Video | Standoff At South China Sea: Chinese Coast Guard Attacks Philippine Navy Boats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/watch-video-standoff-at-south-china-sea-chinese-coast-guard-attacks-philippine-navy-boats-3857477.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~

USS Nimitz: U.S’ Flagship Aircraft Carrier Heads West | Israel’s Power Boosted | Headache for Iran

The U.S. appears to be stepping directly into the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, deploying its aircraft carrier USS Nimitz toward the Persian Gulf. The carrier’s Vietnam port call was abruptly cancelled due to “emergent operational requirements,” sparking speculation of heightened American military readiness. While the U.S. denies involvement in Israel’s June 13 strikes, Trump admitted American-supplied systems were key. Iran has accused the U.S. of enabling Israeli attacks and warned that strikes on U.S. bases would be considered an act of war. #USNavy #USSNimitz #IsraelIranConflict #BreakingNews #MiddleEastTensions #PersianGulf #RedSea #USMilitary #Trump #USBases #IranNuclear #IsraelStrikes #IranAccusesUS #AircraftCarrier #USDeployments #Geopolitics #USIranTensions #WarFooting #MarineTraffic #USSupportToIsrael #MilitaryEscalation #EmergencyDeployment #DanangVisitCancelled #AbbasAraghchi #GlobalCrisis #MilitaryPosture #USIsraelAlliance #IranWarWarning #NavalPower #USStrikeGroup Also Read Israeli Missile Hit Iran's TV Studio During Live Bulletin; Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-missile-hit-irans-tv-studio-during-live-bulletin-video-goes-viral-4183489.html?ref=DMDesc G7 Backs Israel, Says Tel Aviv Has Right To Self-defence; No Nukes To Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/g7-backs-israel-says-tel-aviv-has-right-to-self-defence-no-nukes-to-iran-4183393.html?ref=DMDesc Khawaja Asif: Pakistan Made ‘No Such Commitment’ To Iran On Israel Nuclear Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/khawaja-asif-pakistan-made-no-such-commitment-to-iran-on-israel-nuclear-strike-4183025.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
