Jaishankar Meets Xi in China for FIRST Time Since Deadly Galwan Clash |India FLAGS Rare Earth Block

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship. The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations. A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation. Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings. #IndiaChina #SJaishankar #XiJinping #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #LAC #Geopolitics #Ladakh #SCOSummit #WorldNews Also Read Normalisation Of India-China Ties Can Produce Beneficial Outcomes: Jaishankar In Beijing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/normalisation-of-india-china-ties-can-produce-beneficial-outcomes-jaishankar-in-beijing-7800377.html?ref=DMDesc Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?

‘READY TO KILL RUSSIANS!’ German Defence Min’s CHILLING THREAT | World War 3 soon?

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict. #GermanyVsRussia #BorisPistorius #NATO #EasternFlank #RussiaThreat #WW3Warning #Bundeswehr #Lithuania #Poland #Baltics #GermanMilitary #Putin #NATOAlliance #WarPreparedness #ColdWar2 #EuropeSecurity #RussiaAggression #GermanyDefence #NATOvsRussia #MilitaryEscalation #Vilnius #BreakingNews #NATODefense #GeopoliticalCrisis #BerlinWarning #PistoriusThreat #RussianAggression #NATOWarning #Zelenskyy #EasternEurope Also Read Pakistan Considering German Missile Shield After Chinese Systems Fail Against BrahMos During Op Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-considering-german-missile-shield-after-chinese-systems-fail-against-brahmos-during-op-sind-4178853.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Reaffirms Strong Support for India in Combating Terrorism, Says FM Johann Wadephul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-supports-india-fight-against-terrorism-011-4175297.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Adani’s 'Seva Hi Saadhna Hai' Pledge: From MahaKumbh’s 4 Million Meals to Puri’s Rath Yatra

In a land where devotion flows not just through rituals, but through service, the Adani Group has embraced a powerful truth: Seva is not just an act — it is Saadhna. Rooted in this philosophy, the ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’ pledge is Adani’s sacred commitment to serving with humility, scale, and soul. What began as a monumental effort at the MahaKumbh — where over 4 million sanctified meals were lovingly prepared and distributed to pilgrims — continues now at one of India’s most divine festivals: the Puri Rath Yatra. As the majestic chariots of Lord Jagannath roll through the ancient city, Adani’s unbroken chain of seva ensures that every devotee is nourished, every offering is honored, and every step of faith is met with a gesture of care. From massive community kitchens to meticulously organized Prasad Seva, Adani’s service is seamless, silent, and spiritually aligned with the heart of the Yatra. #JagannathPuriRathYatra #JagannathRathYatra2025 #PuriRathYatra #RathYatra2025 #JagannathYatra #JagannathPuri #RathYatraLive #RathYatraAdaniNews #JagannathRathYatraStory #JagannathRathYatraLatestNews #SevaHiSaadhnaHai #AdaniSeva #PuriRathYatra2025 #JagannathRathYatra ~PR.152~HT.408~GR.124~
