'At behest of Pakistan': MEA rejects OIC statement on Pahalgam attack, slams its interference in internal matters
Tuesday, 6 May 2025 India's Ministry of External Affairs has strongly refuted the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) statement regarding the Pahalgam terror attack, labeling it "absurd and misguided." The MEA spokesperson accused Pakistan of manipulating the OIC to issue a self-serving statement, rejecting any interference in India's internal matters.
Pakistan successfully test-fired the Abdali surface-to-surface missile with a 450km range amid escalating tensions with India after deadly Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Officials claim the launch was to validate the missile’s upgraded maneuverability and navigation. India denounced...

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trump’s recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together.
The Philippines also supported India’s call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined India’s growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington.

At a press conference, Donald Trump fiercely distanced himself from the Ukraine war, calling it “Biden’s war” and vowing to end it. Responding to a shocking question about Ukraine conscripting elderly men and individuals with Down Syndrome to fight on the front lines, Trump said, “I haven’t heard that... but I’m here to get us out.” He claimed the war would’ve never happened under his leadership and criticized the Biden administration’s continued funding of Ukraine’s military, which he described as “scraping the bottom of the barrel.”
Trump touted his record of stopping five wars and promised Ukraine would be the sixth. He also referenced diffusing tensions between India and Pakistan “within days.” The remarks have reignited debates over American military aid and raised concerns about ethical limits in wartime conscription. Trump’s statement drew applause from some, shock from others, and further polarized an already divisive foreign policy debate.
