'United in fight against terrorism': PM Modi speaks to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, congratulates him on assuming office
Tuesday, 20 May 2025 Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated Friedrich Merz on becoming the new Chancellor of Germany, as both leaders committed to strengthening the strategic partnership between India and Germany. They exchanged perspectives on global and regional issues, reinforcing their united stance against terrorism. Merz's election followed a historic second-round victory, marking him as Germany's 10th chancellor since World War II.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach.

An explosion at Japan’s Kadena Air Base in Okinawa injured four Japanese Self-Defense Force (SDF) personnel during WWII ordnance disposal on Monday. The blast occurred inside the U.S.-controlled base, though no American personnel were hurt. The injuries are not life-threatening. Japan’s 15th Brigade was handling unexploded ammunition at the time. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area as investigations continue. Kadena, the largest U.S. airbase in the Asia-Pacific, plays a key strategic role near Taiwan.
