New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to the Maldives isn’t just a diplomatic gesture — it’s a strategic message to the Indo-Pacific. As Maldives marks its 60th Independence Day, Modi becomes the first foreign leader to visit since President Mohamed Muizzu took office — a leader who once led the ‘India Out’ campaign. But today, the narrative has shifted.

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region.
While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific.
