Pakistan’s Threats Over Indus Waters Fall Flat; Shehbaz Sharif Pushes India to Resume Treaty But…

Pakistan’s repeated threats over the Indus Waters Treaty appear to have little effect, as India remains firm on its stance. Despite Shehbaz Sharif’s push for treaty resumption following visits by Asim Munir and Bilawal Bhutto, Delhi signals strong diplomatic and strategic resolve, leaving Pakistan’s posturing largely ineffective. #ShehbazSharif #IndusWatersTreaty #PakistanThreat #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndusTreatyDispute #ShehbazSharifWarning #PakistanPushIndia #IndusWaterConflict #IndiaStrongStance #PakistanDiplomacy #WaterDispute #IndusRiverTreaty #PakIndiaRelations #ShehbazSharifNews #IndusTreatyUpdate Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Pahalgam Attack Happened Because Of Destabilisation In Kashmir :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-pahalgam-attack-happened-because-of-destabilisation-in-kashmir-7792351.html?ref=DMDesc Did Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Say ‘I Condom’ While Reacting to Israel-Iran Conflict?

Saudi Arabia to give $6Bn to Syria | Big jolt to Netanyahu | Israel's role in Syrian Civil War ends?

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending. #SaudiSyriaDeal #MiddleEastShift #SyriaReconstruction #BreakingNews #IsraelBlow #AlSharaa #SaudiInvestment #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #DruzeCrisis #QatarSyriaDebt #MiddleEastUpdate #DamascusDeals #EnergyInvestment #SaudiDiplomacy #ArabUnity #RebuildSyria #SyriaEconomy #IsraelVsSyria #ConstructionBoom #NetanyahuSetback #HumanRightsCrisis #PostWarRecovery #WesternSanctions #SaudiSoftPower #GulfPolitics #SyriaNews #SectarianUnrest #JobCreation #SyriaFuture #RedrawingAlliances #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

BRICS Summit 2025: India Leads Global South In Slamming Trump’s Tariffs, Demanding Fair World Order

BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion. Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China. India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order. #ModiLeadsBRICS #IndiaBRICS2025 #GlobalSouth #ModiVsTrump #TrumpTariffs #BRICSvsG7 #ModiDiplomacy #IndiaGeopolitics #BRICSSummit #UNReform #WTOReform #NewWorldOrder #IndiaForClimate #ModiInRio #SouthSouthCooperation #BRICSLeadership #IndiaGlobalVoice #ModiTakesLead #BRICSPower #ModiGlobalChampion #BRICSSummit2025 ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~
