After Putin’s SNUB, Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif BEGS For Russia’s Attention|Calls India–Russia Ties ‘Fine’

A day after being ignored by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif attempted damage control by praising Moscow’s ties with New Delhi, calling them “fine.” Sharif also lauded Putin as a “dynamic leader” and expressed Islamabad’s desire to strengthen relations with Russia. The awkward outreach came after Sharif was seen rushing behind Putin, who walked with China’s Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Indian PM Narendra Modi warned against global terror double standards, highlighting decades of Pakistan-linked terrorism. #ShehbazSharif #Putin #Russia #Pakistan #IndiaRussia #SCO2025 #XiJinping #Modi #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #PakistanRussia #IndiaRussiaRelations #SCO #Snubbed #Sharif #DynamicLeader #ModiAtSCO #IndiaPakistan #RussiaPakistan #SCOBeijing #WorldNews #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #PutinSharif #IndiaFirst #SharifSnub #ModiSpeech #PahalgamAttack #Terrorism #InternationalRelations Also Read Shehbaz Sharif Acknowledges India-Russia Ties, Seeks Stronger Pakistan-Russia Relations at SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shehbaz-sharif-acknowledges-india-russia-ties-seeks-stronger-pakistan-russia-relations-at-sco-summi-7848801.html?ref=DMDesc 'Like a School Kid': Pakistan PM Sharif Trolled As Modi-Putin Walks Past Him At SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/like-a-school-kid-pakistan-pm-sharif-trolled-as-modi-putin-walks-past-him-at-sco-summit-7846985.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, China Oppose 'Discriminatory Sanctions' Against BRICS Countries: Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-china-oppose-discriminatory-sanctions-against-brics-countries-putin-7846217.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Indian garment exporters face Trump’s 50% tariff shock| Oneindia Ground Report

Indian garment exporters are facing a major tariff shock as the Trump administration imposes a steep 50 percent duty on Indian exports. The move directly impacts garment exporters, shoe manufacturers, and leather industries that heavily rely on the US market. With Indian garment exporters already working on razor-thin margins, this tariff threatens millions of jobs and billions in trade revenues. Competitors like Vietnam and Bangladesh could benefit, while Indian garment exporters brace for losses. The Modi government is expected to step in with relief measures as Indian garment exporters explore new markets and diversification strategies.

India Defies U.S Tariffs As Modi Refuses To Curb Russian Crude Imports | Trade War Escalates [Video]

India Defies U.S Tariffs As Modi Refuses To Curb Russian Crude Imports | Trade War Escalates

Washington’s high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of India’s imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling India’s sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy — sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear — India won’t be bullied. #India #Modi #USTariffs #RussianOil #BRICS #China #Putin #SCO #Geopolitics #USIndia #GlobalSouth #TradeWar #Washington #Delhi #Moscow #Beijing #Trump #Zelensky #EnergyCrisis #Independence ~GR.122~HT.408~ED.194~

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

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?
