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.

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting “shadowing” vessels and prompting Beijing’s PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activity—as three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoal—coincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies.
China condemned the move, accusing Manila of “rallying external powers” and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quad’s maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics.

he U.S. has deployed Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles and Typhoon systems in Germany, sparking WW3 fears across Europe. Capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, these weapons are aimed at deterring Russia amid rising NATO tensions. In response, Russia revoked its missile moratorium and threatened NATO allies with the deadly Oreshnik missile. With deployments planned in Asia too, including Australia and the Philippines, the U.S. missile strategy is reshaping global military balance. Putin warns of escalation, as both sides gear up for potential confrontation in Europe and beyond.

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.

Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.

At a time when Donald Trump's foreign policy continues to frustrate some and perplex others, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi have gathered to.. Sky News
White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia.

Analysts warn Vietnam’s projects could rival Beijing’s military stronghold, intensifying fears of a possible clash between China and Vietnam, with Washington closely aligned with Hanoi.

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.
