The large Indo-Canadian diaspora, which is integral to Canadian society, has served as a bridge between the two nations. However, in recent years, diplomatic relations have faced significant challenges, particularly around issues of Sikh separatism and Canada’s perceived tolerance of Khalistani movements. These tensions reached a boiling point in 2023, after the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and alleged Khalistani terrorist. Since then, accusations and counter-accusations between the two countries have plunged bilateral relations to an all-time low. #global #justsayno #globalbusinessnews #television #cbc #newsthesedays #china #reporter #photojournalism #tvnews #siliconvalley #pakistannews #world #tvshow #cosmopolitanthedaily #newsalert #reporterlife #charity #businessthesedays #newslife #broadcasting #instanews #broadcast #broadcastnews #tvseries #paknewsaffairs #tvnewslife #paknews #newstv #international #globalnews #politics #interview #global #update #stockmarket #pandemic #upsc #breakingnews #currentaffairs #economy #updates #financialliteracy #technews

Border residents near the inter-Korean border are calling for the South and North Korea to halt hostile acts against each other, specifically the sending of anti-Pyongyang leaflets to North Korea. This comes after the North sent nearly 1,000 balloons carrying trash into South Korea in response to activists sending propaganda leaflets denouncing the North's regime. The groups are urging the government to crack down on the distribution of leaflets to avoid military clashes and promote dialogue for peace. The South Korean government is considering "unbearable" measures against the North in response to the recent tensions. #AsiaRisk #NorthKorea #SouthKorea Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/g-5uN3Y3

Putin says he expects to meet with China’s Xi on sidelines of SCO, BRICS summits soon "And the Russia-China partnership is not confined to the economy or the military-technical sphere or cooperation in the international arena only", the Russian president said as he referred to the two countries’ initiative to hold mutual years of culture this year. ST. PETERSBURG, June 5/ Russian President Vladimir Putin said he expects to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the sidelines of summits of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS coming soon.

"And the Russia-China partnership is not confined to the economy or the military-technical sphere or cooperation in the international arena only", the Russian president said as he referred to the two countries’ initiative to hold mutual years of culture this year. "All this, in my view, can be at least as important as everything else that I have mentioned, as this forms the basis of relations between nations and creates a favorable atmosphere for boosting relations across the board," Putin concluded. #business #finance #financialservices

Russia supports the recent disengagement agreement between India and China regarding the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Russian envoy Denis Alipov noted that resolving the border dispute requires determination and mutual trust from both nations. This engagement follows a patrolling arrangement announced before a meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping at the Brics Summit in Kazan. Alipov described the India-China border dispute as complex, anticipating a lengthy negotiation process. He referenced a historical border disagreement between Russia and China that lasted over 40 years, which ultimately reached a satisfactory resolution. He expressed confidence that India and China would successfully resolve their issues through trust and openness. Alipov clarified that Russia did not facilitate the Modi-Xi meeting but values stable India-China relations, which are crucial for regional and global security. He sees both nations as key economic players and advocates for improved ties without interfering in their bilateral negotiations over border issues. Amid Western sanctions on Russia, military and energy dynamics are evolving, with Russia becoming India's largest supplier of military hardware and a significant source of crude oil. While India has avoided criticizing Russia's actions in Ukraine, policymakers are cautious about the growing Russia-China partnership. Alipov emphasized the need for India and China to collaboratively tackle global security and financial challenges, especially those affecting the Global South. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Get a full accounting of the security situation in Asia by subscribing to Security Asia.

Lessons from a peacebuilder: 1. You cannot 'negotiate' with an adversary who is determined to destroy you. 2. The only useful deterrence is that of overwhelming force in the event of aggression. India learned this in 1962 and again in 2020 with China. https://lnkd.in/eKszpfMm

China supports Russia as BRICS chair — top Chinese diplomat According to Wang Yi, Beijing aims to turn BRICS into "the main channel for new forces to make their voices heard" BEIJING, September 11/ Chinese authorities support the activities of Russia as the BRICS chair, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a meeting with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu in St. Petersburg. "China supports the work of Russia as the BRICS chair," the Chinese Foreign Ministry quoted Wang Yi as saying. "We are ready to deepen mutual trust and cooperation among the member countries of the association through joint efforts," the top diplomat emphasized According to the foreign minister, Beijing aims to turn BRICS into "the main channel for new forces to make their voices heard." According to Wang Yi, the association should play an important role as a platform for the solidarity and cooperation of states in the Global South. The BRICS group has now gone through two waves of expansion since its inception in 2006. First, in 2011, South Africa joined founding members Brazil, Russia, India and China. Then, in August 2023, six new members, including Argentina, were invited to join BRICS after the intergovernmental group’s summit in Johannesburg. However, in December 2023, the new Argentinian government of President Javier Milei announced that it had declined the invitation for the time being because it considered integration with BRICS impractical. The five new members - Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - began working as full-fledged BRICS member states since January 1. Russia assumed the rotating BRICS chairmanship on January 1, 2024. It will last until the end of the year and will include more than 250 events. The main event will be the BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024. #business #finance #financialservices
