India’s G20 plans will focus on counter-terrorism, supply chain issues

 India’s G20 plans will include a special focus on counter-terrorism, supply chain disruption, and “unity” in world affairs, sources said here on Tuesday. India will take over the G20 presidency on December 1 and the next summit will be held here in 2023. 

To mark the occasion, 100 monuments in India will be lit up with the G20 logo, said a source. That apart, selfie competition and other public events will be part of the preparatory phase of the summit. The member countries and the ‘guest countries’ for the 2023 summit will meet in Udaipur later this week.

The summit will be broad-based and will deliver a message of janbhagidari (people’s participation), said a source. The Hindu has learned that preparatory meetings related to the summit will take place in several places across the country. Asked about the possibility of similar meetings to be held in Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh, and Ladakh, a source aware of the plans said, “calendar is being worked out”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was handed the gavel of the G20 at the end of the last G20 summit in Bali on November 15-16. The Bali summit was overshadowed by the Ukraine conflict, which has been lingering since February 24 this year, and as of now is expected to influence global developments in the coming months. 

An official said India will highlight the need for “unity” to bridge the Russia-West divide over the war. 

A special G20 jingle will be launched for FM radios in the country on December 1. The G20 event should draw widespread public participation, said a source urging that people from Kashmir to Kanyakumari should come forward and connect with the plans to celebrate the event, which will be one of the largest international events to be held by India in recent years.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

India raises concern over North Korea missile tests at UNSC, 2nd time in weeks

 As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met for the second time in a month over the missile tests in North Korea, India yet again raised concerns over the impact on peace and security in the region. New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions. In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
