UAE to explore renewables partnerships with India, Jaber says

 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) aims to explore all partnership opportunities with India, the UAE's climate envoy and designated president of the COP28 (Conference of the Parties 28) summit, Sultan al-Jaber, said on Wednesday.

During the World Sustainable Development Summit in New Delhi, Sultan al-Jaber highlighted the importance of a partnership between India and the UAE. Al-Jaber said that the UAE would explore all partnership opportunities with India to help in its low-carbon plans of adding 500 gigawatts of clean energy in the next seven years. He reportedly said, "As one of the largest investors in renewables, the UAE will explore all opportunities for partnership with India."

Al-Jaber said that the UAE has the aim of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. As President-Designate of  COP28, Al-Jaber wants to limit the impact of climate change. The president-designate of the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) said that the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius is non-negotiable. 

The UAE is set to host the COP28 climate summit in Dubai between November 30 and December 12. Around 70,000 participants are expected to arrive in the UAE to participate in the summit. 

In recent years, the UAE and India have established a strong partnership. They agreed to cooperate on climate action, sustainability, and renewable energy.

The UAE has adopted many strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change and achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050. The UAE has invested in renewable projects in more than 70 developed and developing countries. The UAE also launched a decarbonization drive to achieve net-zero emissions.

Recently, India, France, and the UAE agreed to cooperate on climate cooperation under a trilateral framework. A joint statement from the three countries revealed that they would launch energy projects, with a special focus on solar and nuclear energy. 

Last year, the UAE and India signed a landmark Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) to enhance bilateral relations and economic cooperation between the two nations.

The two countries also agreed to fight against terrorism, terrorist financing, violence, hatred and extremism. The two countries pledged to unite to fight the challenges of terrorism.

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...

 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 ...
