WW3 WARNING: Russia SLAMS NATO’s Indo-Pacific ‘Aggression’, Warns US Allies of “Far East Expansion” [Video]

WW3 WARNING: Russia SLAMS NATO’s Indo-Pacific ‘Aggression’, Warns US Allies of “Far East Expansion”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific. #Lavrov #SCO #China #Russia #NATO #IndoPacific #EastAsiaSecurity #Geopolitics #USNATO #PacificAsia #GlobalSecurity #RussiaChina #SCO2025 #LavrovSpeech #NATOExpansion #AsianSecurity #MultipolarWorld #BRICS #StrategicAlliance #GeopoliticalTensions #PacificRegion #SecurityArchitecture #RussiaChinaAlliance #SCOChina #IndoPacificStrategy #USChinaRivalry #NATOinAsia #SCOsummit #RussiaVsNATO #AsiaSecurity #GlobalOrder Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

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?

India-China Ties At Tipping Point: Jaishankar Begins High-Stakes Beijing Mission | SCO Talks Begin [Video]

India-China Ties At Tipping Point: Jaishankar Begins High-Stakes Beijing Mission | SCO Talks Begin

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links. Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy. #Jaishankar #BeijingVisit #IndiaChinaTies #LadakhStandoff #WangYi #SCO2025 #TianjinMeeting #TroopWithdrawal #TradeTalks #PeopleToPeople #Diplomacy #IndiaForeignPolicy #SingaporeMeeting #IndoPacific #StrategicDialogue #ChinaIndia #GlobalDiplomacy #RegionalStability #SCO #HighStakesTalks

WW3 Warning: Russia-North Korea- China Bloc Sends Major WARNING To U.S As Lavrov Lands In China [Video]

WW3 Warning: Russia-North Korea- China Bloc Sends Major WARNING To U.S As Lavrov Lands In China

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has touched down in China following his highly symbolic visit to North Korea, where he met Kim Jong‑un and was honored in Wonsan. His arrival in Beijing signals Moscow's deepening engagement ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation foreign ministers' meeting. This gathering sets the stage for the high‑stakes SCO summit in Tianjin from August 30 to September 1. Lavrov’s diplomatic blitz—linking Pyongyang and Beijing—underscores a reshaping of regional power dynamics, with Moscow pressing a message of unity among China, Russia, and North Korea. Watch for potentially critical alignments on security, economic initiatives, and strategic counterweights to Western influence. As Beijing hosts this heavyweight meeting, all eyes are on whether the trio will present a collective front that could recalibrate regional geopolitics. #Lavrov #SCO #China #NorthKorea #Russia #Pyongyang #Wonsan #Diplomacy #Beijing #Tianjin #EasternAxis #RussiaNorthKorea #Geopolitics #Moscow #ShanghaiCooperation #KimJongUn #ForeignPolicy #PowerPlay #AsiaStrategy #GlobalAlliances #StrategicPartnership ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.124~

Pakistan Monsoon: 200 Dead, 560+ Injured As Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh Crumble Under Rains

Pakistan is reeling from an unforgiving monsoon season that has claimed over 200 lives and left more than 560 injured, including 182 children. Punjab has borne the brunt with 123 deaths, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 40, Sindh with 21, and others scattered across Balochistan, Islamabad, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The deaths resulted from collapsing homes, flash floods, lightning, landslides, and electrocution. Rawalpindi was engulfed in chaos as flash floods submerged entire neighborhoods. Faisalabad also suffered heavy damage with 11 deaths in just 2 days. Infrastructure has crumbled — roads washed away in Chakwal, power supplies snapped, and communication lines destroyed. The UN warns of possible glacier lake outburst floods in the north. As the crisis unfolds, it’s a grim reminder of Pakistan’s growing climate vulnerability, just as in 2022 when floods killed over 1,700 and caused $40 billion in damage. #PakistanFloods #MonsoonDisaster #PunjabFloods #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #SindhRains #FlashFloods #ClimateCrisis #PakistanMonsoon #BalochistanFloods #IslamabadRains #POKRains #NDMA #FloodEmergency #RawalpindiFlood #FaisalabadTragedy #PakistanUnderWater #RainDisaster #UNWarning #GlacierFloods #WeatherAlert
