This South-Asian country had over 10 million foreign visitors in Q1 2025, witnessing 22% increase compared to last year
Malaysia has seen a big rise in tourism. In the first quarter of this year, it welcomed 10.1 million foreign visitors, a 22% increase compared to last year. Malaysia has beaten Thailand to emerge as the most-visited South-Asian country. Thailand is facing a tourism crisis after safety concerns rose. In January, Chinese actor Xing Xing was kidnapped in Thailand. Recently, an Indian tourist in Thailand was attacked by a tiger while taking a selfie at a Thai wildlife spot. For Malaysia, most tourists came from Singapore (4.9 million), followed by China (1.12 million), Indonesia (1.08 million), Thailand and Brunei. For the first time, China passed Indonesia as the second largest source of visitors, mainly due to easier visa rules, VN Express reported. Malaysia, recently voted Asia's most loved country by Insider Monkey, introduced a 30-day visa-free entry for Chinese and Indian citizens in December 2023, according to Bernama. It has now extended this rule until 2026. The country also announced that Chinese tourists will be able to enter visa-free for five more years, possibly continuing until 2036. In 2024, Malaysia saw 3.29 million visitors from China, more than the previous year. The increase in tourism shows Malaysia's growing popularity as a travel destination in Asia, helped by friendly policies and better international ties. The Ministry of Tourism has yet to release the full tourist arrival data for January to March 2025. However, a summary report from January 2025 reveals the numbers for the month. In January 2025, India received 9.57 lakh foreign tourists, 13.9% lower than the number of arrivals in the same month of 2019. The United States was the top source of tourists, making up 20.6% of the total arrivals. It was followed by the UK (11.8%), Canada (7.1%), Australia (6.4%) and Malaysia (4.7%). Nearly half of the visitors (45.4%) came for leisure while 31.5% were part of the Indian diaspora visiting family and friends. About 9.7% arrived for business, 3.4% for medical reasons and the rest for other purposes. Delhi welcomed the highest number of tourists (33.9%), followed by Mumbai (19.6%), Chennai (8.8%), Bangalore (7.8%) and Cochin (4.7%).

Swiggy may recover quick commerce share despite widening losses: Morgan Stanley
Brokerage house Morgan Stanley believes online food and grocery delivery company Swiggy 's quick commerce business has a bright future. This is despite the fact that while quick commerce has helped drive Swiggy 's revenue growth, the company's expenditure on the vertical continues to drag its bottom line down. Instamart , Swiggy's quick delivery business, saw its gross order value (GOV) rise 101% year-on-year to Rs 4,670 crore. However, the adjusted Ebitda loss also increased to Rs 840 crore during the same period. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Anvisa aprova solução para ajudar a reduzir gordura visceral da barriga em 7 dias! Você Mais Saudável Hoje Saiba Mais Undo Nevertheless, Morgan Stanley said in a recent note that Swiggy is well-equipped to weather the rising competition in the quick commerce segment with enough balance sheet strength to continue investing in the vertical. Initiating coverage on Swiggy shares, Morgan Stanley analysts Gaurav Rateria, Sulabh Govila and Sakshi Rana stated in the June 2 note that medium-term concerns about competition in quick commerce will persist. Live Events Multiple new players, including major ecommerce companies, are now entering the industry. Even so, Swiggy will be able to protect its relative market share, the analysts noted. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Morgan Stanley has revised its estimates for quick commerce's total addressable market—representing the entire potential demand—upwards to $57 billion by 2030, from $42 billion earlier. The brokerage expects 150 Indian cities to be conducive to the service, compared to the top 30 cities now. This implies multifold growth in the $8 billion market seen at the end of March 2025. Existing companies with investments in infrastructure will benefit more from the quick commerce upsurge, the Morgan Stanley note read, and Swiggy has invested heavily in the space over the past 12 months. The company met its target of 1,000 dark stores, adding 316 of these micro-warehouses in the March quarter, and is looking to expand the network. "We believe that store additions will be a derivative of growth... we have made a choice of network where we have these megapods, which are two-and-a-half times larger than dark stores and these can do 5,000-6,000 orders per day compared to 2,000-3,000 orders a day (done by smaller dark stores)," Swiggy's chief financial officer Rahul Bothra had told ET after the March quarter results in May. Swiggy's current balance sheet strength and profit in food delivery will allow it to continue quick commerce investments and focus on at least maintaining market share, Morgan Stanley said. Total cumulative investment, in the form of operating losses or cash burn, in its quick commerce vertical is expected to be over $1.2 billion over the next two to three years before the company reaches break-even at the adjusted Ebitda level, the brokerage house said. Swiggy shares rose as much as 9.5% during trade today to Rs 365 apiece. The counter closed 8.73% higher at Rs 362.50 per share, against a 0.32% rise in the Sensex to 80,998.25.

Despite US objections, 5 reasons why India-Russia partnership will endure
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said India's military purchases from Russia had "rubbed the United States the wrong way" while speaking at the eighth edition of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit."There were certain things that the Indian government did that generally rubbed the US the wrong way... for instance, you generally buy your military gear from Russia. That's a way to kind of get under the skin of America, if you go to buy your armaments from Russia," Lutnick commerce secretary's understanding of the India-Russia relationship is limited. India buys Russian weapons because Russia does not attach strings to these sales. It willingly shares technology and co-produces weapons with India and allows technology transfers in areas no country will collaborate with. THE SOVIET UNION SOLD WEAPONS NO ONE ELSE DID When India began its rearmament in the mid-1960s after the defeat in the 1962 war with China, it first turned to the West. It wanted submarines and warships for the Navy and fighter jets for the Air Force. These were not Soviet Union stepped in with sales of frontline Foxtrot class submarines, first-of-its-class missile boats, anti-submarine corvettes and MiG-21 supersonic fighter aircraft. These platforms were used with devastating effect in the 1971 India-Pakistan war. The US, UK and China supported Pakistan in that Soviet Union sent its submarines in pursuit of the USS Enterprise carrier battle group that President Nixon sent into the Indian Ocean to intimidate India.

In 1987, the Soviet Union transferred to India on a three-year lease the K-43, the world's first nuclear-powered attack submarine that could fire anti-ship missiles from CONTINUES THE SOVIET LEGACYThis strategic partnership continued after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The successor state, Russia, sold to India the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles in the late 1990s. This weapon now equips all three services and was used with devastating effect during Operation Sindoor in smashing Pakistani airbases and radar installations. Russia has shared all the technology for this radical missile it developed during the Cold leased a second nuclear submarine, the Chakra-2, in 2012. It is refurbishing a third unit, the Chakra-3, which will be transferred to India on a ten-year lease by the end of this decade. Sure, Russia charges a hefty fee for this refurbishment and lease - over $3 billion - but with the exception of the US-UK partnership, no country has sold or transferred nuclear-powered submarine technology to another country. It has offered India advanced hypersonic weaponry and long-range missile systems and fifth-generation fighter FOR STRATEGIC WEAPONS PROGRAMMESadvertisementNuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines are the third leg of the triad of air, land and sea-based nuclear weapons.

The US imposed sanctions and embargoed the sale of military equipment to India because of the Pokharan-2 nuclear tests in 1998. President Donald Trump spoke of using trade as a tool to coerce India into negotiating a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor (a fact denied by India).This has led to fears that the sales of US weapons to India could be similarly used in a crisis. Russia has never attached such strings to its weapons sales to India. It has never imposed embargoes or restricted transfers of LIMITED ONLY BY IMAGINATIONThe sky is the limit when it comes to the Russia-India strategic partnership.
