Jaishankar to visit France, Belgium from June 8
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is travelling to France and Belgium from June 8 to 14, days after he visited Germany. The visit is important since a multi-party political delegation also visited France and Belgium to canvas support for India's stance on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Jaishankar will first travel to Paris and then to Marseille. During this visit, he will travel to Paris and Marseille where he will hold bilateral discussions with his counterpart Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Jean Noel Barrot, besides engaging with the country's senior leadership. He will also participate in the inaugural edition of the Mediterranean Raisina Dialogue which is being held in the city of Marseille. The Ministry of External Affairs said India and France have completed 25 years of strategic partnership. 'Our relations with France are rooted in deep trust and commitment, and our two countries cooperate closely across all domains of strategic and contemporary relevance besides sharing similar outlook on many regional and global issues,' it said in a statement. In the second leg of the visit, he will travel to Brussels. Here he will carry out talks with the EU as well as Belgian counterparts. During the visit, Jaishankar will hold a strategic dialogue with the EU High Representative and Vice President Kaja Kallas, and will engage with the senior leadership from the European Commission and the European Parliament. The MEA statement said: 'India-European Union strategic partnership has strengthened over the years across diverse sectors and got a big boost with the first-ever visit of the EU College of Commissioners to India in February this year.' During his visit to Belgium, he will hold bilateral consultations with the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Belgium, Maxime Prevot and also meet the senior leadership of Belgium. He will interact with the members of the Indian community. 'India and Belgium share warm and friendly relations along with a very robust economic partnership. Today the collaboration between the two countries spans various domains like trade and investment, green energy, technology, pharmaceutical, diamond sector and strong people to people ties,' the MEA said. The ministry said that the EAM's visit is expected to further deepen India's friendly relations with the European Union, France and Belgium and give renewed momentum to cooperation in diverse areas. Jaishankar met visiting UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Saturday, and said that India follows a policy of 'zero tolerance against terrorism' and expects its partners to understand that Delhi will never 'countenance' the equivalence of perpetrators and victims. This message will be conveyed to counterparts in Belgium and France as well. This was the first visit by a Foreign minister from a P-5 country to India, after the India-Pakistan hostilities last month. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also scheduled to travel to Canada for the G7 leaders' summit on June 15-17. He will meet his counterparts from France, Germany, UK and the EU, among others during the visit.

'Voters will decide my seat': LJP Ram Vilas chief Chirag Paswan confirms Bihar Assembly run
PATNA: Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief and Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Sunday announced that he would contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, but he did not name his constituency, saying he would leave that decision to the people of Bihar. Addressing the 'Nav Sankalp Sabha' organized by his party in Ara, Bhojpur district, Chirag said, 'Yes. I will contest elections from Bihar, for Bihar, and for the people of Bihar. I will contest polls from all 243 seats. The people of Bihar will decide from which seat I should contest.' He added, 'After losing my father, my own people- my uncle, Pashupati Kumar Paras, ousted me from my house. Now, the people are my family.' Sounding the poll bugle from Ara, in the Shahabad region, a challenging electoral terrain for the NDA, Chirag, son of the late Ram Vilas Paswan, said he would not just contest elections in Bihar, but would do so for Bihar and its people. He said that he would realize his father's dreams and work under the slogan 'Bihar First, Bihari First.' He had previously released the party's 'Bihar First and Bihari First' manifesto for the 2020 Assembly elections. 'At the rally, he vowed, 'I will not rest until I make Bihar a developed state.' He claimed that 'jungle raj' prevailed not only during the RJD's 15-year rule, but also during Congress's 10-year rule (1980–90). He recalled that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav took over in 1990, and that during the Congress–RJD regime several massacres occurred in the state. Chirag added that Bihar has made tremendous progress under the double-engine government, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for their various initiatives toward the state's growth. He also clarified that he is not aspiring to be Chief Minister; his decision to contest from an unreserved seat 'should not be construed as an ambition to become CM.' 'There is no vacancy for the post of CM,' he had said earlier.
