Sponsors and perpetrators of terror must be brought to justice, say Central Asian countries
The Foreign Ministers of Central Asian countries on Friday (June 6, 2025) 'unequivocally condemned' the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and conveyed their 'firm commitment' to fight terrorism. The common position against terrorism was arrived at during the India-Central Asia Dialogue that was chaired by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. He acknowledged the solidarity that the Central Asian countries had extended to India after the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. He also called upon the region to work for 'greater financial connectivity' with India. 'They reaffirmed their firm commitment to fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, and reiterated that providing safe haven, using terrorist proxies for cross-border terrorism, terror financing, arms and drugs trafficking, dissemination of a radical ideology and abuse of cyber space to spread disinformation and incite violence goes against the basic principles of humanity and international relations,' the participating Foreign Ministers said in a joint statement that was issued at the end of the meeting. The participating countries also stressed that 'perpetrators, organisers,financiers and sponsors of terrorist acts must be held accountable and brought to justice'. Push for connectivity The Foreign Ministers of India, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan emphasised 'optimum usage of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC)' to enhance connectivity between India and the Central Asian countries. The participants at the dialogue said connectivity projects should be 'based on principles of transparency, broad participation, local priorities, financial sustainability, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries'. At the meeting, India supported the membership of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the INSTC. 'The Ministers underlined the importance of greater financial connectivity between India and Central Asian countries, including through digital payment systems, enhanced inter-bank relations, and trade in national currencies to encourage greater trade, investment, tourism and people-to-people exchanges,' the joint declaration stated. It also expressed interest in joint exploration of rare earth and critical minerals, and called on the participating countries to organise the second India-Central Asia Rare Earth Forum meeting 'at the earliest convenience'. Trusted partner Earlier, inaugurating the dialogue, Mr. Jaishankar described India as 'a trusted development partner' of Central Asia. Mr. Jaishankar highlighted trade and investment, defence, agro-processing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, regional connectivity, security, education, culture, people-to-people exchanges as areas where bilateral cooperation will increase in the coming period. 'India remains a trusted development partner for all of you. Together with ITEC (Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation) training slots and ICCR scholarships, which are the most well-known forms of our development partnerships, we also have started providing high-impact community development projects as Indian grants for socio-economic development,' said Mr. Jaishankar.

Tesla share price climbs 7% after $152 billion selloff even as Elon Musk-Trump truce uncertain; stock down 20% YTD
Tesla shares recouped some losses triggered by a spat between CEO Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump, although a truce appeared uncertain on Friday as a White House official said the president was not keen on talking to his former ally. The stock rose 4% after a steep fall in the previous session that wiped out $152 billion in market value when the world's most powerful man and its richest publicly entered a war of words over the tax and spending bill. Earlier, a Politico report had said Trump and Musk were likely to talk later in the day. Musk had signalled on X he was open to easing tensions with the president, agreeing with calls for a detente from users on the social media platform. Tensions escalated on Thursday after Musk stepped up his criticism of Trump's sweeping tax bill, which proposed largely ending the popular $7,500 EV tax incentive by the end of 2025. In response, Trump suggested cuts to the government's contracts with Musk's companies, including rocket maker SpaceX. Tesla stock is down 29.5% this year after a 14% drop on Thursday. Still, the shares trade at 120 times expected earnings, a lofty multiple compared to other automakers and even tech giants such as Nvidia. The shares have been on a turbulent ride since last July when Musk backed Trump's White House bid. They surged initially as investors bet on less regulatory pressure for robotaxis, but tumbled due to soft sales and brand fallout from Musk's political stance. all Street rebounded on Friday and U.S. Treasury yields jumped as a generally upbeat employment report and a bounce-back in Tesla shares helped put the indexes on track for weekly advances. All three major U.S. stock indexes surged from the starting gate with robust gains, while bitcoin jumped and crude prices touched their highest level since late April. The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, topping analyst expectations, while the unemployment rate held firm at 4.2%, according to the Labor Department. The report also showed hotter-than-anticipated wage growth, rounding out a report that is unlikely to convince the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut its key policy rate in the near-term. U.S. Treasury yields also rode the wave of the upbeat jobs data. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 7.5 basis points to 4.47%, from 4.395% late on Thursday. The 30-year bond yield rose 5.1 basis points to 4.9346% from 4.884% late on Thursday. The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.31%, while Europe's broad FTSEurofirst 300 index rose 6.86 points, or 0.31% Emerging market stocks fell 1.29 points, or 0.11%, to 1,181.39. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed lower by 0.14% to 622.39, while Japan's Nikkei rose 187.12 points, or 0.50%, to 37,741.61. The dollar gained ground against major currencies in the wake of the better-than-expected employment data. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, rose 0.57% to 99.22, with the euro down 0.48% at $1.1389. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar strengthened 1% to 144.96.
