FO rejects Indian FM's 'irresponsible' remarks
Listen to article The Foreign Office (FO) rejected recent remarks made by India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Brussels, describing them as "irresponsible" and advising India to refrain from spinning misleading narratives. The statement comes after Jaishankar launched another verbal attack on Pakistan, calling it 'Terroristan'. Speaking at a joint press conference in Brussels on Tuesday alongside European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, Jaishankar said, 'I'd like you to understand this is not a conflict between two states per se." 'This is actually a response to the threat and the practice of terrorism. So, I would urge you to make it. Don't think of it as India or Pakistan; think of it as India–Terroristan. You will then appreciate it,' he added. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the FO condemned the Indian minister's rhetoric and stressed that the discourse of top diplomats should promote peace and harmony, rather than producing 'bellicose punchlines.' "The tone and tenor of a foreign minister should be commensurate with his dignified status," the spokesperson said, underscoring the importance of maintaining diplomatic decorum in international relations. 🔊PR No:1️⃣6️⃣8️⃣/2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ Pakistan Rejects the Remarks by the Indian External Affairs Minister Pakistan categorically rejects the irresponsible remarks made by the External Affairs Minister of India during different media engagements in Brussels. The discourse of top diplomats… — Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Pakistan (@ForeignOfficePk) June 11, 2025 The spokesperson also pointed out India's ongoing campaign to mislead the international community with a fabricated narrative of victimhood. "India's continued anti-Pakistan diatribe cannot mask its sponsorship of terrorism beyond its borders nor its state-sanctioned oppression in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK)," the statement read. The FO further called out India for attempting to deflect attention from its own involvement in terrorism, subversion, and targeted assassinations, urging the Indian government to reflect on its actions rather than pointing fingers at others. It highlighted the frustration evident in India's narrative, especially after its failed military operations against Pakistan last month. 'The narrative emerging from India betrays sheer frustration, following an unsuccessful military adventure against Pakistan,' the statement read.

'Pakistan stands resolute in its intent and ability to safeguard its sovereignty against any aggression,' it added, pointing to Pakistan's robust response to India's recent strikes. The statement concluded by suggesting that Indian leaders improve the quality of their diplomatic discourse. 'History will judge not by who shouted the loudest, but by who acted the wisest,' it said.

Oil rises to 7-week high as investors await trade truce details and US-Iran talks
LONDON: Oil prices rose to a seven-week high on Wednesday as markets assessed the outcome of US-China trade negotiations, while pessimism over US-Iran nuclear talks also provided support. Brent crude futures were up 82 cents, or 1.2%, to $67.69 a barrel at 1028 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude was up 96 cents, or 1.5%, to $65.94. US and Chinese officials agreed on a framework to put their trade truce back on track and resolve China's export restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Tuesday at the conclusion of two days of intense negotiations in London. The two countries are the world's largest economies and oil consumers. Oil up on hopes of positive US-China trade talks Trade-related downside risk in oil has been temporarily removed, although the market reaction has been tepid as it is not clear how economic growth and global oil demand will be affected, said PVM analyst Tamas Varga. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he was less confident that Iran would agree to stop uranium enrichment in a nuclear deal with Washington, according to an interview released on Wednesday. For its part, Iran threatened to strike US bases in the Middle East if nuclear negotiations fail and conflict arises with the United States. On the supply side, OPEC+ plans to increase oil production by 411,000 barrels per day in July as it looks to unwind production cuts for a fourth straight month. 'Greater oil demand within OPEC+ economies – most notably Saudi Arabia – could offset additional supply from the group over the coming months and support oil prices,' said Capital Economics' analyst Hamad Hussain in a note. Later on Wednesday, markets will be focusing on the weekly US oil inventories report from the Energy Information Administration. US crude oil stocks fell by 370,000 barrels last week, according to market sources who cited American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday.
