From Africa to Latin America to West Asia: PM Modi plans 5-nation tour in July
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning a five-nation tour of Africa, Latin America, and West Asia early July to push India's leadership of the Global South and shape a broad anti-terror coalition after the Pahalgam attack.
Starting with Morocco, India's emerging security & economic partner in North Africa, Modi plans to travel to Argentina, New Delhi's partner for critical minerals, food security and defence, ahead of the BRICS Summit in Brazil on July 6-7. This is expected to be followed by trips to Trinidad and Tobago, and Jordan, ET has learnt.
The visit in Morocco has been in the works for the last few years but it could not be finalised due to scheduling issues. Modi is expected to visit Rabat to meet King Mohammed VI of Morocco, one of the key Arab states with a growing economy, and strong outreach in West Africa and southern Europe. Morocco has in many ways emerged as an anchor in North Africa.Modi's proposed trip to Buenos Aires could lead India and Argentina to expand ties in agriculture, defence and connectivity sectors, it has been learnt.The BRICS Summit in the historic city of Rio De Janeiro could provide the PM an opportunity to engage with several leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping, besides the host and leaders of South Africa, Indonesia, UAE, Egypt and Ethiopia, among others. There could be an opportunity to meet leaders of BRICS partner countries including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Nigeria.
"The Brazilian chairmanship of BRICS has prioritised six areas-reform of global governance, climate change, climate financing, global health, artificial intelligence and economy and finance," Brazilian ambassador to India Kenneth F. Haczynski da Nobrega told ET."I think the signature outcomes will be apart from the joint, traditional joint statement by the leaders, two specific declarations, one on climate change finance, climate change perhaps more specific, specifically, climate change financing and artificial intelligence governance," Nobrega informed.

Congress slams Govt over US advisory, calls it ‘another diplomatic failure'
With the US issuing an advisory for its citizens travelling to India, Congress Tuesday hit out at the Centre calling it 'another diplomatic failure' of PM Narendra Modi-led government. At a press conference, Chairperson of the Congress digital and social media platforms Supriya Shrinate said: 'It is yet another diplomatic failure of the Modi government that the same country under the same leader whom Modi had gone out of way to appease by organising shows like 'Howdy Modi', 'Namaste Trump' and 'Ab ki Bar Trump Sarkar' was repeatedly heaping and hurling insults on India.' '… an advisory is being issued against us while Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir is being invited to enjoy a meal with US President Trump, who has, in turn, hyphenated India and Pakistan,' Shrinate said.

Uttar Pradesh trying to make village panchayats self-reliant: CM Adityanath
Adityanath said that to create a self-reliant state that contributes to India's self-reliance, Uttar Pradesh has adopted a bottoms-up approach. The state is trying to make the village panchayats self-reliant by providing employment to 5-7 people in each. Speaking at the 25th Central Zonal Council meeting held in Varanasi, Adityanath said, 'Operation Sindoor, a symbol of the indomitable valour of Indian soldiers, has introduced to the world the resolve and strength of the 'New India'. The last 11 years, dedicated to service, good governance and welfare of the poor under the successful leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gives us a new inspiration.' He said that the Prime Minister's exhortation to work as 'Team India' to make the country developed by 2047 shows a new path to cooperative federalism, and under the guidance of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, the regional councils are moving forward in this direction with full vigour. Lucknow, Jun 24 (PTI) India has created a new identity in every field in the last 11 years, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday. Gram Sachivalaya, Model Fair Price Shop (Annapurna Bhawan), BC Sakhi, Self-Help Group, Caretaker for maintenance of community toilets and Consulting Engineer — all would become medium for self-reliance and employment generation at the panchayat level, he said. The chief minister said that more than 330 services are being delivered online through Gram Sachivalayas and all villages are covered with banking facilities. He said that Uttar Pradesh ranks first in the country in terms of the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and about 40,000 BC Sakhis have made financial transactions worth over Rs 36,600 crore. For the safety and convenience of working women, Adityanath said, eight working women's hostels are being constructed. Under the Chief Minister's Shramik Ahilyabai Holkar Women's Hostels Scheme, construction of hostels have been proposed in seven districts. With the aim of improving secondary education, Project Alankar is being run for government secondary schools. Loans worth Rs 3,132.06 crore were distributed to 3.76 lakh farmers at 3 per cent interest through Primary Agricultural Credit Society committees in the cooperative department, he said. The power generation capacity of the state was 15,916 Mega Watts (MW) till 2017, which increased by 8,952 MW to 24,868 MW during the tenure of the current government, Adityanath said. Planned action was taken keeping in mind the future needs of the cities, he said, adding that currently 89 master plans have been approved.
