Eye on Beijing, Delhi & Manila unite in strategic partnership
NEW DELHI: India and the Philippines upgraded their relationship to a strategic partnership with focus on expanding defence, security and maritime cooperation, as PM Modi on Tuesday hosted President Ferdinand Marcos Jr for bilateral talks. The two sides signed 13 agreements and MoUs, which included finalisation of terms of reference for cooperation between all three wings of the armed forces, as Modi expressed support for freedom of navigation in the Indo-Pacific in line with international laws. Amid protests by China against joint patrolling by India and the Philippines in the South China Sea (SCS), both sides expressed concern over "coercive and aggressive actions" there that impact regional peace and stability and called upon relevant parties to exercise self-restraint and commit to peaceful and constructive means to resolve and manage disputes. According to a joint statement, the leaders underscored that the final and binding 2016 arbitral award on the SCS was a significant milestone and the basis for peacefully resolving disputes in accordance with international law. The award had refuted China's expansive claims on SCS waters in its dispute with Manila. In 2023, India had for the first time explicitly called upon China to abide by the ruling and followed it up with a similar assertion in a joint statement with Quad a year later. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Cameroon (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo Among other key takeaways from the meeting was adoption of terms of reference for negotiations for a preferential trade agreement and signing of an agreement for mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. The leaders also adopted a plan of action (2025-2029) for implementation of the strategic partnership. India also announced a gratis e-tourist visa facility for Filipino nationals for a period of one year. Modi also thanked Marcos, who has been looking to ramp up defence and security cooperation with countries like India and Japan amid increasing tensions with China in the SCS, for a strong condemnation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack. "As maritime nations, maritime cooperation between the two countries is both natural and necessary. Today, when the President is in India, three ships of the Indian Navy are participating in a naval exercise in the Philippines for the first time. India's hydrography ship is also involved in this," Modi said, adding that India and Philippines are friends by choice, and partners by destiny. The leaders called for expeditious conclusion of negotiations for the preferential trade agreement (PTA) for promotion of mutual trade and Manila expressed interest in procuring more defence equipment from India, apart from the BrahMos missile defence systems India is already supplying to it. For India, helping Manila build up its defence capabilities is also a way of getting back at Beijing, a major defence supplier to Pakistan. The visit by Marcos, who backed interoperability between the armed forces of the two countries, coincided with India's first joint patrol of the SCS with the Philippines. The PLA accused the Philippines of "rallying an external country to interfere in the SCS by organising so-called joint patrols which undermine regional peace and stability". It did not name India. The visit by Marcos also took place ahead of a likely visit to China by Modi later this month for the SCO summit. Talks are also on for a possible visit by Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi to India this month.

OpenAI responds to DeepSeek with two 'open' models
OpenAI is releasing a pair of open and freely available artificial intelligence models that can mimic the human process of reasoning, months after China's DeepSeek gained global attention with its own open AI software. The two models, called GPT-oss-120b and GPT-oss-20b , will be available on AI software hosting platform Hugging Face and can produce text - but not images or videos-in response to user prompts, OpenAI said on Tuesday. These models can also carry out complex tasks like writing code and looking up information online on a user's behalf, the company said.

OpenAI is disclosing the many numerical values the models picked up and were tweaked with during the training process, allowing developers to better customise them. However, OpenAI is not revealing the data used to train them, falling short of the definition for a truly open source AI model. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Despite its name, most of OpenAI's models are closed systems -the kind of software that's controlled by the developer, can't be modified by users, and includes less transparency about its technical underpinnings. Like many of its US rivals, OpenAI has guarded its training data and focused on charging more for its most powerful models to offset the immense cost of development.

These bids are in a 15:85 structure where 15% is paid in cash and remaining in security receipts. NARCL acquires 15% of the value of accounts upfront in cash, while the remaining is issued to the selling banks as Security Receipts (SRs) for which the government has provided a sovereign guarantee. Live Events The toll project, which is a 136-km highway connecting NH-68 to key Tamil Nadu corridors was scheduled to be operational by January 2011 but achieved full commissioning only by August 2013. However, it got delayed leading to financial pressures. JCCL, a wholly owned unit of Jaiprakash Associates, operates a 1.2 MTPA cement grinding unit and a 60 MW captive power plant in Shahabad, Karnataka, while another 1.2 MTPA capacity remains suspended. In December 2022, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) signed a ₹5,666 crore binding agreement to acquire key cement, clinker, and power assets from Jaypee Group across three states. However, the deal has been delayed due to pending regulatory approvals and legal hurdles. In March a 25-bank consortium led by SBI transferred ₹12,700 crore of JAL's stressed loans to NARCL. JAL is under CIRP process for in-court resolution and five bidders including Adani and Dalmia have shown interest in acquiring the asset. As of March 31, 2025, NARCL had managed ₹1.6 lakh crore in debt with ₹29,000 crore of assets under management.
