India reminds Turkiye, China of ‘mutual sensitivities'
India on Thursday (May 22, 2025) reminded both Turkiye and China that relationships are built on 'mutual sensitivities', and urged Turkiye to play an active role in ending the growth of terrorism within Pakistan.
'We expect Turkiye to strongly urge Pakistan to end its support to cross-border terrorism and take credible and verifiable actions against the terror ecosystem it has harbored for decades. Relations are built on the basis of sensitivities to each other's concerns,' Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said during his weekly media briefing.
His comments came against the backdrop of Turkiye delivering weapons to Pakistan even as India-Pakistan hostilities broke out earlier this month.
'Mutual trust and respect'
Mr. Jaiswal also reminded China of the need for mutual respect, even as China hosted Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar days after India and Pakistan called for the cessation of firing and military actions.

The Chinese side is aware that mutual trust, mutual respect and mutual sensitivity remain the basis of India-China relations,' Mr. Jaiswal said.

Rare earths and magnets minerals elements: Why are these giving China edge in trade war with USA?
Rare-earth magnet Synopsis Rare earths and magnets minerals elements have hogged all the limelight during the US-China trade war. US-China trade deal has finally been chalked out, according to President Donald Trump. Analysts have claimed that China was counting on one crucial advantage as it strived to grind out a deal to ease its high-stakes trade war with the United States -- dominance in rare earths. Now question arises how rare earths have become a key sticking point in talks between the US and China. ADVERTISEMENT Rare Earths Minerals Elements Used in electric vehicles, hard drives, wind turbines and missiles, rare earth elements are essential to the modern economy and national defence, AFP reported. "The Middle East has oil. China has rare earths," Deng Xiaoping, the late Chinese leader whose pro-market reforms set the country on its path to becoming an economic powerhouse, said in 1992. Since then, Beijing's heavy investment in state-owned mining firms and lax environmental regulations compared to other industry players have turned China into the world's top supplier, as per AFP now accounts for 92 percent of global refined output, according to the International Energy the flow of rare earths from China to manufacturers around the world has slowed after Beijing in early April began requiring domestic exporters to apply for a licence -- widely seen as a response to US tariffs. ADVERTISEMENT Under the new requirements -- which industry groups have said are complex and slow-moving -- seven key elements and related magnets require Beijing's approval to be shipped to foreign buyers. Why Does USA Need Rare Earths? ADVERTISEMENT Ensuring access to the vital elements became a top priority for US officials in talks with Chinese counterparts."The rare earth issue has clearly... overpowered the other parts of the trade negotiations because of stoppages at plants in the United States," said Paul Triolo, a technology expert at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, in an online seminar on Monday. ADVERTISEMENT That disruption, which forced US car giant Ford to temporarily halt production of its Explorer SUV, "really got the attention of the White House", said reportedly rely on Chinese rare earths for producing its defence equipment even as trade and geopolitical tensions deepen. ADVERTISEMENT An F-35 fighter jet contains over 900 pounds (more than 400 kilograms) of rare earth elements, noted a recent analysis by Gracelin Baskaran and Meredith Schwartz of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. China has Largest Reserves Pentagon is trying to catch up, with its "mine-to-magnet" strategy aiming to ensure an all-domestic supply chain for the key components by 2027. The challenge facing Washington to compete with Beijing in rare earths is compounded by sheer luck: China sits on the world's largest reserves. Q1. Who is President of USA?A1.

Even America can't control Trump—Rathore retorts as he defends diplomatic response to US deportations
' Yeh jo antarrashtriya diplomacy hai, uske andar lagatar hamari Ministry of External Affairs doosre deshon ke saath baat karti hai (The Ministry of External Affairs is in constant touch with other countries when it comes to international diplomacy),' he said. ' Aur is case mein America ke saath baat kar rahi hai. Abhi hum jab baat kar rahe hain, usse kuch din pehle hi hamare External Affairs Minister America mein the. Nishchit roop se yeh saari baatein ho rahi hain (In America's case, our external affairs minister (S. Jaishankar) has just concluded a visit to the US, all these conversations are definitely taking place).' At a press conference on 11 years of the Modi government, in Bikaner Tuesday, Rathore fired a sharp retort when asked why New Delhi hadn't taken a more forceful stand against the treatment of Indians overseas. New Delhi: Days after a video surfaced of a young Indian man being pinned down and handcuffed at New York's Newark airport, Rajasthan cabinet minister and BJP MLA Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore, while defending New Delhi's response to US deportations of Indian nationals, said even America cannot control its president Donald Trump. He went on to say: 'Jis Rashtrapati ki aap baat kar rahe hain, usko America hi nahi control kar paaya. Toh Bharat toh baatcheet kar hi raha hai (The President [Trump] you're referring to, even America couldn't control him. So of course, India is engaging in dialogue).' Without naming Trump, Rathore appeared to draw a contrast between India's steady diplomatic engagement and America's own internal challenges during the Trump presidency, which saw frequent and often sudden shifts in immigration policy. His remarks come amid outrage over the latest incident, which follows a spate of deportations of Indian nationals from the US. In February, there was an uproar over visuals of Indians being deported in handcuffs, with even their legs chained as they were being brought back in a US military aircraft. Jaishankar had at the time said that the use of restraints has been standard operating procedure by US authorities since 2012. Nearly 16,000 Indians have been deported from the US since 2009, for attempting to enter the North American country illegally, the external affairs minister had informed the Rajya Sabha then, adding that New Delhi is engaging with the US to ensure Indians deported are not 'mistreated' in any manner by American authorities.
