India closely monitoring China-Pakistan-Bangladesh trilateral
New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said that it is keeping a constant watch on developments in India's neighbourhood, especially in light of the recent trilateral meeting involving China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Speaking at a press briefing, MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, 'We maintain a constant watch on the developments in our neighbourhood that have a bearing on our interests and our security, our relations with individual countries, while they stand on their own footing, take into account the evolving context as well.' The meeting held on June 19 in Yunnan, China, took place on the sidelines of the 9th China-South Asia Exposition and the 6th China-South Asia Cooperation Forum. It was attended by Bangladesh's acting foreign secretary Ruhul Alam Siddique, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, and Pakistan's Additional Secretary (Asia Pacific) Imran Ahmed Siddiqui. Pakistan's foreign secretary to China, Amna Baloch, participated via video link, as reported by Daily Star. As reported by The Daily Star, Bangladesh called it an 'informal meeting', Pakistan termed it as 'the inaugural meeting of the trilateral mechanism'. In their statements, China and Pakistan stated that the three sides agreed to explore and implement cooperation projects in areas such as trade, maritime affairs, climate change, agriculture, human resources, education, and culture. When asked about India's recent restriction imposed on trade with Bangladesh, the MEA spokesperson said that the decisions were based on 'Bangladesh's own quest for fairness, equal treatment and reciprocity.' 'The trade-related amendments announced by India in respect of Bangladesh were based on Bangladesh's own quest for fairness, equal treatment and reciprocity. We await resolution of the underlying issues pending with the Bangladeshi side for a long time, these issues have been raised by India at several structured meetings earlier, including at the Commerce Secretary level talks,' Jaiswal said. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry imposed restrictions on imports from Bangladesh through land ports after Bangladesh imposed import restrictions on Indian staples like yarn and rice. According to the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), India's restrictions on imports from Bangladesh via land ports will impact goods worth USD 770 million, accounting for nearly 42 per cent of total bilateral imports. The move limits the entry of products such as ready-made garments and processed foods to specific seaports, an official press release by the Ministry stated and is widely viewed as a response to Bangladesh's recent curbs on Indian yarn, rice, and other goods, along with its decision to impose a transit fee on Indian cargo, marking a shift from previously cooperative trade relations. Under the new directive, all kinds of ready-made garments from Bangladesh can now only be imported through Nhava Sheva and Kolkata seaports, with entry through land ports no longer permitted. (ANI)

India in touch with China over rare earth supply chain issues
New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that India is in touch with China on several economic and trade issues, including the supply chain issue of rare earth materials. Addressing a weekly briefing on Thursday, Jaiswal said, 'On trade issues on rare earth, yes, we have been in touch with the Chinese side, both in Delhi and also in Beijing, and we have been talking to them as to how we can streamline the supply chain issue on rare earths.' 'We are in touch with the Chinese side on several economic and trade issues, as and when anything is required,' he added. Meanwhile, commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal on Monday highlighted India's engaged with China both commercially and diplomatically on the issue of rare earth minerals supply and is making all efforts to ensure essential imports. The commerce secretary noted that the government is also in touch with industry organisations like SIAM and ACMA for impact on the auto sector 'We're engaged with SIAM and ACMA, facilitating them to have discussions with Chinese counterparts,' the commerce secretary said. He noted that China's rare earth move was a global response, and not just against India. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal recently described China's rare earth export restrictions as a global 'wake-up call,' emphasising that India is actively building alternative supply chains while positioning itself as a trusted partner for international businesses seeking to reduce their dependence on Chinese suppliers. China's overwhelming control of global rare earth processing - commanding over 90 per cent of the world's magnet production capacity--has created significant vulnerabilities for industries worldwide. These materials are critical across multiple sectors, including automobiles, home appliances, and clean energy systems. Beyond China, there are only a few alternative suppliers. The new Chinese restrictions, effective from April 4, require special export licenses for certain specific rare earth elements and their related magnetic products. Separately, India and Central Asian countries -- Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and, Uzbekistan -- have recently expressed interest in joint exploration of rare earth and critical minerals at the recently held India-Central Asia Dialogue. Rare earth magnets, low in cost but critical in function, could emerge as a key supply-side risk for India's automotive sector if China's export restrictions and delays in shipment clearances persist, according to a report by Crisil Ratings last week. The rating agency said this week that a disruption lasting more than a month can already impact electric vehicle (EV) launches, affect production, and weigh on the sector's growth momentum. Rare earth magnets are integral to permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) used in EVs for their high torque, energy efficiency and compact size. Hybrids also depend on them for efficient propulsion. (ANI)

China hosts Iran, Russia defence ministers against backdrop of ‘turmoil'
China hosted Defence Ministers from Iran and Russia for a meeting in its eastern seaside city of Qingdao on Thursday (June 26, 2025) against the backdrop of war in the Middle East and a summit of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries in Europe that agreed to boost military spending. Beijing has long sought to present the 10-member Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) as a counterweight to Western-led power blocs and has pushed to strengthen collaboration between its member countries in politics, security, trade and science. The Qingdao meeting of the organisation's top defence officials comes as a fledgling ceasefire between Israel and Iran holds after 12 days of fighting between the arch-foes. It is also being held the day after a summit of NATO leaders in The Hague, where members agreed to ramp up their defence spending to satisfy U.S. President Donald Trump. Beijing's ties with Moscow are also in the spotlight. China has portrayed itself as a neutral party in Russia's war with Ukraine, although Western governments say its close ties have given Moscow crucial economic and diplomatic support. Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov painted a bleak picture of a world seeing 'worsening geopolitical tensions' when he addressed his counterparts at the meeting. 'The current military and political situation in the world remains difficult and shows signs of further deterioration,' he said, according to a Russian defence ministry statement. His Chinese counterpart Dong Jun also framed Thursday's (June 26, 2025) meeting in Qingdao, home to a major Chinese naval base, as a counterweight to a world 'marked by intertwined turmoil and changes'. 'It is all the more important for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to play its role as an anchor of stability,' he said, according to state news agency Xinhua.
