			<title>LNG carrier &#8216;Disha&#8217; docked at Dahej Port in Bharuch. Photo credit: ANI NEW DELHI: The Maltese-flagged carrier Disha arrived at Gujarat&#8217;s Dahej Port on Friday carrying 62,370 metric tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The vessel had crossed the Strait of Hormuz amid disruptions linked to tensions in West Asia.The arrival comes days after the presidents of the United States and Iran signed an initial peace agreement aimed at ending the conflict. The tanker&#8217;s voyage is among the first signs of shipping traffic resuming through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for India&#8217;s energy imports.According to the Bharuch port authority, the vessel safely anchored at the Petronet LNG jetty during the morning hours. The tanker, managed by a shipping corporation of India-led consortium and chartered by Petronet LNG ltd, is the first LNG carrier to reach India after navigating the strategic waterway amid tensions in West Asia.Speaking at an inter-ministerial briefing on Thursday, Director in the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW), Opesh Kumar Sharma, said on Thursday that no other Indian-flagged vessel had exited the Persian Gulf after Disha crossed the Strait of Hormuz on June 15 and proceeded towards India.On the status of Indian vessels in the region, he said, &#8220;As of now, no other Indian-flag vessel has moved out after Disha.&#8221;He further said the government was working closely with multiple ministries and stakeholders to facilitate the safe return of vessels and energy cargoes.&#8221;We are closely coordinating with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers, Ministry of External Affairs, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure that all and everyone is prepared and our vessels return as soon as possible,&#8221; Sharma said.Providing an update on support extended to seafarers, Sharma said, &#8220;The control room set up at DG Shipping has handled more than 13,187 calls and more than 29,376 emails.&#8221;He added, &#8220;In the last 72 hours, a total of 450 calls and 1,077 emails have been received from seafarers, their families, and maritime stakeholders.&#8221;On repatriation efforts, Sharma said, &#8220;The Ministry, through the Directorate General of Shipping, has facilitated the safe repatriation of more than 3,639 seafarers so far, including 47 in the last 72 hours.&#8221;Earlier, on June 16, Sharma had said Disha was expected to arrive at Dahej on June 18 and noted that &#8220;15 vessels, comprising 10 Indian-flagged ships and 5 foreign-flagged vessels&#8221; had safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>Prime Minister Modi engages in bilateral talks with US President Donald Trump on G7 sidelines in France NEW DELHI: Former US national security advisor John Bolton has warned against any move towards a US-China &#8220;G2&#8221; framework. He said that it would amount to a &#8220;dangerous sidelining&#8221; of India at a time when Washington and New Delhi need closer strategic cooperation to counter China&#8217;s growing influence.His remarks came amid MAGA supremo Donald Trump&#8217;s new &#8220;G2&#8243; framework that places the United States and China at the centre of the global order. However, Bolton rejected his former boss&#8217;s vision, referring to India&#8217;s growing importance.Speaking to news agency ANI, Former Trump aide rejected suggestions that the world is moving towards a US-China-led order and stressed that India must remain central to the Indo-Pacific strategy.&#8221;I think it&#8217;s a dangerous sidelining of India,&#8221; he said.Bolton argued that tensions in the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and along the Line of Actual Control highlight the scale of the challenge posed by Beijing, making stronger India-US ties increasingly important.&#8221;China&#8217;s aspirations for hegemony along the Indo-Pacific periphery are really one of the major issues, if not the major issue of the 21st century, which is why it seems to me that closer relations between India and the United States are so critical,&#8221; he said.The former Trump administration official also called for a deeper strategic dialogue between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump focused on China rather than trade disputes.&#8221;And what I really hope comes for the first time is a strategic discussion between Trump and Modi on how to deal with the Chinese threat. It always, in the past, in the first term and so far in Trump&#8217;s second term, gets lost in a discussion of trade issues,&#8221; he said.Bolton&#8217;s remarks came after PM Modi and Trump met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France. While he said the meeting did not appear to produce major deliverables, he described it as an important opportunity for the two leaders to reconnect.&#8221;Well, it&#8217;s not clear that very much constructive came out of it, any deliverables, as they say, but I do think it was important for Trump and Modi to meet again. Trump has always believed he has a good personal relationship with Modi, and I am hoping that the trade issues, the tariff issues, can be put behind us,&#8221; Bolton said.He also criticised Trump&#8217;s tariff policy, saying it had been unfairly applied to India and risked distracting both countries from broader strategic concerns.&#8221;I personally am opposed to Trump&#8217;s tariff program. I think it&#8217;s a big mistake around the world. From the US perspective, it&#8217;s been particularly unfairly applied to India, much more so than to China,&#8221; he said.Bolton further advocated a stronger role for the Quad grouping comprising India, the United States, Japan and Australia, saying cooperation should go beyond diplomacy and include intelligence-sharing, military coordination and broader security engagement.&#8221;We either address it together, or we&#8217;re going to have to address it separately, which is not ideal,&#8221; he said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with French President Emmanuel Macron. Photo credit: ANI NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday announced the expansion of India&#8217;s homegrown Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in France. PM Modi also unveiled a series of measures to strengthen bilateral ties, including greater mobility for students and professionals, enhanced educational cooperation, and easier travel for Indian nationals.Addressing the Indian diaspora in Paris, the PM said the expansion of India&#8217;s digital payments system would further deepen connectivity between the two countries.&#8221;Now, the scope of UPI usage in France is also going to expand further. This means instant India-France connect and instant mutual payments. Through all these initiatives, we are bringing India and France closer,&#8221; he said.The announcement comes days after PM Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the expansion of UPI services in France. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had earlier said that UPI was already available at several locations in the country, including the Eiffel Tower.UPI was launched in Paris on July 3, 2024.Highlighting recent developments aimed at benefiting the Indian community in France, PM Modi pointed to the opening of India&#8217;s consulate in Marseille and the introduction of visa-free transit facilities for Indian nationals at French airports.&#8221;Before I leave, I have some more good news for all of you. Last year, a consulate was opened in Marseille. This is providing significant convenience. A few weeks ago, visa-free transit for Indian nationals began at French airports,&#8221; he said.The prime minister also outlined ongoing efforts to strengthen educational and professional exchanges between the two countries.&#8221;Whether it&#8217;s increasing the mobility of students and professionals, mutual recognition of educational qualifications, or the opening of French university campuses in India, we are moving forward together on all of these,&#8221; the PM stated.PM Modi said these initiatives reflected the shared commitment of both countries to deepen cooperation across sectors and strengthen people-to-people ties.Earlier in his address, the prime minister praised the Indian diaspora for reflecting India&#8217;s cultural diversity and values abroad.Addressing members of the Indian community, he noted that people from across India, including tamils, punjabis, gujaratis, marathis and bengalis, were represented in Paris and contributing to the city&#8217;s multicultural character.&#8221;When historians look back 50 or 100 years from now and assess this period in India&#8217;s journey, one fact will stand out: this era was driven by the aspirations of the people of India. This is a new age of Indian aspirations,&#8221; he said.Highlighting India&#8217;s progress over the past decade, he added, &#8220;What was once a dream is now a reality. What once seemed impossible has now become possible.&#8221;Earlier PM Modi addressed technology leaders at VivaTech 2026, where he spoke about India&#8217;s growing digital infrastructure and technological transformation.&#8221;The last decade, India has been going through a rapid transformation that is powered by technology,&#8221; he said.Pointing to India&#8217;s digital public infrastructure, the Indian prime minister said, &#8220;You can now use UPI in France too at the Eiffel Tower or the Paris airport. We have several examples of such world-class digital public goods. Digilocker is one of the world&#8217;s largest digital document wallet.&#8221;Get the latest India news and live updates.

Your unbridled dedication to the ideals of the Constitution and your uncompromising fight for the unheard voices have inspired millions,&#8221; Kharge wrote on X.He said the Congress party&#8217;s traditions of inclusiveness, social justice, harmony and compassion were reflected in Gandhi&#8217;s public life and leadership.&#8221;Through your tireless engagement with people and your courage in speaking truth to power, you have consistently championed the cause of the most vulnerable and marginalised. May you be blessed with good health, happiness, strength and a long life in service of the nation,&#8221; Kharge added.Congress leader Pawan Khera also wished Gandhi, describing him as an &#8216;anti-fragile icon&#8217; of Indian politics.&#8221;Few leaders have faced as much ridicule, hostility, and sustained scrutiny over such a long period. Many would have retreated from public life. Instead, every attempt to diminish him seems only to have strengthened his conviction, sharpened his politics, and deepened his connection with the people,&#8221; he said.&#8221;The resilient withstand shocks and remain the same. The anti-fragile grow stronger because of them.
