China helped Pakistan with ‘live inputs' in conflict with India, Indian Army deputy chief says
NEW DELHI: China gave Islamabad 'live inputs' on key Indian positions during Pakistan's deadly conflict with its neighbour in May, the deputy chief of India's army said on Friday, calling for urgent upgrades to the country's air defence systems. The nuclear-armed rivals used missiles, drones and artillery fire during the four-day fighting - their worst in decades - triggered by an April attack on Hindu tourists in IIOJK that New Delhi blamed on Islamabad, before agreeing to a ceasefire. Pakistan has denied involvement in the April attack. India fought two adversaries during the conflict, with Pakistan being the 'front face' while China provided 'all possible support', Lieutenant General Rahul Singh said at a defence industry event in New Delhi. 'When the DGMO (director general of military operations) level talks were going on, Pakistan … said that we know that your such and such important vector is primed and it is ready for action … he was getting live inputs from China,' he said. Singh did not elaborate on how India knew about the live inputs from China. The Chinese foreign and defence ministries, and Pakistan army's public relations wing did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. India confirms Pakistan downed 'unspecified number' of fighter jets India's relationship with China was strained after a 2020 border clash that sparked a four-year military standoff, but tensions began to ease after the countries reached a pact to step back in October. India had earlier said that although Pakistan is closely allied with China, there was no sign of any actual help from Beijing during the conflict. Regarding the possibility of China providing satellite imagery or other real-time intelligence, India's chief of defence staff had said such imagery was commercially available and could have been procured from China or elsewhere. Pakistani officials have previously dismissed allegations of receiving active support from China in the conflict, but have not commented specifically on whether Beijing gave any satellite and radar help during the fighting. Beijing, which welcomed the ceasefire in May, has helped Pakistan's struggling economy with investments and financial support since 2013. The Chinese foreign minister also vowed support to Pakistan in safeguarding its national sovereignty and territorial integrity when he met his Pakistani counterpart days after the ceasefire. Singh said that Turkey also provided key support to Pakistan during the fighting, equipping it with Bayraktar and 'numerous other' drones, and 'trained individuals'. Ankara has strong ties with Islamabad, and had expressed solidarity with it during the clash, prompting Indians to boycott everything from Turkish coffee to holidays in the country. Turkey's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

India proposes retaliatory duties at WTO against US tariffs on autos
NEW DELHI: New Delhi has proposed retaliatory duties against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization, saying Washington's 25% tariff on automobiles and some auto parts would affect $2.89 billion of India's exports, according to an official notification. 'India reserves the right to suspend concessions or other obligations … that are substantially equivalent to the adverse effects of the measure to India's trade,' the statement said. According to the notification, the duty collected by the U.S. would amount to $725 million and New Delhi will impose an 'equivalent amount of duty collected from products originating in the United States'. India proposes counter duties against US, notice to WTO shows India did not specify the tariff rate or which goods it would levy duties on. India is trying to clinch a trade deal with Washington before a July 9 deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump, after which he has threatened to impose a 26% tariff on all imported Indian goods. India has signalled it is ready to slash its high tariff rates for the U.S. but has not conceded on Washington's demands for opening up the agriculture and dairy sectors.

FO calls out India for ‘patronising terrorism' from Afghan soil
Listen to article Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that cross-border terrorism remains the central challenge in its ties with Afghanistan, asserting that India is actively 'patronising terrorism ' in Afghan territory. In a weekly briefing on Friday, he said Pakistan has repeatedly raised concerns over terrorist sanctuaries in Afghanistan posing grave threats to regional stability. 'Counter‑terrorism remains a sticking point,' he noted, accusing India of 'patronising terrorism against Pakistan.' Khan also condemned the BJP government's demolition of over 500 shrines in Uttarakhand as evidence of rising Islamophobia. He described the act as 'another demonstration of the virulence with which the current dispensation in India is pursuing its anti‑Muslim agenda.' Responding to Indian aggression in the aftermath of the Pahalgam incident, Khan warned against unilateral militaristic aggression. 'No state can allow another to violate its sovereignty and territorial integrity at will,' he said, affirming Pakistan's preparedness to defend its sovereignty 'with full vigour.' Referring to remarks made by India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on alleged nuclear blackmail, Khan asserted that such talk exposes India's insecurity about Pakistan's defence capability. He stated that Pakistan's conventional forces are 'adequate to deter India without the self‑imposed nuclear blackmail that New Delhi suffers from.' On the Indus Waters Treaty, he welcomed an interim ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration that rebuked India's unilateral suspension of the treaty. Describing India's action as 'totally illegal,' he said the award 'vindicates Pakistan's position in a very clear fashion.' Moreover, Khan confirmed Pakistan and India exchanged prisoner lists on July 1 under the 2008 Consular Access Agreement — Pakistan shared 246 names of Indian or Indian-origin detainees, while India handed over a list of 463 Pakistani prisoners. He urged both nations to ensure the welfare of detainees. He also highlighted Pakistan's participation in regional diplomacy, saying Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif led the delegation at the 17th ECO Summit in Azerbaijan, where he held bilateral meetings and advanced Pakistan's policy agenda. Deputy PM Ishaq Dar also reached out to Turkey's leadership ahead of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's imminent visit. Responding to whether Pakistan would seek US mediation in its dialogue with India, the spokesperson said Islamabad prefers diplomacy over conflict. 'It is India's choice whether it treads the path of belligerence or takes steps for dialogue and reconciliation.' Meanwhile, he firmly reiterated Pakistan's unwavering support for Palestine. He called for a sovereign Palestinian state along pre-1967 borders with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital, emphasising that any ceasefire in Gaza must end occupation and respect Palestinian rights. 'The road to peace lies not through normalisation under duress, but through justice, freedom and dignity for the Palestinian people,' he added.
