Netanyahu's Flight To U.S. Delayed As Coalition Crisis Mounts Over Haredi Soldiers In IDF
Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched down in Buenos Aires, Argentina, marking a crucial leg of his five-nation diplomatic tour. This visit, Modi's first official bilateral engagement with Argentina, underscores India's deepening partnership with Latin America. PM Modi will hold high-level talks with President Javier Milei, focusing on a wide range of strategic areas: trade, defense, mining, agriculture, health, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, education, and tech innovation. The two leaders previously met at the G20 Summit in Rio in 2024. The Prime Minister will also visit the Boca Juniors football stadium, adding a cultural touch to the diplomatic mission. The trip comes as Argentina undergoes major economic reforms, drawing parallels to India's own transformation journey.

'Fraudulent': Congress slams govt assertion on India being among 'most equal' countries, calls PIB as Press (mis)Information Bureau
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The Congress on Monday termed as "fraudulent" and "intellectually dishonest" the government's assertion that India is among the world's most equal countries, and said the Modi government cannot simply wish away the stark reality of deepening inequalities by "doctoring data".The opposition party's attack came after an official release, citing World Bank data, said inequality in India has come down significantly between 2011-12 and 2022-23, making it the fourth-most equal country Congress demanded that the Press Information Bureau (PIB) must clarify as to the origins of this press release and retract it immediately. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Aap chronology samajhiye. The World Bank released its Poverty and Equity Brief for India in April 2025. Immediately after, the Congress released a statement identifying the several warning signs that the World Bank had flashed for poverty and inequality in India - including warnings about government data underestimating inequality."Three months after its release, on July 5, the Modi government's drumbeaters and cheerleaders in the "Press (mis)Information Bureau" issued a press release making the "staggeringly out-of-touch" claim that India is among the world's most equal societies, Ramesh said in a a press statement issued on July 6, the Congress once again warned that the government's data interpretation was based on the limited availability and the uncertain quality of existing data, as well as to the selection of dated benchmarks to measure poverty, he it emerges that the Modi government was not only "negligent" in its analysis of the World Bank report , it was also outright "intellectually dishonest", Ramesh claimed that to arrive at its conclusion, the Modi government deliberately chose to use two different benchmarks: consumption inequality in India and income inequality in other countries."A comparison between two entities requires us to use the same metric to judge them. This is not just a fundamental principle of economic analysis, but one of common sense" Ramesh choice to measure consumption inequality in India was also deliberate, he pointed out that consumption inequality is always less than income inequality since the rich save a large part of their income."When we compare India's income equality to that of the rest of the world, India performs extremely poorly: India is ranked 176 out of a total of 216 countries in 2019. In other words, India is not the 4th most equal society - it is actually the 40th most unequal society in the world," he claimed."Income inequality in India has grown, and worsened in the last few years under the Modi Raj," Ramesh inequality in India is even higher than income inequality, reflecting the disproportionate gains of the elite in the last 11 years of cronyism, he said."Such fraudulent analysis, being published through the auspices of the PIB, reveals one of two things: a disturbing lack of talent in this government, or an equally disturbing lack of intellectual integrity. The PIB must clarify as to the origins of this press release and retract it immediately," Ramesh said."There has been a dangerous trend of such random ad-hoc statements and declarations coming from the Modi Government's officials," he claimed."In May 2025, we saw a similar flurry of incoherent and diverging statements from NITI Aayog officials on the size of the Indian economy. The political leadership's penchant for distortion and propaganda has clearly trickled down to officials as well," Ramesh "doctoring data", the Modi government cannot simply wish away the stark reality of what is staring us in the face - growing and deepening inequalities, driven by its mindsets and policies, he its release, the government attributed the reduction in inequality to various initiatives and schemes pursued during the last decade."...India's Gini Index stands at 25.5, making it the fourth most equal country in the world, after the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Belarus," the statement said.

At BRICS, PM Modi Calls For "Working Together For Responsible AI"
Rio de Janeiro: Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India views Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a means to enhance human values and capabilities and called for giving equal priority to resolving concerns and encouraging innovation in AI governance, and added that they need to work together for Responsible AI. While addressing the BRICS Summit Outreach Session on 'Strengthening Multilateralism, Economic-Financial Affairs and Artificial Intelligence' on Sunday (local time), he invited BRICS nations to participate in the 'AI Impact Summit' set to be held in India next year. He said, "In the 21st century, the prosperity and progress of humanity depend on technology, especially Artificial Intelligence. On the one hand, AI is a very effective means of bringing about change in the life of a common man, on the other hand, questions such as risks, ethics, bias are also associated with AI. India's thinking and policy on this subject are clear: We see AI as a medium to enhance human values and capabilities. Working on the mantra of 'AI for All'. Today, India is actively and extensively using AI in sectors such as agriculture, health, education, governance." "We believe that resolving concerns and encouraging innovation should both be given equal priority in AI governance. We will have to work together for Responsible AI. Such global standards will have to be created that can verify the authenticity of digital content so that the source of the content can be known, transparency is maintained, and misuse is stopped. The leaders statement on Global Governance of AI being issued in today's meeting is a positive step in this direction. To increase coordination among all countries, next year, we are going to organize "AI Impact Summit" in India. We hope that all of you will actively contribute in making this summit a success," he added. PM Modi stated that the diversity of the BRICS group and its firm belief in multipolarity is its "biggest strength." He noted that the whole world is facing challenges and uncertainties. "The diversity of the BRICS group, and our firm belief in multipolarity, is our biggest strength. Today, when the world order is feeling pressure from all sides, the world is going through many challenges and uncertainties; in such a situation, the increasing relevance and influence of BRICS is natural. We should together consider how BRICS can become a pioneer of a multipolar world in the times to come," he said. "I have some suggestions in this regard: First, our economic cooperation under BRICS is progressing steadily. BRICS Business Council and BRICS Women Business Alliance have played a special role in this. Under the presidency of Brazil, special emphasis has been laid on reform of the International Financial System. We welcome this," he added. He spoke about the BRICS Agricultural Research Platform, which has been established in India and can serve as a medium for sharing best practices in agri-biotech, precision farming, and climate change adaptation. He said, "In the form of BRICS New Development Bank, we have given an important and strong option for the development of the countries of the Global South. While approving projects by NDB, it should focus on issues such as the demand-driven principle, long-term financial sustainability, and a healthy credit rating. Improving our own systems will give more credibility to our call for reformed multilateralism." "Secondly, today the countries of the Global South have certain expectations and aspirations from BRICS. We can work together to fulfil them. For example, BRICS Agricultural Research Platform has been established in India which can be a medium for sharing best practices in agri-biotech, precision farming and climate change adaptation," he added. He called for the creation of the BRICS Science and Research Repository and emphasised that its benefits can be extended to the nations of the Global South. He called for making supply chains secure and resilient. "We have taken the initiative of 'One Nation One Subscription' to make all academic journals in India available in every corner of the country. Such arrangements have been made in some other BRICS countries as well. I suggest that we consider jointly creating a BRICS Science and Research Repository, the benefits of which can also be extended to the countries of the Global South," he added. "Third, in addition to greater cooperation in critical minerals and technology, we must focus on making their supply chains secure and resilient. It must also be ensured that no country uses these resources solely for its own interests or as a weapon," he added. In a post on X, PM Modi stated, "Addressed the BRICS Summit Plenary session on 'Strengthening Multilateralism, Economic-Financial Affairs, and Artificial Intelligence.' Focused on how to make the BRICS platform even more effective in this increasingly multipolar world. Also gave a few suggestions which are explained in the thread below."
