The delegation arrived in Malaysia after successfully completing the Indonesia leg of their outreach program under Operation Sindoor, continuing their efforts to strengthen international cooperation against Pakistan's cross-border terrorism.
Earlier on Friday, while addressing the Indian diaspora in Jakarta, India reiterated its new approach in combating cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, underscoring its firm stance under Operation Sindoor.
'The new India will not just share information and data. If anything happens to the country, 'India ab andar ghus ke marega'...PM Modi said very clearly that this is the new normal. Our nation is progressing, and there is peace,' said Jha.
He emphasised that terrorists' attempts to spread communal disharmony have failed, showcasing India's maturity in handling such incidents.
'The way terrorists targeted a particular community, their purpose was to spread communal disharmony in our country, but we are a mature nation. Even a small incident did not erupt...,' Jha said while addressing the diaspora.
The delegation's mission is to showcase India's resolve against terrorism and garner international support for a united stand against this global threat. The Indian government's diplomatic outreach efforts aim to strengthen partnerships with countries in East and Southeast Asia, emphasising the need for a collective response to the threat of terrorism.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.
Indian armed forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan.
After this, on May 10, an understanding regarding the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced.
The delegation to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Singapore is led by JD-U MP Sanjay Kumar Jha and includes Aparajita Sarangi (BJP), Abhishek Banerjee (Trinamool Congress), Brij Lal (BJP), John Brittas (CPI-M), Pradan Baruah (BJP), Hemang Joshi (BJP), Salman Khurshid and Mohan Kumar.

What is the status of US tariff negotiations?
WASHINGTON: US tariff negotiations with key trading partners have shifted into high gear as economies race to avoid steeper duties before an Aug 1 deadline. Many of these tariff hikes were part of a package first announced in April, under which dozens of economies were due to face higher levies – up from a 10 per cent level – over their trade surpluses with the United States. The twice-postponed deadline for duties to take effect is now Friday, Aug 1. But Washington has expanded its group of targets coming up against these tariffs, while announcing agreements with the European Union, Britain, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. A deal with the European Union unveiled on Sunday sees a 15 per cent tariff imposed on European exports to the United States, down from the 30 per cent that Trump earlier threatened. Where do other US trade talks stand? Seoul is racing to reach a deal with Washington, as Tokyo's success in landing an agreement has "amped up the pressure for South Korea," a government source told AFP. Local media reported that Seoul was preparing to propose more than US$100 billion in investment as part of a broader agreement, with expected participation by major firms such as Samsung and Hyundai Motor. The South Korean government did not confirm this. But South Korean officials have outlined proposals to deepen collaboration in sectors like shipbuilding, semiconductors and batteries. National Security Advisor Wi Sung-lak has told reporters that the two countries are in "the final and most crucial phase of negotiations" to avert Trump's proposed 25 per cent duty. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Bloomberg Television Thursday that he was optimistic his country could reach an agreement with the United States to avert Washington's 26 per cent tariff threat. Goyal insisted there were not any sticking points in the US-India relationship or in trade talks, and clarified that immigration rules – including those around H-1B visas for skilled workers – had not come up in negotiations. Despite Goyal's remarks, local media reported the prospects of an interim deal before Aug 1 had dimmed. Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai said Thursday that officials are "working hard" on negotiations, amid worries that an unfavorable tariff level could hit the self-ruled island's economy. Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim said Taipei's negotiating team was "working almost 24 hours a day to achieve trade balance and Taiwan's industrial interests, and even to further deepen cooperation." Although Canada and Mexico were spared from Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs announced in April, goods from both countries entering the United States generally face a separate 25 per cent duty if they fall outside a North American trade pact. This figure stands to jump to 30 per cent for Mexico come Aug 1, while the level for Canada was set at 35 per cent. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration was "doing everything" possible to avert the duties and that she would speak with Trump if necessary to try to reach a pact. Trump told reporters Friday there was no deal with Canada so far. Brazil is girding for a virtual trade embargo on its planes, grains and other goods if Trump's threatened 50 per cent tariff on its exports takes effect on Aug 1. The United States runs a trade surplus with Latin America's biggest economy, which was not originally expected to face steeper tariffs under Trump's "reciprocal" duties plan. Trump has not attempted to hide the political motivation in targeting Brazil, citing a judicial "witch hunt" against his right-wing ally, former president Jair Bolsonaro, when he unveiled the tariff rate. The political nature of the spat makes a last-minute deal appear less likely.

Shrinking population share a wake-up call for Indian community
Size matters in Malaysian power politics. Every government looks at the country's ethnic ratio when creating policies. Like it or not, population sizes will be a perennial consideration, being directly or indirectly related to votes. Racial politics has not abated in the six decades of independence from colonial rule but has been exacerbated by issues of religion, something likely to remain a key factor in the nation's future. This is why the Indian community reacted with alarm, both privately and on social media, when the statistics department recently released its projections for the nation's population and ethnicity ratio. In 2059, Malaysia's population is expected to reach 42.38 million. The ethnic composition is expected to shift. The Bumiputera population is projected to rise from 69% in 2020 to 79% in 2060, while the Chinese population will decline to 14.8% (from 23% in 2020) and the Indian population to 4.7% (from 6.7%). In absolute terms, there will be fewer Malaysian Chinese and Indians than there are now. The number of Chinese will drop from 7.3 million to 6.3 million in 2059 while the number of Indians will drop from 2.2 million to 1.9 million. Only the Bumiputera population will increase both in percentage and absolute numbers. This is inevitable. The Chinese community does not seem to be overly concerned, being self-dependent and economically stable, with many sending their children abroad for studies and possible migration after that. Build quality, not quantity The projections have raised an alarm among some in the Indian community of a greatly reduced bargaining power as the decades roll on. As a solution, a few even suggested that they should have more children. Really? Obviously, this is an emotional reaction that will not help the community's problems. Politicians may encourage this for political reasons and self gain, not to help the community. The projected decline in population should not be taken as a wake-up call to have more children, but to improve the community's overall quality in key areas. While government help is vital for many Indians in Malaysia, they should move away from being totally dependent on handouts. The reality is that the already small share of the pie for Indians will only become smaller. Instead of championing quantity, leaders should educate Indians to invest in education, which remains a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. This has been emphasised over and over again, but it appears that only a small group is taking this seriously. Forget class, clan, caste Indians should wake up from their deeply entrenched class, clan and caste struggles and learn from the Chinese community, which displays exemplary unity when it comes to the cause of education. The refusal among Indians to stop identifying themselves by sub-groups is a significant challenge. There are so many associations within the community based on clans, ethnicity and village origins in India. Instead of wasting so much time and energy on causes that split the community, they should instead pool their resources to help the community strengthen itself in the various fields. By fostering a sense of collective identity and purpose, the community can also present a stronger voice in political and economic matters even if their national percentage drops. Such unity can lead to better representation and inclusion in policy-making processes. Build for the future The community should foster a culture of entrepreneurship by nurturing and mentoring young individuals. This can lead to the emergence of new entrepreneurs who can contribute to the economy and create job opportunities within the community. Richer Indians are deciding to have small families, while the low-income and less able Indians seem to choose having large families – a trend that has led to social problems such as many youths indulging in drugs and alcohol, and a high number of school dropouts. Indian families and leaders should seriously address this disturbing trend. The number involved in violent crimes and drug pushing is apparently high for the smallest community in the country. The fact is that the community will inevitably be reduced to a super-minority one day. There will come a time when even their votes won't matter any more. Their voices may also be ignored. Under the circumstances, a life with dignity and a cleaner image will be the best way forward. The views expressed are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect those of FMT.

Could China's Tibet mega dam help boost its sway with South Asian neighbours?
China's latest mega dam on the Tibetan Plateau could help draw neighbouring countries closer into its economic orbit by supplying electricity and boosting growth, analysts have argued. According to some estimates, the dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo will be the world's biggest, producing up to 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, three times the output of the Three Gorges Dam. State news agency Xinhua said over the weekend that its output would 'primarily deliver electricity for external consumption' but would also meet local demand in Tibet. But the project has drawn concerns about the impact on water supply and ecological risks downstream in India and Bangladesh, where the river is known as the Brahmaputra, although Beijing has said it was not seeking to benefit at the 'expense of its neighbours'. India is also worried about Beijing's efforts to strengthen its influence in South Asia, and Chinese observers said the project could help increase its sway over countries such as Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh, which have long struggled with power shortages. The project 'will undoubtedly become a major power hub for surrounding countries and related neighbouring regions', according to Zhu Feng, dean of the school of international studies at Nanjing University. 'It will have significant strategic value in boosting electricity supply and industrial growth in the surrounding regions,' he said. It would also play an important role in driving economic cooperation with its neighbours, something Beijing has made a priority in light of its rivalry with the US. Lin Minwang, deputy director of Fudan University's Centre for South Asian Studies, said that in the long run, the hydropower project could help draw Southeast and South Asian countries more closely into China's economic orbit through electricity exports. He said India might also benefit from the power generated from the dam, but border tensions would complicate the issue. 'The key issue is political relations,' said Lin. 'Northeast India is a highly sensitive area for New Delhi, and if electricity is to be sent to Bangladesh, it would require a transit route.' India has already been investing heavily in hydropower projects in Nepal and Bhutan to secure its own supplies. 'Whether those countries will choose China or India [for future power imports] is another much bigger question,' Lin added. The dam will be built close to the border with India and flows through Arunachal Pradesh, an Indian-controlled state that China claims as part of southern Tibet. Beijing has previously objected to Indian infrastructure projects in the state. Shi Yinhong, an international relations professor at Beijing's Renmin University, said the project was first of all designed to meet China's own power needs, and 'whether demand is sufficient in the present domestic economic downturn and whether it is environmentally less risky are other matters'. China has tried to address concerns about the environmental risk posed by the project and its impact on water supplies downstream, and said it would continue to strengthen cooperation with neighbouring countries. Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that the project 'aims to accelerate the development of clean energy' and 'comprehensive ecological and environmental protection measures' would be adopted. 'It will, as a by-product, aggravate the tensions with India and attract some Asean [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] countries to China's power diplomacy. So it has double effects both internal and external,' Shi said. 'It will correspondingly increase China's influence [in Southeast Asia], in a competitive geopolitical arena over which the US and its allies have somewhat preponderance, especially because of [Donald] Trump's most recent trade agreements.' Lu Gang, director of the Institute of International Studies at East China Normal University, said ensuring stable power supplies for its neighbours could 'help shape a positive image of China'. '[This] will build trust with other countries. And, naturally, economic dependence will follow,' Lu said. He also said the project may also have a longer-term strategic impact on regions such as Central Asia. 'For Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan – both have abundant hydropower resources, but their infrastructure is weak. So if the project in Tibet is successfully implemented and generates economic benefits, it will serve as a stimulus,' he said. - SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
