We are extremely proud of Guyana's economic and developmental transformation. We are delighted to see the impressive growth and progress being made in creating excellent infrastructure that should contribute towards Guyana's future development as one of the fastest-growing economies.'

It is also emblematic of the able leadership and vision of President Ali's government towards Guyana's progress and prosperity. I compliment you all for the people-centric, development-oriented and forward-looking approach, as India is also witnessing a similar rapid economic transformation with impressive infrastructure development. We are delighted to share our own experience and expertise and work with Ghana as a fellow democracy and a trusted friend to realise our goal of 'sab ka saath, sab ka vikas, sab ka prayas'. It is a sign of a healthy and flourishing democracy,' he added.

Trump threatens to arrest Zohran Mamdani if he defies ICE as NYC mayor
US President Donald Trump has threatened to arrest Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, if he defies federal immigration to reporters, Trump said Mamdani's refusal to allow ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to arrest undocumented immigrants in the city could lead to legal consequences. "Well, then we'll have to arrest him," Trump said when asked about Mamdani. "We don't need a Communist in this country, but if we have one, I'm going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation."advertisementTrump added, "We send him money. We send him all the things that he needs to run a government. And by the way, they get already, they get about three times what you get, Ron. If you look at the per capita, Florida gets one-third of what New York gets in terms of the numbers." He also addressed claims that Florida receives more because of its high number of Social Security recipients, clarifying, "That's not money to the state. Those are seniors that live here. If they move to North Carolina, you could count it there. So it has no interaction with the state government. They get more on the city and state governments than we get."TRUMP SAYS HE'S HERE ILLEGALLYTrump further escalated his criticism, claiming Mamdani could be in the country illegally. "We're going to be watching that very carefully, and a lot of people are saying he's here illegally. We're going to look at everything. And a Communist — but right now, he's a Communist. That's not a socialist. I've always said, we will not have socialism in this country... he skipped socialism."advertisementTrump didn't hold back, labelling Mamdani as a "total nut job" and adding, "I think he's terrible. He's a communist. The last thing we need is a communist." Mamdani, 33, was born in Uganda to Indian parents and became a US citizen in 2018. He rose to prominence through his outspoken support for Palestinian rights. He officially secured victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, with a final vote count on Tuesday confirming his upset win over former Governor Andrew Cuomo. He now advances to the general addressed Trump's accusations during a June 29 appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, rejecting the claim that he's a HOUSE HINTS AT PROBE INTO MAMDANI'S CITIZENSHIPThe Trump administration has also signalled a potential investigation into Mamdani's citizenship. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to Republican Congressman Andy Ogles, who suggested Mamdani's citizenship should be revoked, accusing him of hiding "terrorist" sympathies during his naturalisation a prior order from the Trump administration, the Justice Department had already directed its lawyers to start the process of denaturalising foreign-born individuals who were suspected of obtaining citizenship through deception or fraud.

Indian delegates meet IOC officials, Amdavad India's 2036 nominee
CHENNAI: India are successful in bidding for the 2036 Olympic Games, it will be hosted at Amdavad. Though the buzz was doing the rounds for a while, this is the first official communication that confirms that Amdavad in Gujarat will host the Games. What is interesting is that in the official communique between Indian stakeholders and the International Olympic Committee, Amdavad — the local name for Ahmedabad — has been put forward. As reported by The New Indian Express, an Indian delegation had flown to IOC headquarters for a meeting with Future Host Commission on Tuesday. Though new IOC president Kirsty Coventry halted the 2036 Olympic bid process, the officials consisting of Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha and Gujarat sports minister Harsh Sanghavi had flown to Switzerland for the meeting. Apart from top officials from Gujarat, there were other Union sports ministry officials as well. Since the host city plays an integral part in the bidding process, Amdavad seems to be the new nomenclature for the city. It will soon turn into a registered organising committee with trademark and protected by intellectual property rights like Paris 2024, LA28 or Tokyo 2020. When the IOA had sent the Letter of Intent in October last year, it did not name a host city. There were speculations that the Games could be held at different cities across India. But going by the official statement made by the Indian delegation from IOC headquarters, India are engaging in 'continuous dialogue' process. What seems even more interesting is that even Chief Executive Officer, Raghuram Iyer, seems to be back in the IOA fold. He was part of the India delegation as well. Majority of IOA executive committee members have been objecting Iyer's appointment in January last year. The IOC had earlier accepted his appointment.
