QUAD condemns Pahalgam attack, says perpetrators must be brought to justice
The leaders made these remarks at the QUAD Foreign Ministers' meeting in Washington. The group also urged all the member states of the United Nations "to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard."
A joint statement was shared by the US Department of State, which read, "The Quad unequivocally condemns all acts of terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism, and renews our commitment to counterterrorism cooperation. We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, while injuring several others. We express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and extend our heartfelt wishes for a swift and full recovery to all those injured."
"We call for the perpetrators, organisers, and financiers of this reprehensible act to be brought to justice without any delay and urge all UN Member States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant UNSCRs, to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard."

Stiglitz & Cuerpo: The world has an opportunity to join hands on development again
At the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development this week, delegates are calling for urgent action to fix a system that has stopped working. Prior to the third such gathering a decade ago, in Ethiopia, we had witnessed unprecedented advances toward reducing poverty, increasing school enrolment and providing clean water worldwide. Today, however, progress is not only slowing, but potentially stagnating—or, worse, reversing. Global growth this year is expected to slow to its lowest rate (outside of a crisis) since 2008. The outlook is especially problematic for developing countries that are already growing well below historical averages, and for those 35 countries, mostly in Africa, that are already in or at high risk of debt distress. One out of every three countries now spends more repaying creditors than on health or education. Also Read: António Guterres: The world needs a rescue plan for sustainable development As debt payments crowd out money needed for development, these countries' futures are being jeopardized. Meanwhile, the global gap between the richest and the poorest continues to grow, with Oxfam estimating that the new wealth of the top 1% has surged by more than $33.9 trillion since 2015—enough to end poverty 22 times over. The situation won't change unless there are greater flows of finance to developing countries. Moreover, quality matters as much as the quantity: There has been far too much finance of the kind that leads to financial distress, and far too little of the kind that promotes sustained growth. We believe that finance for development is too important not to involve every stakeholder. As the late Pope Francis emphasized, doing so is a moral obligation. That is the message of the Vatican's new Jubilee Report on debt, reflecting the work of a global commission of experts—which one of us (Stiglitz) chaired. But fixing development finance is also a matter of self-interest for most advanced economies. After all, poverty and inequality give rise to social tension, diseases and conflicts, with spillovers that do not respect national boundaries. Moreover, a lack of finance in developing countries implies a lack of investment in climate-change mitigation, a global public good that is necessary for everyone's future prosperity. Also Read: Debt relief for poor countries: Time for a whole new effort to be made? With the world so divided, and so afflicted by the exercise of raw power and short-term thinking, the Sevilla conference should be seen as an opportunity to renew multilateralism for the common good. But it will need to be more than just an exercise in speech-making about the hope of a better future. Such rhetoric must be translated into tangible progress, and there are some signs that this could happen. The outcome document, the Compromiso de Sevilla, forged at the United Nations in New York, gives us confidence that this gathering will lay the foundation for a new debt and financial architecture. Specifically, Spain has launched the Sevilla Platform for Action, providing a comprehensive framework for coalitions of the willing to advance ambitious but feasible initiatives that will drive material progress in addressing challenges related to sustainable development. Also Read: Can the IMF solve the poor world's debt crisis? For example, we should see the launch of a Global Hub for Debt Swaps to generate more fiscal space for investment in sustainable growth; a Debt Pause Clause Alliance, to ease pressure on vulnerable countries' budgets when they are squeezed by extraordinary events; a broad push to re-channel International Monetary Fund special drawing rights (SDRs)—the IMF's global reserve asset, held mostly by wealthy countries—towards more effective uses; steps to strengthen the voices of debtor countries through a borrower-country platform; and the start of an intergovernmental process on debt restructuring at the UN, following principles that were already agreed to by an overwhelming majority of member states a decade ago. These steps represent just the start. In time, the Sevilla conference could be remembered not as a landing zone, but as a launchpad for further action. But for that to happen, we must continue to push for more ambitious yet feasible solutions. For example, creating a jubilee fund with $100 billion worth of untapped SDRs for debt buybacks would provide the most vulnerable countries with resources that they desperately need to promote sustainable growth. Equally, one can imagine broader frameworks for debt-for-nature and debt-for-development swaps, as well as new and fairer green trade and investment agreements that enhance domestic resources and facilitate developing countries' participation in the global effort to address climate change. Also Read: This time for Africa: With USAID slashed, India and Japan must step in to support development The Sevilla conference represents an opportunity to look at finance comprehensively and send a strong message of the world's commitment to—and trust in—multilateralism. We remain optimistic because we believe in the power of pragmatism. By focusing on workable solutions that go beyond the text of whatever agreement emerges, we can finally put development back on track. ©2025/Project Syndicate The authors are, respectively, a Nobel laureate in economics and professor at Columbia University; and Spain's minister of the economy, trade, and business.

Overseas players to be approached as National Sports Policy 2025 aims to transform India as a sporting nation
Allowing Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) to represent India in sport has been a widely discussed topic in recent years, especially in football, and National Sports Policy 2025, which replaces National Sports Policy 2001, intends to make that possible besides making the 2036 Olympics in the country a reality. read more The inclusion of overseas players of Indian origin has been widely discussed in football in recent months. Image: PTI In what could be a game-changing move for India in sports such as football, overseas players of Indian origin will be encouraged to play for the country as per National Sports Policy 2025, which was unveiled by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. The new policy, titled 'Khelo Bharat Niti 2025' in Hindi, replaces National Sports Policy 2001 and aims to reshape the country's sporting landscape by 2047 – on the 100th anniversary of India's independence from Britain – with the focus on hosting the Summer Olympics in 2036. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Discussion on the inclusion of overseas players of Indian origin had gained momentum in recent months, especially after Bangladesh got former Leicester City defensive midfielder Hamza Choudhary on board, and with the Blue Tigers experience a sharp decline in their on-field performance which has resulted in a freefall in the FIFA rankings. A 2008 ban on Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) card holders from representing India has impacted the country's fortunes in sports such as football and tennis, leaving Indian passport holders as the only people eligible to play for the country which the new policy aims to rectify going forward. The 20-page document, however, states that India makes mention of Peace and International Cooperation Activities through Sports, with New Delhi aiming to harness the power of sport and use it for international diplomacy and co-operation. 'Wherever feasible, promising and prominent Indian-origin athletes living abroad may be encouraged to come back and play for India at the international level,' it states. 'Together, these efforts can transform sport into a dynamic tool of cultural diplomacy and nation-building, strengthening the global Indian identity.' 'This is the next chapter in India's sports ecosystem' Tennis legend Mahesh Bhupati, a multiple Grand Slam winner in men's as well as mixed doubles and has also co-founded the World Padel League, hailed the new policy for reflecting the country's ambition of becoming a 'global sporting powerhouse'. 'The National Sports Policy 2025 reflects India's growing ambition to be recognised as a global sporting powerhouse. What's exciting is that this policy doesn't just focus on established sports but also creates space for emerging ones like padel. The emphasis on building competitive leagues, developing infrastructure across rural and urban areas, and driving private sector collaboration is exactly what newer sports like padel need to flourish. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'This is the next chapter in India's sports ecosystem - one that will fuel participation, investment, and global excellence. We are excited to be part of this journey by bringing the World Padel League to India and making padel a mainstream sport, as India broadens its sporting horizons. Here's to many more sporting milestones in the future!' Bhupathi said. Nasir Ali, Founder and CEO of Gallant Sports, described it as a 'monumental day for Indian sports'. 'The approval of the National Sports Policy (NSP) 2025 marks a monumental day for Indian sports and, by extension, the sports infrastructure sector. As a leading manufacturer in this space, we are incredibly enthusiastic about the policy's comprehensive vision—particularly its focus on strengthening sports programs from grassroots to elite levels, its commitment to developing infrastructure in both rural and urban areas, and its emphasis on Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for economic development. 'The government's landmark decision to include sports infrastructure under the Harmonised Master List of Infrastructure Sub-sectors is a huge step forward, opening up institutional credit, attracting greater investment, and empowering companies like Gallant Sports to fast-track the creation of world-class facilities nationwide,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Besides the inclusion of OCIs as well as helping India achieve its dream of hosting the Olympics, the National Sports Policy also eyes the revival of indigenous sports, inculcate a culture of fitness across the country at all ages

How is the India-US trade deal shaping up?
Though US President Donald Trump has expressed optimism that a bilateral trade deal (BTA) with India can be concluded soon, the two sides are said to be apart on key issues including dairy and agriculture. This comes as Trump's July 9 deadline, following which reciprocal tariffs will be reimposed, draws nearer and nearer. But what did Trump say? How is the India-US trade deal shaping up? read more President Donald Trump shakes hands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Oval Office of the White House. AP US President Donald Trump has expressed optimism about a possible bilateral trade deal (BTA) with India. Though there are reports that the trade deal might be finalised this week, the two sides are said to be apart on key issues including agriculture. Trump, who had initially imposed reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries including a 26 per cent levy on India on April 2, had issued a 90day-pause in order to allow countries to negotiate. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But with the July 9 deadline is drawing nearer and nearer, India and the US have still not reached a deal. But what did Trump say? How is the India-US trade deal shipping up? Let's take a closer look: What Trump said First let's take a brief look at what Trump said. Trump said he thinks the United States and India would reach a bilateral trade agreement. 'I think we are going to have a deal with India. And that is going to be a different kind of a deal. It is going to be a deal where we are able to go in and compete. Right now, India does not accept anybody in. I think India is going to do that, and if they do that, we are going to have a deal for much less tariffs,' Trump said. President Donald Trump said a deal could be imminent. AP Trump's remarks came after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said that India and the US were 'very close' on a deal. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday had expressed optimism about a deal being concluded. 'We are in the middle — hopefully more than the middle — of a very intricate trade negotiation,' Jaishankar said. 'Obviously, my hope would be that we bring it to a successful conclusion. I cannot guarantee it, because there's another party to that discussion.' Trump in June said the deal with India was imminent. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We have one coming up, maybe with India. A very big one. Where we're going to open up India,' Trump said. 'We're not going to make deals with everybody. Some, we are just going to send them a letter, say thank you very much… My people don't want to do it that way. They want to do some of it, but they want to make more deals than I would do', he added. Now, let's take a look at what we know about the negotiations. How are negotiations going? The Indian delegation led by chief negotiator Rajesh Aggarwal had landed in the United States on Friday. The team, which is negotiating with US officials including those from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), has now extended its stay in Washington. Both teams, mindful of the upcoming deadline set by Trump, were said to be in fierce negotiations over the BTA. However, key sticking points remain. New Delhi is said to be adamant about carving out protections for its dairy and agriculture industry. This is out of consideration for the millions of farmers working on small landholdings across the country. This can also be both a politically and economically sensitive issue to navigate. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India is said to be adamant about protecting its farmers. PTI India, for those not in the know, has never opened up its dairy sector to a foreign competitor. India is the biggest producer of milk in the world. Experts also say any reduction in tariffs on dairy and agriculture could undermine India's Minimum Support Price (MSP) system – which could be devastating to farmers. However, the US negotiators seem insistent about opening up a new market for its agricultural products including genetically modified crops, apples, reducing tariffs on skimmed milk powder and poultry products. India has been reluctant to allow genetically modified crops to be sold out of health concerns. India has banned the commercial cultivation of genetically modified crops. Washington, which is looking to bring down its $54 billion trade deficit with New Delhi, wants to export maize, soya bean, cotton and corn to India. India has told negotiators reducing tariffs on skimmed milk powder and poultry would hurt its small farmers. Indian officials have described the dairy sector as a 'red line' that cannot be crossed. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD They earlier insisted that India's national interest will come first in any deal. The US also wants large-scale commitments from India to buy Boeing aircraft, choppers and nuclear reactors. Washington may also pursue trying to get India to relax its FDI rules – which would benefit US behemoths such as Amazon and Walmart. Officials say that India can likely bring down tariffs for ethanol, almonds, apples, raisins, avocados, olive oil, spirits and wines. New Delhi, on the other hand, wants the United States to reduce levies on auto imports and Indian steel. India also wants preferential access for its labour-intensive exports, such as textiles and garments, gems and jewellery, leather goods, and agricultural products like shrimp, oilseeds, grapes, and bananas. The US wants India to open up its agriculture, dairy, aviation and energy sectors, while New Delhi is looking for Washington to cut tariffs on steel and auto parts Officials say that these will not likely hurt those selling these products domestically in the US. Though the government think tank Niti Aayog had in a working paper in May suggested that India can relax tariffs on 'soybean oil imports', that paper has now been taken offline – which raises many questions. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India remains the world's biggest importer of edible oil. Officials say that reducing tariffs on maize and soybeans would hurt Indian small farmers. Similarly, bringing down tariffs on maize would result in the production becoming unfeasible for local farmers. If talks don't pan out, India will likely face a 10 per cent across the board levy rather than the 26 per cent tariff Trump imposed. But experts say a 'limited trade pact', like the one the US and UK announced on May 8, is likely. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump in February had agreed to increase bilateral trade, which was at $262 billion in 2024, to $500 billion by 2030. With inputs from agencies
