India, Trinidad and Tobago to boost ties in health, digitalisation, agriculture

New Delhi: India and Trinidad and Tobago agreed to ramp up collaboration in healthcare, digital infrastructure and agriculture as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Trnidadian counterpart Kamla Persad-Bissessar focused on development cooperation as an important pillar in bilateral relations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Trnidadian counterpart Kamla Persad-Bissessar (PMO) The two countries signed six agreements during Modi's visit to the Caribbean nation, the first by an Indian premier since 1999. Trinidad and Tobago was the second destination in Modi's five-nation tour, and people of Indian-origin make up more than 40% of the country's population of 1.36 million. During their talks late on Friday, the two leaders called for greater cooperation on contemporary challenges such as climate change, disaster management and cyber-security. Modi appreciated Trinidad and Tobago's strong support and solidarity in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack. The two leaders agreed to work together for solidarity among the countries of the Global South and to strengthen India-CARICOM partnership, the external affairs ministry said. Modi and Bissessar also decided to build an inclusive and forward-looking partnership in healthcare, information and communication technology, trade, agriculture, legal affairs, skill development and sports, according to a joint statement. 'The two leaders acknowledged the common threat posed by terrorism to peace and security. They reiterated their strong condemnation of and resolute opposition to terrorism. They declared that there could be no justification for terrorism, including cross-border terrorism,' the joint statement said. Both sides emphasised the need for reforms in the UN and Trinidad and Tobago said it will support India's bid for permanent membership of an expanded Security Council. It was also agreed that India will support Trinidad and Tobago's candidature for a non-permanent seat in Security Council for 2027-28, while Trinidad and Tobago will support India's candidature for 2028-29. The two countries signed six agreements, including a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Indian pharmacopoeia that will allow closer collaboration in pharmaceuticals and provide improved access for Indian products to markets in Trinidad and Tobago. An agreement on Indian grant assistance for quick impact projects will strengthen the development cooperation partnership. The two sides also signed an agreement for cultural exchanges for 2025-2028, and three MoUs for cooperation in sports, diplomatic training, and re-establishment of two Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) chairs in Hindi and Indian studies at the University of West Indies. As part of efforts to expand cooperation in the digital domain, the two sides will explore collaboration in implementing Indian digital public infrastructure solutions, including DigiLocker. Trinidad and Tobago, the first Caribbean country to adopt India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) digital payments platform, sought support in digitization of the state land registration system. The Indian side announced a gift of 2,000 laptops to support Trinidad and Tobago's flagship educational programme, a gift of agro-machinery worth $1 million to bolster food security, and the donation of 20 haemodialysis units and two sea ambulances. Modi also announced a prosthetic limb camp for 800 individuals will be organised in Trinidad and Tobago. Earlier, while addressing the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago on Friday, Modi said India will work with its partners to give the Global South its 'rightful seat at the right table', create a fairer world order and ensure reforms of global bodies such as the UN. Modi, the first Indian premier to address a joint assembly of the Parliament of the Caribbean nation, described terrorism as the enemy of humanity and said India and Trinidad and Tobago must be united to deny terrorism any space. 'It is time for us to work together, to give the Global South its rightful seat at the right table. To ensure climate justice, so that the burden does not fall on those who have contributed the least to the climate crisis. We consider Trinidad and Tobago an important partner in this endeavour,' Modi said. Also Read: PM says India working to give Global South rightful place At a time when the world is facing challenges such as climate change, food, health and energy security, and terrorism remains a pressing threat, the 'Global South is rising', Modi said. There are also new challenges in space and cyber security and artificial Intelligence is unlocking new opportunities and risks.. The countries of the Global South 'wish to see a new and fairer world order', he said. Hopes about the realisation of long-pending reforms of the UN have 'turned into disappointment' and the 'voice of the developing world remains on the margins', he said. 'India has always tried to bridge this gap,' he added. India brought the concerns of the Global South to the centre of global decision-making during its presidency of the G20 and provided vaccines and medicines to more than 150 countries during the Covid-19 pandemic. India's development partnerships too are 'demand-driven, respectful and without conditions', Modi said, in an apparent attempt to differentiate India's role from that of China's Belt and Road Initiative. 'Our vision for such inclusive growth does not stop at our borders. We see our development also as a responsibility towards others. And our priority will always be the Global South,' Modi said. India is deepening its relations with Trinidad and Tobago and will encourage businesses to invest more in the Caribbean nation. 'We are also keen to collaborate on other digital innovations. As India develops AI tools to foster growth and development in the Global South, Trinidad and Tobago will be a priority nation for us,' he said.

Modi govt approves new deadly weapon for air defence, its name is..., may destroy Pakistan, China within...

Tension builds in Pakistan, China as Indian Armed forces to get 'Made in India' …, capable of eliminating threat in seconds, it is… QRSAM Air Defence System: Recent conflicts across the world have shown us that conventional war has changed drastically with new and advanced threats. Dangerous weapons such as suicide drones, precision missiles, and deadly fighter jets are capable of destroying their targets in no time. The technology used in weapons to deal with these threats has also improved. A powerful air defence system is capable of eliminating these threats within seconds. The Iran-Israel conflict has shown us the importance of air defence systems to safeguard military bases and cities. The Indian Army has short-, medium-, and long-range missile air defence systems, which can easily destroy enemy aircraft, helicopters, and drones approaching the Indian border. One more member is going to be added to this family of air defence systems. The DAC, headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, recently approved the proposal to add the Quick Response Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) to the Indian Defence Forces. The total cost of this project is said to be around Rs 33,000 crore. How Can QRSAM Provide Protection During Ground Attack? QRSAM is usually used during ground attacks in enemy territory. Whenever Indian tanks enter enemy territory, QRSAMs will also move along. If enemy tries air attack on Indian tanks, they will be stopped by QRSAM. It is developed by DRDO and its missile and radars are developed by the indigenous company BEL. The vehicle on which QRSAM is set up is being made by BDL. This surface-to-air missile system, which is mounted on an 8×8 truck chassis with six launch tubes, has 30-km range. Capable of intercepting and engaging six targets simultaneously, QRSAM features electronic countermeasures to prevent jamming. Successful testing has proved its effectiveness against various aerial threats, which includes fighter jets, attack helicopters, and precision-guided munitions. Does India Have Other Vehicle-Based Air Defence Systems? The Indian armed forces have been using vehicle-based air defence systems which were purchased from Russia decades ago. These include Shilka, Tungushka, Strela-10M, Osa AK and Pechora. However, these will be replaced by indigenous QRSAM. The Pechora air defence system is deployable in both mobile and stationary forms. However, it is now outdated and is being replaced by the Akash system.

Canada hikes proof of funds for foreign students

Toronto: Prospective international students seeking higher education in Canada will have to furnish proof of funds beginning September this year that is over 10 per cent higher than the amount specified at this time. A new Canadian citizen takes a flag during a citizenship ceremony at Canada Place on Canada Day in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Tuesday. (Bloomberg) In an update to its proof of financial support norms for those applying for a study permits on or after September 1 this year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) noted that the minimum amount required, not including tuition, will be CA$ 22,895 for the applicant alone. If the applicant is accompanied by family members, the amount increases. The current amount required for the applicant is CA$ 20,635, making the forthcoming hike nearly 11 per cent higher. Proof of being able to pay living expenses and other costs in Canada can be in the form of a bank account in the country with the balance available, a guaranteed investment certificate (equivalent of an Indian fixed deposit) for the amount, proof of a student or education loan from a bank, among other methods. Canada started taking measures with regard to international students since late 2023. On December 7 that year, IRCC announced for new study permit applications received on or after January 1, 2024, a single applicant will 'need to show they have CA$ 20,635 as against CA$ 10,000 earlier. The measure comes as the number of study permits issued to international students from India continues to plummet, down nearly a third in the first quarter of this year as against the corresponding period in 2024. IRCC data showed that the number of permits issued to students from India in the first quarter of 2025 was 30640, versus 44295 last year, a drop of nearly 31 per cent. Overall figures have also declined, falling from 121070 in 2024 to 96015 in the first quarter of 2025. This follows the trend of decreasing intake of international students after the Canadian Government started applying brakes on the influx in the last quarter of 2023. In 2023, Canada issued a total of 681155 study permits, with Indians comprising 278045 of them. Last year, that total slid to 516275 with the Indian component decreasing to 188465. Policy changes were instituted because record immigration was blamed, partly, for housing unaffordability, and pressure on health and transport infrastructure. After he led his party back to form the Government following the April 28 Federal election, Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear that position will not change in the near future as he said temporary residents, including students and foreign workers, will not account for more than five per cent of the country's population by 2027. On September 18, 2024, IRCC stated the cap for issuing study permits for 2025 will be at 437,000, down from the target of 485,000 for this year. The 'stabilizing' 2025 figure will also apply for 2026.
