All eyes are on December 3 talks between the Centre and agitating farmer unions after the dialogue failed to end the standoff over the new farm laws on Tuesday. The 35 farmer leaders held a three-hour meeting with the ministerial delegation but the farmer unions rejected the government’s offer to set up a committee to look into issues raised by them and said they will intensify their stir until their demands are met.
Thousands of farmers, meanwhile, have assembled at Delhi's borders in Singhu, Tikri and Gazipur to take part in protests against the new farm laws.
In an exclusive interview with India Today, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described India as one of America’s most important strategic allies, confirming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the US for a standalone bilateral meeting in addition to the G20 summit.
China hosted the Russian and American presidents in consecutive state visits, positioning Beijing at the centre of global geopolitics. The Russian leader's two-day visit marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of a bilateral friendship treaty, resulting in a joint declaration advocating for a multipolar world and expanded trade using local currencies.
Rubio, initially caught off guard, asked for clarification. Upon learning which comments were being referenced, he dismissed the creators of those remarks as 'stupid people.'
As Delhi reeled under temperatures crossing 45 degrees Celsius, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio kept his remarks brief during the inauguration of the new US Embassy Support Annex building and joked about the capital’s scorching heat.
