This summary this week highlights the significant international events that have transpired over the course of the year.
In the month of January, Chinese newspaper Global Times praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his achievements in global politics, highlighting India's economic, political, and social achievements. India has become one of the fastest-growing major economies and advocates for a multi-alignment strategy, promoting relations with the US, Japan, Russia, and other countries and regional organizations. On the other hand, tensions escalated in the East Asian region as North Korea fired over 200 rounds of artillery shells, posing a severe security threat to South Korea and global security. The Israel-Hamas conflict intensified as Israel accused the International Court of Justice of being a 'legal arm' of Hamas. Also, India signed a significant Lithium exploration pact with Argentina, one of the three Lithium Triangle countries in Latin America. This move was seen as a major step to boost green development and contain China in the region. China got concerned about the new anti-Chinese President in Taiwan, Lai Ching-te, who is labelled as an 'instigator of war' by China. US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, wholeheartedly praised Indian Prime Minister for his remarkable achievements and the establishment of India-US relations.
Amid all these developments, France's President visited India for Republic Day celebrations highlighting the deepening strategic partnership between the two nations. The visit highlighted the growing cooperation in various sectors such as defence, security, space, civil nuclear energy, education, trade, and cultural exchanges.
