It was by design, they didn't suddenly get the idea. The forex increase (if you look at current account being small net accrual yearly at best) was driven by foreign loans, bonds etc (i.e capital account side). i.e it wasnt export driven (given pressing needs of imports that propelled side by...

Handover ceremony:

Good update on how things stand so far from the overall Indian perspective:

Nothing of the sort will be done. India desires as friendly relationship as possible with BD. BD has all it needs to ramp up its game stemming from Burma anyway. It is BD intelligentsa job to question why the GDP estimates by the BBS under the SHW regime have not materialised into commensurate...

He knows the limits of pre-election blab or they will be made apparent to him....given these are personnel sent to maintain, service, fly and train Maldivian defence forces w.r.t things like helicopters. Any funny business and India will restrict tourists to Maldives as required and other...

Havent heard much on it since. There was some talk in 2022 of India pressing BD govt to implement the MOU. I guess both sides wait till BD election is finished and see what the context is then (BD establishment bargaining strength and propensity on the broader matters) as this (coastal radar...

More asymmetric means will need to be explored and developed with regards to the first island chain off China's east coast as result. The alliance will want to minimize as far as possible a large breakout of chinese fleet formations where the raw equations (whatever the model right now w.r.t...

Missile test season is intensifying
