India’s position on the two-state solution is a long-held position. I don’t think there is any need to restate anything to this at this stage. In IMEC, work can proceed in parallel. The security situation impacts only certain areas at a particular point in time. It is possible to do work on this particular project in a distributed fashion,” Mr. Misri said, addressing a press event about Mr. Modi’s trip. The IMEC project was started …

Published by Parlour News

Amid rising protectionist measures in India and the West against the rapid surge of Chinese imports in crucial sectors, External Affairs Minister S.

On the other hand, there is a social and political backlash against globalisation because the way it …
