MP Al Dhaen Hails UK-Bahrain Defence and Investment Deals as Milestone in Global Cooperation
TDT | Manama MP Dr. Maryam Al Dhaen has praised the UK-Bahrain defence and investment agreements signed during the official visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to London on Thursday, describing them as a clear signal of international trust in Bahrain's strategic direction. Dr. Al Dhaen said the agreements underscore Bahrain's rising influence in global diplomacy and security, pointing to the Kingdom's leadership in forging partnerships that strengthen regional stability and long-term economic growth. She highlighted the potential of the new accords to advance cooperation in cybersecurity, defence training, and investment, particularly in sectors like artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. Growing Recognition Al Dhaen added that the reception given to Bahrain in London, including support for its UN Security Council bid, reflects the growing confidence in the Kingdom's role as a constructive, stabilising force in the region. She noted that the UK's engagement builds on Bahrain's earlier diplomatic initiatives under the Comprehensive Security and Prosperity Agreement (C-SIPA), broadening the scope of cooperation across defence and development fronts. Al Dhaen also expressed hope that the agreements would serve as a model for future collaborations, inspiring deeper integration among allied nations seeking to address global challenges through shared security frameworks and joint investment strategies.

Modi says Trump did not mediate Pakistan ceasefire
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Donald Trump that the ceasefire between New Delhi and Pakistan last month was worked out directly, a top Indian diplomat said yesterday. The US president had said that the two nuclear-armed neighbours had agreed to end a fourday conflict on May 10 after "a long night of talks mediated by the United States". sfdsaf It was their worst standoff since 1999, with more than 70 people killed in missile, drone and artillery fire on both sides. Officials from Islamabad and New Delhi confirmed the ceasefire on May 10, minutes after Trump posted the announcement on his Truth Social network. Indian officials said immediately that the ceasefire was worked out bilaterally, not with Washington. India's top career diplomat, Vikram Misri, said in a video statement on Wednesday that the leaders had spoken by telephone after Trump left early from the G7 summit in Canada, which Modi also attended. sff "Prime Minister Modi clearly conveyed to President Trump that at no point during this entire sequence of events was there any discussion, at any level, on an India-US Trade Deal, or any proposal for a mediation by the US between India and Pakistan," Misri said, speaking in Hindi. "The discussion to cease military action took place directly between India and Pakistan through the existing channels of communication between the two armed forces, and it was initiated at Pakistan's request." The last time Modi and Trump spoke was just after the April 22 attack on tourists in Indian-administrated Kashmir, which New Delhi blamed on Pakistan -- claims Islamabad denied. Misri repeated New Delhi's long held view that "India does not and will never accept mediation". He added that Trump said he would visit India for the next Quad alliance, the grouping that also includes Japan and Australia, expected later this year. "President Trump accepted the invitation and said that he is looking forward to visiting India", Misri added. The talks between the leaders come as India seeks to secure an interim agreement to shield it from the worst of Trump's socalled reciprocal tariffs, which are set to kick in July after a 90-day-pause. New Delhi is not an export powerhouse, but it ran up a $45.7 billion trade surplus with the United States in 2024. Analysts have indicated that tariff risks could impact India's economic outlook, with industry groups in sectors like gems and jewellery warning of potentially significant job losses.

Air India Retires Flight Number '171' Out of Respect After Ahmedabad
In the wake of the devastating crash that claimed 241 lives, Air India and its low-cost arm, Air India Express, have decided to retire the flight number '171' as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives. The ill-fated Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, operating as flight AI 171, was on its way from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick when it crashed shortly after take-off on Thursday. According to sources, retiring a flight number after a fatal accident is a common practice in the aviation industry. It's seen as a gesture of remembrance and a way to avoid causing distress to passengers and families in the future. Starting June 17, the Ahmedabad–London Gatwick route will be reassigned a new number—AI 159—instead of AI 171. The necessary updates to the booking systems were completed on Friday, sources confirmed. Air India Express, which also used the flight number IX 171 on a different route, has likewise decided to discontinue it. 'This small change is our way of honoring the lives lost and offering a measure of comfort to those grieving,' one airline source said.
