'Disturbing': Putin on World War III risk; flags concern over Israel-Iran conflict

Russian President Vladimir Putin (AP photo) Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said he was worried when asked whether he feared the world was moving towards a potential World War III, reported news agency Reuters. Speaking at an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin noted that global conflict risks were increasing. He pointed to Russia's own war in Ukraine and the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran. Putin also raised concerns about developments around nuclear facilities in Iran, where Russian specialists are currently constructing two new nuclear reactors for Tehran. "It is disturbing. I am speaking without any irony, without any jokes. Of course, there is a lot of conflict potential, it is growing, and it is right under our noses, and it affects us directly," said Putin. He added, "And this requires, of course, not only our careful attention to the events taking place, but also the search for solutions, the search for solutions, preferably by peaceful means, in all directions." Putin also said that Russia plans to expand military and technical cooperation with "friendly countries" by jointly producing weapons and training military personnel. The Russian President said Moscow aimed to modernise its own armed forces by equipping them with the latest weapons and technology. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo "We will harness new technology to improve the combat capabilities of the Russian armed forces, modernise military infrastructure facilities, (and) equip them with the latest technology and weapons and equipment," he said. Putin emphasised that Russia's cooperation with friendly nations would go beyond arms supplies or equipment upgrades. "At the same time, we intend to develop military-technical co-operation with friendly countries. And we are talking not only about supplies or the modernisation of equipment and weapons, but also about joint development, personnel training, and the creation of turn-key enterprises and production facilities," he said, according to Reuters. On the economic front, Putin said Russia planned to strengthen trade ties with its partners by removing barriers, opening new market opportunities, and deepening investment cooperation. Putin has already offered to mediate between Iran and Israel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. He claimed that Moscow's longstanding ties with both countries make it uniquely positioned to help broker peace. 'We are not imposing anything on anyone; we are simply talking about how we see a possible way out of the situation,' he said. 'But the decision, of course, is up to the political leadership of all these countries, primarily Iran and Israel.' Putin acknowledged the complexity of the crisis, saying 'it's a delicate issue,' but said that a solution to the conflict is possible. 'In my view, a solution could be found," the Russian president said. His comments come at a time of growing concern that Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and the potential for a wider war could draw in other regional and global powers.

Ilie Bolojan named Romania's new Prime Minister amid political turmoil and budget crisis

Nicusor Dan (Photo: AP) Romanian President Nicusor Dan on Friday nominated Ilie Bolojan, leader of the pro-European National Liberal Party (PNL), as the country's next prime minister, ending weeks of political uncertainty following the annulled December presidential elections. Bolojan, 56, currently Senate president, is known for his reformist credentials and administrative discipline. His appointment comes at a critical moment, with Romania facing a record-high budget deficit of 9.3% and lingering fears over foreign interference in its democratic institutions. 'Ilie Bolojan is best suited to make the necessary adjustments in the Romanian state apparatus,' President Dan said in a televised address. Dan himself was elected in a May rerun, after the December vote was annulled amid allegations of Russian meddling. The nomination must now be approved by parliament, which remains fragmented. Bolojan is expected to navigate a divided legislature while pursuing difficult economic reforms. In a press conference last week, Bolojan acknowledged the challenges ahead. 'Romania is in a complicated situation. The new government will need to implement unpopular measures — including possible spending cuts and tax hikes.'

Christopher Luxon, on his first visit to China since becoming prime minister in late 2023, flew to Beijing after two days of meetings with officials and business leaders in Shanghai, China's commercial center.

He called for deepening trade and investment cooperation and exploring cooperation in areas such as climate.

He also brought up the importance of what he called 'the key role' that China can play in helping to resolve global challenges such as the war in Ukraine, 'In a complex world, open dialogue is more important than ever,' Luxon said in a post about the meeting on X.

China accounts for more than 20% of New Zealand's exports of goods and services. 'Our trade and economic links are complementary and contribute to prosperity in both countries,' Luxon was quoted as saying in the news release.
