We are gravely concerned at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region," Pakistan's Foreign Office said.Notably, the condemnation came just a day after Islamabad backed Donald Trump as a candidate for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his "decisive diplomatic intervention" during last month's India-Pakistan standoff.

After taking $60 billion from China, Pakistan offers critical mineral assets in Balochistan to US during Asim Munir–Trump meet

General Asim Munir's meeting with Donald Trump explored potential US access to Balochistan's mineral wealth, challenging China's dominance in the region. Discussions included trade, AI, and energy, signaling a broader strategic partnership. This move aligns with US efforts to diversify critical resource supply chains, mirroring a similar deal being discussed with Ukraine. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Balochistan: Rich in minerals, light on development Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US signals interest amid push to reduce dependence on rivals The deal with Ukraine Broader Scope of Cooperation Pakistan's Army Chief, General Asim Munir, recently held a closed-door meeting with former US President Donald Trump in Washington, where discussions reportedly included a potential offer of access to critical mineral assets in Balochistan. This comes after China has already invested an estimated $60 billion in Pakistan, much of it focused on infrastructure and mining under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor ( CPEC ).While neither side has officially confirmed the terms, reports in Pakistani media and statements in parliament suggest that Washington may now be exploring commercial entry into Balochistan's mineral-rich zones—long seen as strategically important and previously dominated by Chinese covering nearly 43 per cent of Pakistan's land area, is home to some of the world's most sought-after raw materials. These include copper, lithium, rare-earth elements, gold, coal, and chromite. Despite its natural wealth, the province remains underdeveloped and politically the centre of attention is the Reko Diq project , one of the largest undeveloped copper and gold deposits globally. Canadian mining company Barrick Gold estimates it holds 7.3 million tonnes of copper and 15 million ounces of gold, with an additional 8.4 million tonnes in inferred copper to media reports and parliamentary comments in Pakistan, the Munir–Trump meeting touched on strategic access to Balochistan's minerals. This aligns with the United States' ongoing efforts to diversify its supply chains for critical resources, reducing dependence on countries it considers adversarial.A Pakistani lawmaker also raised the issue in the National Assembly, indicating that General Munir's US visit may have included negotiations involving Balochistan's rare-earth reserves. While the US has not made any official announcements, the development hints at a potential shift in mineral diplomacy in the to its interest in Balochistan, the U.S. is also in discussions with Ukraine for a $500 billion deal focused on critical minerals. The agreement aims to secure vital resources such as lithium and rare earths, essential for U.S. defense systems, emerging technologies, and green energy solutions. Ukraine, with its vast mineral wealth, is seen as a key partner in diversifying the U.S. supply of these crucial materials. This deal is expected to provide significant economic benefits to Ukraine, attracting investment for its mineral extraction industries. Ultimately, the collaboration aligns with U.S. interests in reducing dependence on adversarial nations and enhancing global influence over critical resources essential for technological and national security has been a dominant economic player in Balochistan, investing in ports, roads, and mining projects through CPEC. China has invested nearly $60 billion in CPEC corridor in Pakistan, the majority of which lies in Balochistan. It has been involved in copper and gold mining, including earlier phases of the Reko Diq project. However, Chinese investments have faced setbacks due to rising attacks by Baloch separatist groups, who oppose foreign exploitation of local entry of the United States into the picture could complicate the geopolitical equation in the region and potentially trigger concerns in Beijing, which has committed billions in strategic Inter-Services Public Relations said Munir's discussions with Trump also 'explored collaboration in trade, artificial intelligence, energy and emerging technologies.' The statement added that both sides want broader strategic and economic ties, with Trump 'indicating a willingness' to deepen engagement across sectors.

Shashi Tharoor Calls PM Modi "Prime Asset For India" In New Provocation For Congress

New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor - who led the ruling BJP's anti-terrorism diplomatic outreach to the United States, Brazil, and three other nations last month, after Operation Sindoor - has called for more support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "energy, dynamism and willingness to engage (with other countries)" and labelled it "a prime asset for India on the global stage". In an article published by The Hindu (paywalled) Monday morning, Mr Tharoor said the outreach - seven cross-party MP delegations visited 32 countries, including the US, the European Union and member nations, Saudi Arabia, and Russia - was "a moment of national resolve and effective communication (and) affirmed that India, when united, can project its voice with clarity and conviction..." He said the delegations explained the "calibrated and measured" nature of India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, underscored Pakistan's continued links to terrorism. He specifically referenced the crossover of Indian and Pak delegations in the US and said, "Even as a Pakistani delegation was simultaneously present, we found US representatives... echoing our concerns and urging decisive action against terror groups... our arguments, grounded in facts and consistent advocacy, were reinforcing the legitimacy of India's position." "We consistently highlighted the severity of the threat from across our borders, aiming to build global consensus to hold perpetrators accountable," he wrote, calling the outreach a success. Mr Tharoor was one a dozen opposition leaders who were part of these delegations; the list included high-profile figures like Mr Tharoor and others from the Congress, as well as AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, the Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Priyanka Chaturvedi, the DMK's Kanimozhi. The Thiruvananthapuram MP's selection increased friction between himself and his party; the two already have a frosty relationship over several issues, including continuing positive words for the PM. That friction has led to talk of a blockbuster political switch, i.e., the four-time Lok Sabha MP, who was also a former top United Nations official and a former External Affairs Minister, was preparing to jump from the Congress to Mr Modi's side. In fact, after news of his appointment to lead the US-bound delegation, arguably the most important of the seven, sections of the Congress called him a 'super spokesperson' for the BJP's 'publicity stunts' and accused of flattering Prime Minister Modi. However, Mr Tharoor has repeatedly dismissed talk of a switch, insisting he could not swap the Congress for the BJP. Speaking to NDTV last week he again played down any friction with the party, calling such incidents "differences of opinion... with only some elements of leadership". When NDTV asked him how he would define his relationship with the Congress today, Mr Tharoor pointed out he had been loyal to the party and its ideology for the last 16 years.
