Japan publishes routes of Chinese aircraft carriers operating around country
Japan's Defense Ministry has published the routes taken by two Chinese aircraft carriers that have been navigating in waters around the country last month to this month. The ministry released the details on the ships' prolonged activities on Tuesday. It is quite rare for the ministry to disclose the movements of foreign warships. The release came after the carriers Liaoning and Shandong were first spotted at the same time in the Pacific earlier this month. The ministry said fighter jets from the Shandong flew extremely close to a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense patrol plane on June 7 and 8. It expressed serious concerns over the incident. The ministry said the Liaoning passed between Okinawa Prefecture's main island and Miyakojima Island in late May and traveled southward to a position east of the Philippines. The aircraft carrier then changed course to the northeast and entered Japan's exclusive economic zone on June 7 near Minamitorishima, the nation's easternmost island. The Liaoning moved on, turning westward. On Monday, it was spotted navigating in waters southwest of Okinotorishima Island. During this period, fighter jets and helicopters from the carrier were reportedly seen taking and landing around 550 times. Regarding the Shandong, the ministry said that the vessel was heading eastward in waters southeast of Miyakojima Island on June 7. It then sailed clockwise within or around Japan's EEZ near Okinotorishima Island. On Monday, the ship was spotted moving westward southeast of Miyakojima Island. In that time frame, a total of around 230 take-offs and landings of carrier-based aircraft were reportedly confirmed. As of Tuesday, the two Chinese vessels were in the Pacific sailing toward China. The Defense Ministry is cautiously monitoring the situation.

This strategic collaboration enables federal, state, and local government entities to procure RMXI VAST™ solutions at pre-negotiated pricing and terms, streamlining the acquisition process and accelerating deployment timelines. Being on the GSA Schedule offers companies a significant advantage when doing business with the U.S. government. It streamlines the procurement process by providing a pre-approved contracting vehicle, allowing federal agencies to purchase products and services more quickly and efficiently without going through lengthy bid procedures.

India, Maldives hold High-Level Core Group Meeting; discuss implementation of joint vision document
New Delhi: India and the Maldives on Monday held a High-Level Core Group (HLCG) meeting to oversee progress in implementing the India-Maldives Vision Document on Comprehensive Economic and Maritime Security Partnership. "Maldives Foreign Minister Abdulla Khaleel led the Maldives delegation in the meeting. During the meeting, the discussions focused on implementation of the Joint Vision by intensifying political exchanges, defence and security cooperation, development partnership, trade, economy, health and people-to-people linkages," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a release. Khaleel condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and expressed solidarity with the people and government of India. He thanked Indian government for the timely emergency financial assistance extended to Maldives. The MEA stated, "Foreign Minister Dr. Khaleel strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April 2025. He expressed Maldives' solidarity with the people and Government of India and its firm support to India in the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Foreign Minister Dr. Khaleel also thanked Government of India for the timely emergency financial assistance extended to Maldives, which has made a positive impact on the everyday life of Maldivians." During his visit to India, Khaleel held a bilateral meeting with External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar. During the meeting, the two sides discussed issues of mutual interest. The two nations decided that the 3rd HLCG meeting will be held in Male, Maldives on mutually convenient dates. MEA called Maldives India's "key maritime neighbour" and an important partner in India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and Vision MAHASAGAR. In a press release, MEA stated, "Maldives is India's key maritime neighbour and an important partner in India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and Vision MAHASAGAR, i.e., Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions.

Maldives Foreign Minister arrives in Delhi, set to attend High Level Core Group meeting
New Delhi: Maldives Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdulla Khaleel, arrived in New Delhi on Sunday for a three-day visit to India. Khaleel will lead the Maldivian delegation at the 2nd High Level Core Group (HLCG) meeting. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal extended a warm welcome to Khaleel. In a post on X, Jaiswal stated, "Implementing the India - Maldives Joint Vision of a 'Comprehensive Economic & Maritime Security Partnership'. Warm welcome to FM @abkhaleel of Maldives to India. FM Dr. Khaleel will lead the Maldivian delegation at the 2nd High Level Core Group (HLCG) meeting which oversees implementation of the Joint Vision." Earlier this month, the Centre extended support to India's maritime neighbour, Maldives by rolling over the USD 50 Million treasury bill. Khaleel had expressed gratitude to the Indian government and hailed the timely assistance which "reflects the close bonds of friendship" between the two countries. In the statement shared on X, the High Commision of India to Maldives said, "India extends financial support to the Maldives through the rollover of the USD 50 million Treasury Bill." According to the statement, after the request by the Government of Maldives, the State Bank of India (SBI) has subscribed, for one more year, a USD 50 million Government Treasury Bill issued by the Ministry of Finance of Maldives. It was noted that since March 2019, India has been facilitating the subscription of several such Treasury Bills by the SBI and rolling them over annually interest-free to the Government of Maldives. This is a part of the unique government-to-government arrangement between the two countries that serves as emergency financial assistance to the maritime neighbour. Extending gratitude to the Indian Government, Khaleel in a post on X stated, "I express my sincere gratitude to EAM @DrSJaishankar and the Government of #India for extending crucial financial support to the #Maldives through the rollover of the USD 50 million Treasury Bill. This timely assistance reflects the close bonds of friendship between #Maldives & #India and will support the Government's ongoing efforts to implement fiscal reforms for economic resilience."
