Canada and India can build long term ethical economic friendship: Dr Rishi Singh
Alberta [Canada], June 17 (ANI): As the world's most influential leaders gather for the G7 Summit in Alberta, Rishi Singh, Honorary Director of the Kendriya Likhari Sabha (North America) has emphasised the importance of rekindling and strengthening ties between Canada and India during this pivotal global event. Speaking in an exclusive interview, Singh lauded the Canadian leadership under Prime Minister Mark Carney for hosting the prestigious summit in the picturesque Canadian spring. 'All the G7 leaders will be present and will be discussing vital economic trends and other global issues that significantly impact the world scenario,' he said. Singh highlighted the key figures attending this year's summit beyond the core G7 nations. Among the invited global leaders are Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. The UAE President was also invited but could not attend. Additionally, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and World Bank President Ajay Banga are participating. As a proud Canadian citizen of South Asian heritage and a keen observer of regional dynamics, Singh stressed that the summit offers a crucial opportunity for Canada and India to revive diplomatic engagement. 'This G7 Summit gives both nations a platform to hold bilateral talks and create new thrusts towards diversifying supply chains -- an issue also highlighted by Prime Minister Carney,' he said. Singh called for greater collaboration in areas such as technology transfer, innovation, agricultural trade, human capital mobility, and investment. 'India, with its youthful demographic and rapidly growing economy, presents a major opportunity for Canada. In turn, Canada must share its technological advancements to build long-term relations that extend beyond current leaderships,' he said. He envisioned a future built on 'mutual economic resilience' and described the desired bilateral ties as an 'ethical-economical friendship' that directly benefits the citizens of both countries. 'As we move into an era where resilient supply chains and collaborative innovation are key to global stability, Canada and India must come together not just as trade partners, but as allies with shared values and forward-looking visions,' Singh concluded. 'I sincerely welcome Prime Minister Modi to Canada and hope this summit serves as a turning point in Indo-Canadian relations.' The G7 Summit is expected to result in several global initiatives focused on economic cooperation, technological transformation, climate action, and geopolitical stability, with Indo-Canadian ties being a key area of interest.

Father's morale-boosting message wins hearts after son's 60% CBSE result
: Success in examinations is temporary but the parental encouragement necessary to instill the courage to face various challenges posed by life can be permanent. Whether a child scores 90%, 60% or even less, it necessary for parents to shun the path of panic, rebuke and scorn and, instead, deliver a morale-boosting message to their wards: 'We can start life from anywhere, anytime.' This is the sum and substance of a heart-warming and eye-catching message posted by an education official whose son passed the CBSE Class 12 exam with 60% marks. Aligarh basic education officer Rakesh Singh also posted his son Rishi Singh's marksheet. His post has been reposted by 230 X users. '... all the parents should encourage their children to pass the examinations which life will throw before them every now and then as they move out of the protective boundary of their schools and step into colleges to pursue their higher studies that will define their personality and character,' Rakesh Singh wrote on X. His post read: 'My son Rishi has passed his intermediate examination with 60% marks, many congratulations and best wishes son.' Delving into the thought behind his post, Rakesh Singh wrote, 'As soon as I posted his marksheet on social media, my son asked, 'Papa, are you not angry that I have got such average marks?' I told him 'no, I am not angry, rather I am as happy today as I would have never been on my selection in government services'.' 'Because you obtained 60% marks, I had only 52% marks in graduation, 60% in high school and 75% in intermediate. Those children who have got low marks or could not pass, their parents need not be disappointed and panic. We can start life from anywhere, anytime. I completed my intermediate and went to give the entrance test for graduation. I got admission in Allahabad University. As a boy, I did not know the ABC of history, yet scored 80% marks in history in 2000 in the Public Service Commission. I proved it, because of my determination.' 'Talent is present in every child,' he further wrote. '… I want to specially congratulate the parents of those children who have not achieved success. Remember your child is a precious creation of this universe, he will definitely grow up some day and do well...' Rakesh Singh's post read. A retired basic education officer, Lalita Pradeep, wrote: 'It is inspiring to see your journey. Plz convey my good wishes to your son. Children learn from parents the basic values of life. I'm sure guardians will find it inspiring.' Rishi Singh obtained 66 in English (core), 62 in geography, 70 in physical education, 53 in political science and 50 in history. He wants to become a lawyer and is waiting for counselling for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) to begin.
