The Philippines has lodged a diplomatic protest against China after Chinese fighter jets fired flares near a Philippine air force patrol plane over the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. This incident, the first of its kind since last year’s heightened tensions, has raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region.
India has formally raised concerns with Canadian authorities regarding public displays of violence and hatred targeting the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. During a pro-Khalistan demonstration in the Greater Toronto Area, a float depicted Gandhi being assassinated and posters promoting violence were displayed. This follows a similar incident in Vancouver last week, prompting India to urge Canadian authorities to take strong action against such displays.
