High-powered diplomacy for Modi government in September

GUARANTEED Absolute Lowest Prices ! www.dream-carpets.net

New Delhi (IANS): September is set to be a very busy foreign policy month for the Narendra Modi government, with five high-priority visits - incoming and outgoing - on the anvil, including President Pranab Mukherjee's visit to Vietnam -- his first abroad under the new dispensation. The beginning of the month will see Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking off to Japan for the annual bilateral meeting, during which the civil nuclear talks will be very much on the table. The prime minister heads to the US at the end of the month for his summit meeting with President Barack Obama. Before he embarks for the US, India will have two important foreign guests - Chinese President Xi Jinping in the middle of the month and before that Australian Prime Minister Tony Abott. In between these, President Mukherjee travels to Vietnam, taking forward the Modi government's policy of connecting with the immediate and extended neighbourhood. Ahead of the president's visit, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will visit Vietnam by August-end to lay the groundwork for the presidential visit. Vietnam's most powerful leader Nguyen Phu Trong, general s e c r e t a r y o f t h e Vi e t n a m Communist Party, was in India on a

state visit last November during which he had invited India to look for oil and gas in the South China Sea. Earlier this month, an Indian warship took part in exercises with the Vietnamese navy in the tense waters of the South China Sea whose sovereignty is claimed by China. A naval flare-up between the two countries in the disputed waters led to riots in Vietnam, which saw many Chinese-owned factories attacked and Chinese nationals being killed. India had voiced concern over the South China Sea tensions and stressed that "freedom of navigation in the South China Sea should not be impeded" and urged for cooperation to ensure the "security of sea-lanes and strengthening of maritime security". Ironically, the Chinese president will be in New Delhi just after

President Mukherjee returns from Vietnam. During Tony Abbott's visit, India and Australia are likely to ink the civil nuclear agreement, for which negotiations are complete. Inking of the agreement will pave the way for uranium imports from Australia, making it one of India's top strategic partners. Abbott is scheduled to visit India Sep 3, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his first visit to Japan. Modi is scheduled to visit Australia for the G-20 summit in November. India is also keen to ink the civil nuclear deal with Japan. In her bilateral meeting with her Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida in Myanmar, Sushma Swaraj had conveyed that India is "very keen" to conclude negotiations on the bilateral civil nuclear deal.

New Delhi (IANS): Senior advocate H.S. Phoolka Sunday questioned why former prime minister Manmohan Singh kept quiet about his house being attacked during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in the capital. In a release sent to the media, Phoolka, who is the petitioner in a host of 1984 riots cases, said: "Shocking revelation has come out in the interview of Daman Singh, daughter of former prime minister Manmohan Singh, on a TV channel with Karan Thapar." "She has revealed that during the 1984 riots, the house of Manmohan Singh in Ashok Vihar was attacked. The mob had almost burnt the house when Manmohan Singh's son-in-law saved it from burning. She has also disclosed that Manmohan Singh's family knew the people in the mob," he said. Daman Singh was apparently giving the interview to coincide with the release of her new book "Strictly Personal: Manmohan and Gursharan". "What is most shocking that Manmohan Singh, when he was prime minister for 10 years, kept silent on this incident," Phoolka said. "Though Manmohan Singh's house was not burnt, but in the same area, the mob, most probably the same mob, killed seven Sikhs, burnt four gurdwaras, burnt five houses, burnt seven shops, burnt 42 vehicles and also burnt 31 factories," he claimed.
