    BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) — China recently released guidelines to improve the market-based distribution system for production factors related to natural resources and the environment, as part of the country’s efforts to accelerate the overall transition to green socio-economic development.

    This document was jointly issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China.

    The document outlines measures to deepen reforms in the area of trade in factors of production related to natural resources and the environment, including improving quota allocation systems, expanding the range of traded factors of production, optimizing trading systems and strengthening fundamental capacity in this area.

    According to the document, China aims to establish a basically sound carbon and water trading system and establish and improve a pollutant emission trading system by 2027.

    By then, the market mechanism for energy conservation will be further improved, and trade in production factors related to natural resources and the environment will become more active, which will contribute to the formation of more advanced pricing mechanisms, the document says. -0-

  • MIL-OSI: Best VPN for Streaming (2025): IPVanish Recognized as Top Streaming VPN by Software Experts

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK CITY, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Software Experts has recognized IPVanish as the Best VPN for Streaming in 2025, citing its strong performance across speed, server coverage, privacy features, and usability. The review highlights IPVanish’s consistency in unlocking geo-restricted content and delivering smooth streaming experiences across major platforms.

    Best VPN for Streaming

    • IPVanish: known for providing secure, encrypted connections that protect user privacy while offering access to a global network of servers.

    The recognition comes amid the growing relevance of VPNs for online content consumption. As streaming platforms continue to regionalize content libraries, users increasingly turn to VPNs to access media unavailable in their current location. VPNs allow users to connect to servers in other countries, bypassing regional restrictions while masking their IP addresses to maintain privacy.

    Software Experts identified IPVanish as a standout for its ability to reliably stream content from services such as Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Max, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus. The platform consistently provided access without interruptions, buffering, or failed connections during review tests. With more than 2,400 servers in over 140 locations and access to over 40,000 shared IP addresses, IPVanish offers geographic diversity that many VPNs lack. Its network includes servers in regions that are often underserved by competitors, such as Africa and South America. This wide footprint enables greater flexibility for users looking to stream regional content or access faster local connections while traveling.

    Speed remains a critical factor in evaluating VPN services, particularly when streaming high-definition or 4K content. IPVanish demonstrated reliable performance across its network, supported by the modern WireGuard protocol. Engineering improvements have made WireGuard significantly faster than older VPN protocols, with speed tests showing download rates consistently exceeding 80 Mbps. IPVanish’s self-owned infrastructure also minimizes reliance on third-party providers, allowing for better optimization and reduced latency.

    The service’s Optimal Location feature automatically connects users to the fastest available server, eliminating guesswork and enhancing performance. IPVanish also supports split tunneling, enabling users to route some traffic through the VPN while allowing other apps to use a direct connection. This flexibility can improve streaming quality and reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage.

    In terms of security, IPVanish incorporates essential safeguards that enhance both privacy and reliability. DNS leak protection ensures that domain name requests remain within the encrypted VPN tunnel, preventing unintentional data exposure. The Kill Switch feature disconnects internet access if the VPN connection drops, protecting users from accidental leaks.

    IPVanish operates under a verified no-logs policy, meaning it does not monitor, record, or store browsing activity or connection data. The policy has been independently audited, offering transparency and reinforcing the platform’s privacy commitments.

    VPNs have also gained attention for their role in avoiding internet throttling. Internet service providers may reduce connection speeds during high-bandwidth activities such as streaming. A VPN can help mask this activity, leading to more stable connections.

    As part of its ongoing service, IPVanish has introduced a new offering in collaboration with global eSIM provider aloSIM. New subscribers to the IPVanish Advanced 1-Year or 2-Year plan will receive a 3GB eSIM data gift. Valid in over 200 countries, the eSIM provides secure mobile data without the need for a physical SIM card. The data gift can be redeemed for local connectivity in the country of the user’s choice and is available through July 31, 2025.

    This addition supports users who travel frequently or work remotely, allowing them to access mobile data and stay connected with fewer complications. Instant activation through the aloSIM app streamlines setup, while no-contract pricing models offer flexibility. Together, IPVanish and aloSIM provide a bundled solution that combines secure browsing with dependable mobile data access, especially valuable for users navigating public Wi-Fi or network restrictions abroad.

    As consumer demand grows for digital tools that support privacy, security, and open access, VPNs like IPVanish are playing a more central role. The service continues to evolve to meet the expectations of users who value not just access to content but protection of their online activity across borders and platforms.

    Software Experts’ full review of IPVanish and its performance as the Best VPN for Streaming in 2025 is now available at Software Experts.

    About IPVanish:

    IPVanish, a Ziff Davis company, is an award-winning cybersecurity provider whose tools and products support internet safety, digital privacy, and online freedom. With a commitment to innovation, transparency, and user-centric solutions, IPVanish is a leading name in the VPN industry.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Mining in Motion Welcomes United Kingdom (UK) – Ghana Gold Program as Bronze Sponsor

    Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

    ACCRA, Ghana, May 30, 2025/APO Group/ —

    The United Kingdom – Ghana Gold Program (UKGGP) has confirmed its participation as a Bronze Sponsor at the highly anticipated – Ghana’s premier gathering for mining stakeholders, scheduled for June 2 – 4, 2025 in Accra. 

    Implemented by UK-based TAG International in partnership with the Ghanaian government, the UKGGP aims to combat illegal mining, promote the formalization of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), and enhance miners’ technical capabilities through targeted training and capacity-building initiatives. 

    At Mining in Motion, UKGGP representatives will engage with Ghanaian regulators, mining stakeholders, and international partners to address the pressing challenges posed by illegal mining and explore best practices for sustainable and inclusive mining development. 

    Despite generating over $5 billion annually in export revenue, Ghana’s ASGM sector loses up to $2.3 billion to illegal operations – a gap that can be significantly reduced through effective formalization. In response, the UKGGP is spearheading community development and skills training efforts in mineral-rich regions such as Aboso, Prestea, and Bondaye, aiming to equip miners with the tools needed to operate within the formal mining value chain. 

    Mining in Motion, with its strong focus on ASGM empowerment, formalization and environmental rehabilitation and sustainability, provides an ideal platform for UKGGP to showcase its mission and impact. UKGGP representatives will participate in high-level panel discussions, exclusive networking sessions, and project showcases, highlighting initiatives aimed at empowering ASGM operators, promote environmental rehabilitation, and drive sustainable mining practices in Ghana. 

    Organized by the Ashanti Green Initiative – led by Oheneba Kwaku Duah, Prince of Ghana’s Ashanti Kingdom – in collaboration with Ghana’s Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, World Bank, and the World Gold Council, with the support of Ghana’s Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the summit offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with industry leaders.

  • Era of broken roads and poor connectivity in Bihar is over, says PM Modi

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday underscored the crucial role of security and peace in unlocking Bihar’s development potential, recalling that the state’s journey from the days of ‘Jungle Raj’ to prosperity began under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s leadership. Addressing a large public gathering in Bihar, he noted that dilapidated highways, rundown rail networks, and scant air connectivity now belong to the past.

    PM Modi highlighted the transformation of Bihar’s aviation landscape. “Once, Patna was our state’s only airport,” he said. “Today, Darbhanga Airport is fully operational, offering direct flights to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.” He further announced that the new terminal at Patna Airport—capable of handling one crore passengers annually—was inaugurated just the previous evening. An additional ₹1,400 crore investment will now be channelled into developing Bihta Airport, he added.

    Turning to roads and bridges, the Prime Minister described the rapid expansion of multi-lane highways. He cited the four-lane corridors from Patna to Buxar and Gaya to Dobhi, as well as the Patna–Ara–Sasaram Greenfield Corridor, which he said is progressing at a “swift pace.” “New bridges over the Ganga, Son, Gandak, and Kosi rivers are not just steel and concrete; they are gateways to opportunity,” Modi remarked, pointing out that these projects—worth several thousand crores—are generating employment for thousands of young people and fueling growth in tourism and trade.

    On railways, PM Modi lauded the introduction of world-class Vande Bharat trains in Bihar and the ongoing doubling and tripling of key lines. “Work is advancing rapidly from Chhapra to Muzaffarpur to Katihar,” he noted, adding that multi-tracking between Son Nagar and Andal will significantly enhance train movement. “Over 100 trains now halt at Sasaram, a testament to our improved connectivity,” he said, while lamenting that previous administrations had exploited recruitment processes, delaying the railway network’s modernization.

    Emphasizing that development is incomplete without reliable power, the Prime Minister drew attention to Bihar’s remarkable growth in electricity consumption—now four times higher than a decade ago. He announced the construction of a major NTPC power plant at Nabinagar, with an outlay of ₹30,000 crore and a capacity of 1,500 megawatts. Projects for new thermal power plants in Buxar and Pirpainti have also been initiated, he added.

  • First women cadets graduate from NDA in historic passing out parade

    In a major step towards gender inclusivity in the Indian Armed Forces, the National Defence Academy (NDA) conducted its 148th Passing Out Parade on Friday, marking a historic milestone as the first batch of women cadets graduated. Held at the NDA campus in Khadakwasla, Pune, the event highlighted the growing role and representation of women in the nation’s military leadership.

    The event was reviewed by General Vijay Kumar Singh (Retd), the Governor of Mizoram and former Chief of the Army Staff (COAS). The ceremony saw attendance from proud families, senior military officials, and dignitaries from across the country.

    Calling it a “significant and historic” occasion, General VK Singh praised the pioneering spirit of the graduating women cadets. “This marks a historic milestone in our collective journey towards inclusivity and empowerment. These women represent ‘Nari Shakti’—not just in women’s development, but in women-led development,” he said.

    The parade signifies a turning point in the NDA’s 75-year history, where for the first time, women will join the ranks of commissioned officers after rigorous training alongside their male counterparts.

    A day earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh commended the increasing role of women in the armed forces while addressing a gathering in Goa at the flag-in ceremony of the Indian Navy sailing vessel INSV Tarini. The event celebrated the return of Lt Commander Dilna K and Lt Commander Roopa, who successfully completed a circumnavigation of the globe in double-handed mode as part of the ‘Navika Sagar Parikrama II’ mission. The duo became the first Indian women to achieve this feat with only two crew members on board.

    The Defence Minister also highlighted the contribution of women during recent military operations, notably Operation Sindoor. “Women pilots and other female soldiers played a crucial role in India’s decisive actions against terrorism in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir,” Singh said.

    Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives and injured many more. The operation targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the elimination of over 100 militants affiliated with groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

    “From the heights of Siachen to the depths of the ocean, Indian women are serving the nation with distinction. Today, the gates of Sainik Schools are open to girls, and 17 women cadets have graduated from the NDA this month. Their achievements have strengthened the security fabric of our country,” the Defence Minister added.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Improving lives through local climate action

    Source: Scottish Government

    Scotland’s Climate Action Hubs to receive £6 million funding.

    Community projects across Scotland aimed at improving lives through local climate action are set to benefit from a share of £6 million Scottish Government funding.

    Scotland’s nationwide network for Climate Action Hubs encourage and support climate action unique to their own areas from flood mitigation, repair shops and local energy generation to food growing and tree planting.

    There is now a Hub covering every area in Scotland fulfilling a previous Programme for Government commitment to ensure people are empowered to act on climate in their own neighbourhoods.

    Acting Net Zero Secretary Gillian Martin confirmed the funding during a visit to Buckie Thistle Football Club which is being supported by Moray Climate Hub to reduce its impact on the environment and raise awareness of climate change in local schools. 

    Ms Martin said: “I am very pleased to hear first-hand how Moray Climate Hub has been helping communities in the area support climate action from working with their local football team to identify ways in which they can cut their emissions to setting up a biodiversity garden for adults with learning difficulties.

    “Football clubs, like Buckie Thistle, play an influential role in their local community, and their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint will undoubtedly inspire others to do the same, and provide a template for climate action that other clubs can follow.

    “Tackling climate change is our collective responsibility and will require collaborative action at all levels. We must also share in the economic and health benefits that protecting our planet for future generations will bring. 

    “Communities are uniquely placed to play a critical role in shaping and driving forward the transition to low carbon and climate resilient living and we want to empower people to take action in their neighbourhoods that’s right for them. 

    “That is why we are proud to continue to support our hugely successful framework of regional climate hubs, which provide a vehicle for communities to come together and engage in collective grassroots action.”

    Moray Climate Hub Manager (Moray CAN) Louise Nicol said: “We’re delighted to receive continued funding , it means we can keep supporting communities across Moray to take meaningful climate action in ways that work for them. Working with Buckie Thistle has been great, and we are both learning so much from each other. Football is more than a game – it’s a community hub, and it’s a great way to open up conversations about the environment.”

    Buckie Thistle Football Club General manager, Stephen Shand, said: “We’re very grateful for the support from Moray Climate Hub – it’s helped us get our heads around what we can do as a club to be more environmentally responsible. We’re just at the start of the journey, but it’s exciting to learn more and see where small changes can make a difference. The help we are getting to find funding has been a huge boost to the club.”  

    Background

    A total of 24 hubs have been set up across Scotland – fulfilling a 2024 Programme for Government commitment.

The concerts will include well-loved songs performed by choirs from schools across the city alongside City Music Service ensembles.

    These concerts are always very popular, and I’d encourage families to book early and come along to support the next generation of Stoke-on-Trent’s musicians.”

    The City Music Service was established in 2002 and has played a vital role in making music education accessible, enjoyable and inclusive.

    Following the success of previous shows like Oliver!, The Sound of Music, and Nativity! The Musical, Encore’s latest production transported theatre-goers to a dazzling underwater world, complete with breathtaking costumes, a live orchestra, and a dynamic cast of talented young performers.

    Audiences were hooked from start to finish, completely captivated by the classic tale of Ariel, the adventurous mermaid who dreams of life beyond the sea. Many were left in awe of the stunning costumes, intricate choreography, and the incredible talent displayed by the cast throughout the production. From the dramatic confrontation with the sea witch Ursula to the heartfelt romance between Ariel and Prince Eric, the show was filled with memorable moments, vibrant dance sequences, and powerful vocals that brought Disney’s beloved story to life on stage.

    Featuring hit songs like “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World,” the production enchanted audiences of all ages and reaffirmed Encore PAA’s reputation for delivering high-quality musical theatre experiences in Strabane.

    Disney’s The Little Mermaid featured music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a book by Doug Wright. This amateur production was presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe), with all authorised performance materials supplied by MTI Europe.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: 18 persons arrested during anti-illegal worker operations (with photo)

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

         The Immigration Department (ImmD) mounted a series of territory-wide anti-illegal worker operations codenamed “Contribute”, “Rally” and “Twilight”, on May 26, 28, and yesterday (May 29) respectively. A total of 15 suspected illegal workers and three suspected employers were arrested.

    During the anti-illegal worker operations, ImmD Task Force officers raided 294 target locations including a construction site, residential buildings and restaurants. Fifteen suspected illegal workers and three suspected employers were arrested. The arrested suspected illegal workers comprised 10 men and five women, aged 26 to 67. Among them, seven men and three women were holders of recognisance forms, which prohibit them from taking any employment. In addition, two men and two women were also suspected of using and being in possession of a forged Hong Kong identity card. Three men, aged 29 to 59, were suspected of employing the illegal workers and were also arrested.

    An ImmD spokesman said, “Any person who contravenes a condition of stay in force in respect of him or her shall be guilty of an offence. Also, visitors are not allowed to take employment in Hong Kong, whether paid or unpaid, without the permission of the Director of Immigration. Offenders are liable to prosecution and upon conviction face a maximum fine of $50,000 and up to two years’ imprisonment. Aiders and abettors are also liable to prosecution and penalties.”

    The spokesman warned, “As stipulated in section 38AA of the Immigration Ordinance, an illegal immigrant, a person who is the subject of a removal order or a deportation order, an overstayer or a person who was refused permission to land is prohibited from taking any employment, whether paid or unpaid, or establishing or joining any business. Offenders are liable upon conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 and up to three years’ imprisonment. As stipulated in section 20(1)(a) of the Immigration Ordinance, the Chief Executive may make a deportation order against an immigrant, prohibiting the immigrant from being in Hong Kong at any time thereafter if the immigrant has been found guilty in Hong Kong of an offence punishable by imprisonment for not less than two years. Under the prevailing laws, it is an offence to use or possess a forged Hong Kong identity card or a Hong Kong identity card related to another person. Offenders are liable to prosecution and upon conviction face a maximum fine of $100,000 and up to 10 years’ imprisonment.”

    The spokesman reiterated that it is a serious offence to employ people who are not lawfully employable. Under the Immigration Ordinance, the maximum penalty for an employer employing a person who is not lawfully employable, i.e. an illegal immigrant, a person who is the subject of a removal order or a deportation order, an overstayer or a person who was refused permission to land, has been significantly increased from a fine of $350,000 and three years’ imprisonment to a fine of $500,000 and 10 years’ imprisonment to reflect the gravity of such offences. The director, manager, secretary, partner, etc, of the company concerned may also bear criminal liability. The High Court has laid down sentencing guidelines that the employer of an illegal worker should be given an immediate custodial sentence.

    According to the court sentencing, employers must take all practicable steps to determine whether a person is lawfully employable prior to employment. Apart from inspecting a prospective employee’s identity card, the employer has the explicit duty to make enquiries regarding the person and ensure that the answers would not cast any reasonable doubt concerning the lawful employability of the person. The court will not accept failure to do so as a defence in proceedings. It is also an offence if an employer fails to inspect the job seeker’s valid travel document if the job seeker does not have a Hong Kong permanent identity card. Offenders are liable upon conviction to a maximum fine of $150,000 and to imprisonment for one year. In that connection, the spokesman would like to remind all employers not to defy the law by employing illegal workers. The ImmD will continue to take resolute enforcement action to combat such offences.

    Under the existing mechanism, the ImmD will, as a standard procedure, conduct an initial screening of vulnerable persons, including illegal workers, illegal immigrants, sex workers and foreign domestic helpers, who are arrested during any operation with a view to ascertaining whether they are trafficking in persons (TIP) victims. When any TIP indicator is revealed in the initial screening, the ImmD officers will conduct a full debriefing and identification by using a standardised checklist to ascertain the presence of TIP elements, such as threats and coercion in the recruitment phase and the nature of exploitation. Identified TIP victims will be provided with various forms of support and assistance, including urgent intervention, medical services, counselling, shelter or temporary accommodation and other supporting services. The ImmD calls on TIP victims to report crimes to the relevant departments immediately.

    The International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) serves as an important legal public good for improving global governance, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Hong Kong on Friday.

    Delivering a speech at the signing ceremony of the Convention on the Establishment of the IOMed, Wang said that as an innovative initiative in the field of international rule of law, IOMed holds significant importance in the history of international relations.

    The establishment of the IOMed embodies the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and aims to fill the gap in mechanisms for international mediation, he said.

    The Chinese side expects all signatory countries to ratify the convention as soon as possible and welcomes more countries to actively join, said Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

  • France may toughen stance on Israel if it continues blocking Gaza aid, Macron says

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    France could harden its position on Israel if it continues to block humanitarian aid to Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday, reiterating that Paris was committed to a two-state solution to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

    “The humanitarian blockade is creating a situation that is untenable on the ground,” Macron said at a joint press conference in Singapore with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

    “And so, if there is no response that meets the humanitarian situation in the coming hours and days, obviously, we will have to toughen our collective position,” Macron said, adding that France may consider applying sanctions against Israeli settlers.

    “But I still hope that the government of Israel will change its stance and that we will finally have a humanitarian response”.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has hit back at growing international pressure over the war in Gaza, the deadliest fighting in decades of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

    Macron was in Singapore on a state visit and he will also deliver the keynote address at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia’s premier security forum, which runs this year from May 30-June 1.

    Deep differences between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel have stymied previous attempts to restore a ceasefire that broke down in March.

    Under growing international pressure, Israel partially ended an 11-week long aid blockade on Gaza 10 days ago. It has allowed a limited amount of relief to be delivered via two avenues – the United Nations or the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

    The French president said Paris is committed to working towards a political solution and reiterated his support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

    Macron is leaning towards recognising a Palestinian state, diplomats and experts say, a move that could infuriate Israel and deepen Western splits.

    French officials are weighing up the move ahead of a United Nations conference, which France and Saudi Arabia are co-hosting between June 17-20, to lay out the parameters for a roadmap to a Palestinian state, while ensuring Israel’s security.

    Israel launched its campaign in Gaza in response to a Hamas attack in its south on October 7, 2023, that killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 Israelis taken hostage into Gaza, according to Israeli tallies.

    The war since then has killed around 54,000 Palestinians, Palestinian health authorities say, more than in any other of the countless rounds of fighting between the two sides.

  • PM Modi meets IPL star Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his parents in Patna

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday met 14-year-old cricket prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his parents at Patna Airport during his two-day visit to Bihar. The meeting took place shortly before the Prime Minister departed for a major public event in Bikramganj, where he is scheduled to inaugurate infrastructure projects worth ₹48,500 crore.

    In a post on X, PM Modi said, “At Patna airport, met the young cricketing sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family. His cricketing skills are being admired all over the nation! My best wishes to him for his future endeavours.”

    Suryavanshi, who has captured the nation’s attention during the IPL 2025 season, became the youngest player to score a century in the tournament’s history. He was signed by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore in the last auction and has scored 252 runs in seven matches, including a record-breaking 35-ball century and a half-century.

    His recent performances have earned him a spot in India’s U19 squad for the England tour scheduled from June 24 to July 23. The tour includes a 50-over warm-up match, five Youth ODIs, and two multi-day matches against England U19.

    Earlier this month, during the inauguration of the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 in Bihar, PM Modi had praised the youngster’s extraordinary achievements. “We have seen the outstanding performance of the son of Bihar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, in the IPL,” the Prime Minister had said. “Behind his success lies not just talent, but tireless hard work and constant exposure at different levels of the game.”

    Suryavanshi’s cricket journey has been historic. He made his first-class debut for Bihar at just 12 years and 284 days and scored a half-century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. On the international stage, he holds the record for the fastest youth Test century by an Indian, a 58-ball ton against Australia, and was instrumental in India’s campaign in the ACC U19 Asia Cup.

    The young cricketer’s rise has been hailed as one of Indian cricket’s most remarkable stories in recent times, and his meeting with the Prime Minister is seen as both a recognition of his early success and encouragement for the road ahead.

  • Our armed forces turned terror hideouts into ruins: PM Modi on Operation Sindoor

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Karakat in Bihar on Friday, laid the foundation stone and dedicated multiple development projects worth over ₹48,520 crore, marking a major step towards boosting infrastructure and economic progress in the state.

    Addressing a large gathering, the Prime Minister said he felt honoured to accelerate Bihar’s development from its sacred soil. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to the people of the state for their continued support, especially acknowledging the presence and blessings of thousands of women in the audience. “The affection and trust shown by the people of Bihar, particularly our mothers and sisters, is a great source of strength,” he said.

    During his address, Prime Minister Modi referred to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed several innocent lives. Recalling his earlier visit to Bihar in the aftermath of the attack, he said he had promised the nation that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. “Today, I stand before you having fulfilled that pledge. Our armed forces turned the hideouts of those who conspired from across the border into rubble,” he stated.

    The Prime Minister underlined that the swift and decisive response by India’s forces had sent a strong message to the world. “This is the new India. The world has seen the power of the sindoor of our daughters. The terrorists, once emboldened by protection across the border, now cower in fear,” he added, referring to the military action termed Operation Sindoor.

    Describing the operation as a testament to India’s growing strength and resolve, PM Modi said the country’s military struck key enemy positions, including airbases and military installations, within minutes. “This is the India of resilience, courage and swift action,” he asserted.

    Paying tribute to Bihar’s legacy of bravery, the Prime Minister invoked the memory of Veer Kunwar Singh and noted the substantial contribution of the state’s youth to the Indian Army and Border Security Force (BSF). He praised the BSF’s valour during Operation Sindoor and described them as an unbreakable shield protecting India’s borders.

    PM Modi also honoured BSF Sub-Inspector Imtiaz, a native of Bihar, who was martyred in the line of duty on May 10. “The sacrifice of Bihar’s brave son will always be remembered,” he said.

    Reiterating his earlier statement from Bihar, the Prime Minister said that Operation Sindoor was just a glimpse of India’s capabilities. “This was only one arrow from our quiver,” he declared, reinforcing the message of a strong and assertive India.

    News story

    A like-minded partnership on Cyber and Capability Collaboration

    As we face complex technological challenges, sharing knowledge and expertise with our allies is essential to safeguard our mutual interests and strengthen our national security.

    The UK and Japan continue to deepen their strategic collaboration in cyber, working together to uphold a free, open, and secure digital world. From joint cyber exercises to the responsible use of cyber power, this like-minded partnership strengthens resilience and sets the global example of trusted cooperation in the cyber domain.

    DSEI Japan – Last week, Strategic Command was proud to lead the MOD presence at DSEI Japan in support of UK Defence and Security Exports (UKDSE) and Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry (Min(DPI)), the Rt Hon Maria Eagle MP.

    DSEI Japan is Asia’s only integrated Defence and Security Expo and, to some extent emulates the long-running UK model. As a forum, and in terms of its wider international importance, it is growing exponentially. This year DSEI Japan involved over 100 countries and delegations and over 300 exhibitors. For the first time DSEI Japan featured a keynote address from the Japanese Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba.

    The MOD delegation was in Japan to support UKDSE and the UK’s wider prosperity agenda, as well as supporting outreach on behalf of UK industry and Small and Medium-sized enterprises. Presentations at the MOD stand focussed on driving innovation, the Cyber & Electromagnetic (Cyber & EM) Domain and Global Strategic Trends 7.

    Working Together in Cyberspace

    Our involvement in DSEI was preceded by a joint UK-Japan cyber seminar at the British Embassy in Tokyo. The event signalled the next stage in the maturing of our bilateral co-operation across the Cyber Domain.

    HMA Julia Longbottom and Lt Gen Tom Copinger-Symes led the seminar with approximately 100 invited guests from across the Japanese MOD, and related think-tanks and media.  

    Japan is embracing the concept of Active Cyber Defence. Considerable resources and effort are being put into understanding the Cyber Threat and the whole of society response that is needed to maintain cyber security. New legislation has pushed the boundaries of Japan’s approach to Cyber providing new means for the Japanese MOD to protect citizens and continue to defend Japanese networks.

    The Active Cyber Defence legislation provides Japan with the legal permissions to – having been blocked by the constitution for over 70 years – intercept communications data for the purposes of cyber security and, in severe situations, to deliver offensive cyber operations. It also enables reforms to Japan’s cyber structures and public-private partnership mechanisms. The adoption of the Active Cyber Defence legislation is a significant milestone, as it meant flexing the boundaries of Japan’s constitution and long-standing political conventions.

    There is much both the UK and Japan can do to learn from each other, both in terms of training and supporting our people, but also operating differently to address cross-cutting threats to our ways of living, which demand and need whole of society responses. The UK’s Cyber Primer provides one model for how this can be done.

    Lt Gen Tom Copinger-Symes followed his presentation by giving a pooled interview to the Japanese media, during which he complimented the Japanese Government and MOD on the novel and far-sighted nature of their reforms. Calling it a foundation for “genuinely strong cooperation”, he reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to working with Japan and other partners to address threats.

    With reference to the recent, and ground-breaking legislation on Active Cyber Defence, HMA Tokyo, Julia Longbottom, said

    … we often say cyber is a team sport, but I’d go one step further and call it an international team sport relying on us all to play our part. So, it is only right that we commend that team. From the Japanese politicians, officials and experts who have been involved in the development of the legislation. To like-minded partners, industry and my own team for their tireless work to share lessons and learn from Japan’s transformational reforms.

    Deepening our Strategic Collaboration

    The MOD presence also served to highlight the continued importance attached to Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) and the close working partnership we enjoy with Japan and Italy, as partners in the development of this sixth-generation capability. Detailed conversations with our Japanese partners also emphasised the importance of the digital enablement of GCAP, including the overarching digital backbone and related architecture.

    In her keynote address, Min(DPI) emphasised the importance of the UK and Japan working together as trusted partners. Similarly, in her interview with Nikkei, she reinforced the importance of international collaboration by necessity, and the benefits of like-minded partners working increasingly together. The need to work differently with industry, particularly in the newer domains of Cyber & EM was also brought to the fore by Lt Gen Tom Copinger-Symes – here.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: More than 3 thousand km of roads to educational and leisure institutions will be updated this year thanks to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    In 2025, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, about 3 thousand km of regional and local roads to kindergartens, schools and other educational and leisure institutions will be brought into compliance with the regulations. Most of the facilities are planned to be commissioned by the beginning of the new school year.

    “High-quality and safe roads leading to schools, kindergartens and universities are a necessary condition for the comfortable life of children, parents and teachers. Good road surfaces, well-thought-out pedestrian crossings, lighting and necessary signs reduce the risk of accidents. In addition, a convenient route makes the work of school buses easier. This year, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, we plan to bring 854 road facilities up to standard – this is more than 3 thousand km of regional and local roads leading to educational institutions,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    Repair, reconstruction and construction of roads to educational institutions is, first and foremost, the creation of a safe space for children.

    “When carrying out work, we implement comprehensive solutions: this is the installation of lighting, speed bumps, pedestrian barriers, and marking. All these measures reduce the risks on the path of a schoolchild. This approach has already proven itself well. Let me remind you that in 2024, under the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, 920 road facilities leading to educational institutions were brought into compliance with the standard, their total length was more than 3.1 thousand km,” said Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit.

    The issue of reducing the risk of road accidents near children’s educational and leisure institutions has been a priority since the very beginning of the implementation of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”.

    “Children are the most vulnerable road users. Their safety depends on our attention and responsibility, as well as on the good transport and operational condition of the roads. Over the six years of implementing the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, we have managed to bring more than 5,000 facilities near schools, kindergartens, higher education institutions, etc. into compliance with the regulations. This work continues in the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”. At the same time, together with regional project offices, we are trying to maintain the principle of an integrated approach: if an educational institution is built or modernized in a region, the road to it is also updated,” emphasized Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

    Thus, in the village of Chigiri in the Amur Region, construction continues on a section of Krasnaya Street, which will become the access road to the new school. The three-story building of the new educational institution for 528 students was built at the end of last year. The completion of the work was eagerly awaited by residents not only of the village of Chigiri, but also of neighboring settlements.

    In Chelyabinsk, a section of Kharis Yusupov Street is also under construction, about 0.4 km long. In the immediate vicinity is the school building and preschool department of Educational Center No. 2. This is one of the largest comprehensive schools in Chelyabinsk and the Ural Federal District – over 3.8 thousand people study here.

    In the Chechen Republic, in 2025, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, five road facilities leading to schools and higher education institutions, with a total length of over 6.5 km, will be brought into compliance with the regulations. In particular, in Grozny, the reconstruction of a section of A. Sheripov Street, where the Chechen State University named after A.A. Kadyrov is located, continues. It was founded in 1938 and is now one of the leading centers of education and science in the North Caucasus Federal District. 15 thousand students receive education here.
