अमेरिका ने भारत से GSP दर्जा छीना
अमेरिका ने भारत को मिले सामान्य तरजीही प्रणाली (GSP) दर्जे को खत्म कर दिया है, जो पांच जून से लागू हो जाएगा। अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति डॉनल्ड ट्रंप ने वाइट हाउस में इसकी घोषणा की है। ट्रंप ने चार मार्च को इस बात की घोषणा की थी कि वह जीएसपी कार्यक्रम से भारत को बाहर करने वाले हैं। इसके बाद 60 दिनों की नोटिस अवधि तीन मई को समाप्त हो गई।

अब चीन को इस देश ने दिखाई आंख
दक्षिण चीन सागर (SCS) पर चीन और इंडोनेशिया के बीच तनातनी जारी है। हाल में इंडोनेशिया ने चीन के दावे वाले दक्षिण चीन सागर के सुदूर उत्तरी हिस्से को सार्वजनिक तौर पर अपना स्पेशल इकॉनिमक जोन बता डाला। हालांकि चीन ने तुरंत ही इंडोनेशिया के दावे को 'अर्थहीन' बताया है।

ASEAN-led mechanism
The US, India, Australia and Japan collectively came out in strong support of an ASEAN-led mechanism to preserve and promote rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region where China is flexing its muscles.

India’s infant mortality rate falls
India’s infant mortality rate (IMR) has fallen from 42 in 2012 to 33 in 2017. However, the pace of change appears to have slowed down when compared to the five years before 2012, when it fell from 55 to 42. Given that India’s IMR is even today worse than those of South Asian neighbours Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, the slowdown is worrying.

अमेरिका-ईरान तनाव के बीच Air India का बड़ा फैसला
अमेरिका और ईरान के बीच तनाव लगातार बढ़ता जा रहा है। इसका असर अब दिखना भी शुरू हो गया है। ईरान ने अमेरिका का ड्रोन मार गिराया अब दोनों देशों के बीच तल्खी काफी बढ़ती जा रही है। इस बीच एयर इंडिया ने भी अपने विमानों को ईरान के एयरस्पेस में न भेजने का फैसला किया है। एयर इंडिया के सीएमडी अश्वनी लोहानी ने ईरान के एयरस्पेस से विमानों के न गुजरने पर कहा, 'एयर इंडिया की उड़ानों पर इसका कोई खास प्रभाव नहीं है। हालांकि आने वाले विमानों का रूट फिर से तय करने पर काम किया जा रहा है।'

The Central Asian nodes in BRI
Ahead of the recently concluded summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), Chinese state media provided extensive coverage of Beijing’s recent forays into Central Asia, including into Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. On its website, the state-run Xinhua news agency splashed pictures of the Irkeshtam pass, one of China’s gateways to Kyrgyzstan, a few days before planes ferrying leaders of the eight SCO member countries, apart from observers, flew into Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s capital.

UN report on sustainable development
Hunger is growing and the world is not on track to end extreme poverty by 2030 and meet other U.N. goals, mainly because progress is being undermined by the impact of climate change and increasing inequality, a U.N. report said. The report on progress toward achieving the 17 U.N. goals notes achievements in some areas, including a 49% fall in child mortality between 2000 and 2017 as well as electricity now reaching nearly 90% of the world’s population.

India, ASEAN agree to deepen strategic ties
GS Paper - 2 (International Relations)
India and 10-nation ASEAN agreed to deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership with concrete actions through practical implementation of the 'Plan of Action' to implement the ASEAN-India partnership for peace, progress and shared prosperity.
More about agreement
In a joint statement on maritime cooperation, it was agreed to support India's connectivity initiatives in the region to ensure seamless connectivity in the Indo-Pacific, besides boosting cooperation in a range of areas including blue economy, space and food security among others.
The two sides agreed to deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership with concrete actions through practical implementation of the 'Plan of Action' to implement the ASEAN-India partnership for peace, progress and shared prosperity.
They reaffirmed the importance of maintaining and promoting peace, stability, maritime safety and security, freedom of navigation and overflight in the region, and other lawful uses of the seas and unimpeded lawful maritime commerce and to promote peaceful resolutions of disputes, in accordance with universally recognised principles of international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The two sides agreed to further strengthen ASEAN-India cooperation on maritime safety and security, promote cooperation in a Blue Economy and develop new and renewable energy including marine-based renewable energy, among others.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is considered one of the most influential groupings in the region, and India and several other countries including the US, China, Japan and Australia are its dialogue partners.
ASEAN-India dialogue relations started with the establishment of a sectoral partnership in 1992.
This graduated to a full dialogue partnership in December 1995 and a summit-level partnership in 2002. The ties were elevated to a strategic partnership in 2012.
What is ASEAN?
On 8 August 1967, five leaders – the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand – came together in Bangkok.
Thailand was brokering some disputes among Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and it eventually led to the signing of a document.
The five Foreign Ministers who signed it – Adam Malik of Indonesia, Narciso R. Ramos of the Philippines, Tun Abdul Razak of Malaysia, S. Rajaratnam of Singapore, and Thanat Khoman of Thailand – would subsequently be hailed as the Founding Fathers of probably the most successful inter-governmental organisation in the developing world today. And the document that they signed would be known as the ASEAN Declaration.
The ASEAN Declaration signed by the five leaders conveyed the aspiration to further regional cooperation. These were about cooperation in the economic, social, cultural, technical, educational and other fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter.
Its major pillars that help lay out a blueprint for cooperation are Political-Security Community (APSC), Economic Community (AEC) and Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC).
