चाबहार पोर्ट से जुड़ी परियोजनाओं को लेकर संशय
दुनियाभर में मौजूद हथियारों के जखीरे में भले ही कमी देखी जा रही हो पर बीते 12 महीनों में परमाणु युद्ध का खतरा काफी बढ़ गया है। कुछ हद तक इसके लिए अमेरिका और ईरान के बीच बढ़ते तनाव को भी जिम्मेदार ठहराया जा सकता है। दरअसल, एक नई रिसर्च में दावा किया गया है कि संख्या में भले ही दुनिया के परमाणु हथियारों में कमी आई हो लेकिन तबाही लाने वाले परमाणु युद्ध का खतरा कम होने की बजाय बढ़ गया है।

UK signs ‘biggest trade deal’ since Brexit
GS Paper - 2 (International Relations)
The United Kingdom formally signed a treaty to join a major Indo-Pacific bloc — what it said was the biggest trade deal since the country left the European Union at the beginning of 2020. Business Minister Kemi Badenoch put her signature on the accession protocol for the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in Auckland, New Zealand. This is a modern and ambitious agreement and our membership in this exciting, brilliant and forward-looking bloc is proof that the UK’s doors are open for business.
What is CPTPP?
The CPTPP is a landmark pact agreed upon in 2018 that cuts trade barriers among 11 countries, including Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
The pact requires countries to eliminate or significantly reduce tariffs and make strong commitments to opening services and investment markets.
It also has rules addressing competition, intellectual property rights and protections for foreign companies. CPTPP is seen as a bulwark against China’s dominance in the region, although Beijing has applied to join, along with Taiwan, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Uruguay and Ecuador.
Politicians in several countries, including the UK and Australia, are lobbying to keep China out, while Beijing is trying to prevent Taiwan from joining.
Why is the CPTTP so important to the UK?
The UK government says CPTTP will cut tariffs for UK exports to Asia Pacific countries and with UK membership, the trading bloc will have a combined GDP of 12 trillion pounds and account for 15% of global trade. Britain is keen to deepen trade ties in the Pacific after Brexit in 2020.
London has been pushing a “Global Britain” strategy since it gave up EU membership after nearly 50 years, leaving the bloc’s single market and customs union.
Instead, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson negotiated a trade deal called the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
The UK’s long-term productivity is forecast to be reduced by 4% as a result of Brexit. The UK already has trade deals with 10 of the 11 other CPTPP members and the eventual economic boost is likely to increase GDP by just 0.08% annually.
