Hope local admin would support presence of Indian journalists in China: MEA

India on Thursday hoped that Chinese authorities would facilitate continued presence of Indian journalists in China. The comments by External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi in Delhi came days after China decided to "freeze" visas of two Indian journalists. "There are Chinese journalists who have valid Indian visas to undertake journalistic activities," Bagchi said responding to a question on the issue. From that perspective, we don't see any difficulties in doing reporting (by the Chinese journalists), he said. "As regards to Indian journalists working in China, we would hope that Chinese authorities would facilitate their continued presence and reporting from China," Bagchi said. "We are in touch with Chinese authorities in this regard," he said.

Indian dye company Kiri Industries has expressed full confidence in the Singapore International Commercial Court's (SICC) decision and hopes its China-linked partner would honour the "final outcome" of an 8-year old dispute. Kiri, a minority shareholder in Dystar, initiated a legal battle in 2015 against Senda, a subsidiary of China's largest dye firm Longsheng and Dystar's majority shareholder, accusing it of minority oppression through various actions in Singapore High Court. In 2017, the suit was transferred to the SICC due to its international elements and in 2018, the court issued its judgement for the case, stating they accepted most of the instances of commercial unfairness raised by Kiri. "We are delighted with how our suits have progressed through Singapore's courts to achieve a just outcome," said Manish Kiri, Chairman & Managing Director, Kiri Industries Limited.

India Inc must step up: EAM S Jaishankar on China trade imbalance

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said the responsibility for the trade imbalance with China rests squarely on businesses as well, blaming Indian corporates for not developing the right sourcing arrangements. Speaking at the Asia Economic Dialogue here, Jaishankar said the government is doing its bit by bringing in policies like the thrust on Atmanirbhar Bharat and made it clear that the "massive external exposure" puts national security at threat. Terming the challenge posed by the trade imbalance with China as very serious and formidable, the career bureaucrat turned politician said the responsibility here is not just of the government, but it is an equal responsibility of businesses as well. "Indian corporates have not developed the kind of backwards (integration), vendor supplies, components and parts, ingredients and intermediates that should be supporting us," he said.
