It is no secret that CPEC has failed to achieve its set goals on time. But is China to blame – or Pakistan itself?

In his annual State of the Nation speech, Tokayev gave new insights into how he envisions the development of Kazakhstan as a digital state.

Kazakhstan should be, and has been, commended for strengthening legal protections for women and holding perpetrators accountable, but more must be done.

The Assam government’s decisions on land transfers are likely to reignite tensions in a state with a history of violence against alleged outsiders.

An ambitious policy framework has translated into limited change in Kazakhstan. Why?     

A few sunlit ridges beside ice-rich craters could become lunar chokepoints, unless Asia writes simple, shared rules now.

India’s navy is the only one that operates persistently between Qatar, the forward HQ of the US CENTCOM, and the Malacca Strait, which leads into the South China Sea.

While ACD removes structural barriers to cooperation, at the same time it is supposed to gradually reduce Japan’s overreliance on U.S. cyberdefense systems. 

Even though China’s role in South Asia has grown in the last decade, Beijing has little by way of policy or strategy when it comes to dealing with political instability in the region. 

This is Pakistan’s most significant formal defense pact in decades, and the first such agreement that an Arab Gulf state has inked with a nuclear-armed partner.

Leaked documents from Geedge Networks and GoLaxy show how repression in China is both a political imperative and a profitable business.

That Indonesia’s costly high-speed rail is operating at a loss right out of the gate has raised some eyebrows.

Kim Jong Un showed his tit-for-tat move against the latest South Korea-U.S. military drills.

China’s limited success in managing the political risks of the BRI has resulted in reputational costs and played a role in China’s curtailed flow of BRI lending in recent years.

Far from consolidating, recognition by the international community could expose the group’s rifts over resources, external demands, and identity.

The importance of the EU’s trade defence arsenal is underscored, among other factors, by persistent global overcapacity in a range of sectors, which has significant distorting effects on international markets, and by the weaponisation of trade, including through economic coercion amid growing geopolitical tensions.

The arsenal can be divided into two categories. First, the EU’s traditional trade defensive instruments (TDIs), which are based on multilateral trade agreements going back to Codes developed under the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; and second, the EU’s more recent autonomous trade instruments, most of which were enacted between 2019 and 2024.

TDIs enable the EU to deter and combat unfair trade practices from companies and public authorities of third countries, shield EU industries and jobs from these practices, and restore a level playing field for EU companies in the internal market. TDIs are mainly applied in the form of additional duties on imports of dumped and/or subsidised goods, or on goods whose imports have surged suddenly and unexpectedly and have caused serious injury to EU industry – or threaten to do so.

The EU’s autonomous trade instruments seek to fill regulatory gaps in international trade law in areas such as public procurement and foreign subsidies, with a view to levelling the playing field between EU companies and non-EU companies and to safeguarding the EU’s economic interests, including its economic security.

Against the backdrop of the United States’ recent unilateral tariff policies, which are likely to lead to a diversion of trade flows to other markets, including the EU, and to a further increase in the global use of trade defence measures, the relevance of the EU’s trade defence toolbox is set to grow in the future.

Council amends existing regulations to address current and emerging challenges in the context of the mid-term review of EU cohesion policy.

In light of Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine and following the repeated violation of the airspace of our Member States by Russian drones, ZAPAD-2025 does not demonstrate a commitment to de-escalation and peace. The participation of other countries, especially from Belarus, in this context raises serious security concerns. The EU calls for full compliance with international agreements and remains vigilant regarding potential security threats.
