IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Alexey Maslov
    Alexey Maslov “We value the stability of Russia-China relations. The one word I can use to describe our relationship is 'trust.' That's very important because if you look at the cooperation with the Western countries, we don't have, and we have never had, mutual trust. But with China, we have a mutual trust. Our cooperation during the last two years developed very fast. The two countries could deepen cooperation in finance and banking, as well as in sci-tech and investment.” 7 hours ago
  • Cui Heng
    Cui Heng “The world will pay attention to the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries to see how China-Russia relations can be promoted to a new height, as strategic ties between the two major powers will greatly affect the international arena.” 7 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “We see an unveiled intervention in the internal affairs of Georgia from the outside. This is an internal matter of Georgia. We do not want to interfere there in any way.” 7 hours ago
  • Charles Michel
    Charles Michel “If they want to join the EU, they have to respect the fundamental principles of the rule of law and the democratic principles.” 7 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Under our own ten-year agreement, the United States will support the defence and security across a range of essential capabilities - from its air force to its air defence, from drones to demining. If Russia or anyone else were to attack Ukraine, we will work with Ukraine immediately at the highest levels to coordinate how to help you beat back the threat.” 11 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “This is an unexpected, but, unfortunately for Ukraine, a very effective move. Unlike many top Russian officials, Belousov has not been involved in corruption scandals and has a reputation as a workaholic technocrat and a devout Orthodox Christian. Putin wants him to clean the Augean stables of the defence ministry so that military spending spearheads the resurgence of Russia's economy. The effectiveness of Russia's military-industrial complex will be boosted, and instead of being a 'black hole' of budget spendings, the defence ministry may become a driver of economic growth, when war spendings stimulate the growth of Russia's GDP.” 15 hours ago

“The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.”

“A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.”

“They [B.J.P. leaders] thought they were going to ride the tiger, easily tame it and get down. But you can't easily tame a tiger. If you ride the tiger, you have to decide that at some point the tiger is going to eat. Modi [Narendra Modi] decided to allow the tiger to eat sometimes and lead the tiger when he wants to.”

“Mr. Modi's [Narendra Modi] retreat could give India's democracy a shot in the arm. It shows that even if the government repeals these laws for electoral reasons, elections still work as a formal mechanism to keep governments in check. It also shows that more substantive aspects of democratic participation like civil protests can be successful. It's good news for India's battered democracy.”

“This election verdict is as much an endorsement of Mamata Banerjee as it is a critique or a verdict against Mr Modi and his government's handling of the COVID crisis. The people in India are suffering. There's lots of pain misery and despair. And this was the first time they had an opportunity to give expression to that anger, to give expression to that pain, and they appear to have done it in a resounding manner in West Bengal.”

“Today several Caribbean countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, received 175,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from India. Of the 175,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, 40,000 were donated to the people of Antigua and Barbuda. For this, we are extremely grateful. PM Narendra Modi has demonstrated perhaps the most significant act of benevolence, kindness and empathy that was seen in recent times compared to any act of any other leader globally.”

“Nationalism is strong under Modi and Xi Jinping, this is a ground reality. This is to be expected because both nations are modern states that have only been around for 70 years or so. We have to revisit this after a month and see if demobilisation has happened. Some reports say that both sides agreed to withdraw three kilometres, but because the Line of Actual Control is in itself a contentious issue, three kilometres from where exactly?”

“Beijing should certainly worry that the impact of the deadly clash could push India toward the U.S.. But these recent economic measures by India may not by themselves concern Beijing too much as it understands that Modi's government, facing rising domestic nationalism, has to do something to soothe the public sentiments and retain legitimacy.”
