Peter Grk (@MZZRS): #RussiaUkraine war has introduced tectonic shifts which will be difficult to alter. This shift will affect how #Europe is looked at globally. Will #Europe play a growing role in the international community & #IndoPacific in the next decade?
.@AHuitfeldt: An attack on a country’s territorial integrity is an attack on #democracy and #international rules-based order. #Europe will be more united to defend democracy.
.@HonTonyAbbott: #Ukraine needs to win because of the growing Moscow-Beijing ties. If #Russia manages to pulverise Ukraine, #Beijing, which is closely watching this crisis, will feel emboldened.
.@AnzeLog: One should not have double standards when they're part of the #multilateral fora. While there were doubts about the #EU acting decisively, it did adopt a common and united position.
Peter Grk (@MZZRS): #EU does not have a good track record of dealing with a lot of crises at the same time, but now, the #EU is capable of translating words into deeds.
.@GERonAsia: The #EU, as a global actor, needs to show that defending the rules-based order is not just a regional concern and a concern of the #US and #China, but also of the EU, as showcased by #Germany when it released its #IndoPacific strategy.
.@GERonAsia: A security element has been added to the #EU’s strategy towards the #IndoPacific. The EU needs to be present in the region & #supplychain resilience has been focused on, by offering trade agreements to diversify our economic partnerships.
Peter Grk (@MZZRS): The dilemma of trade & security is based on #Europe’s relationship with #China, on one hand, to uphold the rules-based order and on the other, working with China in areas which are important and profitable to Europe.
.@GERonAsia: Avoid dependencies to preserve the sovereignty of action. This can be done by making new economic partners, to use the potential of the Indian market in a much bigger way.
.@HonTonyAbbott: Purely in economic terms, #China’s rise has helped many countries, but at the same time, it has exploited the rules and has been a disproportionate beneficiary of the #liberal trading order.
.@HonTonyAbbott: India is providing a good alternative, with its sophisticated manufacturing base, to reduce #Australia’s reliance on #China, and thereby, ensure #supplychain resilience.
.@GeoffreyOnyeama: The #IndiaAfrica Forum Summit (#IAFS) process is aimed at developing a precise roadmap that responds to the priorities of #African countries. #India can share its technological know-how which will boost our substantial partnership.
.@LynnKuok: The #US has put working towards a common cause with its closest allies at the centre of advancing its national interest. The strength of the US as well as its partners matter.
.@carlbildt: If you look at the handling of the #Russia crisis, we are flying together. We are closer than in the past, covering all aspects of #security. There is a significant strengthening of #NATO and #transatlantic aspects of security.
.@RVlahutin: We have gone through multiple crises in the last few years—but they have served as great catalysers. We have seen how the #EU is shaping its response to these crises, and the EU is now at a moment of reckoning. #Raisina2022
.@RVlahutin: Infrastructure is a strategic tool & we have to treat it like that. Connectivity is not just primarily about things like railways, but it is also about the system of values underpinned by transparency, stability & the ability to make sovereign choices
With #Raisina2022 in full swing, @orfonline is delighted to announce the #RaisinaEdit— a selection of commentaries that unpack, interpret, & problematise contemporary global developments.
A key reason for the growth of the passion #economy is that it offers alternative ways of making money, innovative paths toward professional fulfilment & unprecedented career opportunities, writes @utkarsh_amitabhor-f.org/103498
Kwati Candith Mashego-Dlamini: In #SouthAfrica, we have space for #women & struggle side by side with men. #Women need to be seen as individuals. Empowerment of women is not a side agenda, but we need to focus on how we can help them have their own space & strength. #Raisina2022
.@ctgchatter: We require political will, affirmative action, and policy changes to empower #women. I believe, empowered women, empower women.
