Your Weekly Diplomatic Briefing - 30th May-5th June
The world changes within seconds; And it's been a week!
Hello reader!!
This week, we are in Vienna for the International Digital Security Forum 2025, while the world's most-urgent peace talks are hardly making a head-way. This, and South Korea making a democratic comeback, plus the usual dose of diplomatic news from around the world and Pakistan.
Here’s your weekly roundup of the week’s most important stories, news, and articles from The Diplomatic Insight.
Top Stories of the Week
[1] US Envoy Flags Dangerous Phase After Ukraine’s Deep Strikes on Russia
Largest & biggest attack by Ukraine since the war started in February, 2022 has left many wondering where do we go from here?
One day after the attack, Russia & Ukraine sat down in Istanbul but with no outcome other than exchange of PoWs.
[2] Japan Develops Plastic That Dissolves in Seawater Quickly
Now this is big! Plastics are haunting our planet as much as rapidly-advancing climate change catastrophes.
Though these brilliant researchers say they haven't thought about commercializing yet but this new plastic is certainly an innovation to celebrate.
[3] US Imposes New Travel Ban on 12 Countries
New Executive Order!
The Colorado attack happened and now people from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen cannot enter the US.
[4] India Left Out of G7 Summit in Canada
India's charms are not working anymore!
Canada did not invite Modi at the G7 Summit. Just two years ago, when India hosted the Summit in Delhi, the fanfare made us believe India was doing diplomacy right.
But not anymore.
[5] Abandoning Uranium Enrichment Is Against Iran's National Interest: Khamenei
No headway!
Iran-US nuclear talks do not seem to be going anywhere as the central US demand is a non-starter for Iran.
But interestingly, there is hardly any budge from either side when it comes to abandoning the talks.
