KIELCE — Poland and Canada have signed a defense cooperation agreement aimed at enhancing bilateral ties, with a focus on joint exercises, military training and stronger relations between their local defense industries. Poland’s Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and his Canadian counterpart David J. McGuinty signed the Memorandum of Understanding here on Monday, before the opening of the MSPO trade show organized from Sept. 8-11 — Poland’s largest arms exhibition. “Canada’s presence as an exhibitor, a country showcasing its capabilities, skills, and companies, but also a country that wants to purchase Polish military equipment, demonstrates how our position on…

All eyes are on India right now. From September 12 to 13, presidents and prime ministers from Brazil, China, South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, Russia, and more will converge on New Delhi for the 18th BRICS summit. It’s India’s fourth time hosting BRICS, but leading the group today is a diplomatic minefield. Barely two months after Delhi took over as chair, the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, a BRICS member. Tehran then retaliated against the UAE and Saudi Arabia – also BRICS members. Now, India has to sit all three in the same room. The U.S.-Iran war made it impossible to…

Over the past 25 years, Cambodia successfully cut its poverty rate from over 50 percent to under 20 percent. However, the model driving this success now faces severe headwinds. Due to ongoing global price shocks and a sharp, year-long slump in remittances prompted by the Cambodian-Thai border dispute, more than a million people risk falling back below the subsistence level, according to the World Bank. This vulnerability underscores the fragility of Cambodia’s growth model. Without structurally transforming the domestic economy, hard-won social progress remains in jeopardy. In its June 2026 Cambodia Economic Update, the World Bank painted its usual optimistic…

India has become one of the largest global sources of cross-border cyber scams. Its significance extends well beyond the economic losses involved. Research from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur estimates that Indian call-center fraud causes approximately $10 billion in annual losses worldwide, with victims concentrated in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. Cryptocurrency “pig-butchering” schemes inside India alone exceeded $3.6 billion in losses in 2024, and losses directly traced to India from U.S. victims between 2023 and 2025 reached $42 million – only the traceable fraction. Geographically, the Indian scam landscape shows a dual-track structure. A decentralized…

Cambodia’s army has confirmed that it will resume joint military exercises with the United States early next year after a decade-long suspension, the latest sign of the improving ties between the two nations. The Royal Cambodian Army announced on Facebook on Friday that officials from the two nations had concluded an Initial Planning Conference for Exercise Angkor Sentinel 2027, which it said would be held in February of next year. The exercise has the aim of “strengthening interoperability and disaster-response capabilities, reflecting renewed momentum in Cambodia–U.S. military cooperation and a shared commitment to strengthening defense cooperation.” The announcement follows several…

Letters threatening Kashmiri Pandits that surfaced on social media in August have set off a wave of panic among members of the community living in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). They have revived memories of the “hit lists” and assassinations that forced around 350,000 Pandits to flee the Kashmir valley over 36 years ago. Three letters, all issued in the name of the United Liberation Council (ULC), said to be a front organization of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, have surfaced on social media so far. The most recent letter, dated August 27, was explicitly linked to the Indian government reopening investigations into…

Indonesia reopened five airports early this morning, after a volcanic eruption over the weekend forced them to suspend operations for two days. Anak Krakatau, which is located on a small island in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra, began erupting late on Friday and remained active for around 25 hours. The eruption threw up black plumes of volcanic ash that were carried by the wind over the skies of the capital, Jakarta, which lies around 150 kilometers to the east, and across Lampung province in the southern part of Sumatra. This forced the closure of eight…

JERUSALEM — Israel’s Rafael today announced it has entered into a partnership with the German state of Lower Saxony and investment fund Aurelius Capital, which is “aimed at developing the Volkswagen site in Osnabrück into a center of excellence for innovative security and defense solutions.” The deal cements expectations that had been circulating since May that envisioned Rafael playing a role at a Volkswagen plant in Germany, with the site potentially tapped to build parts for the Iron Dome system. However, that deal has appeared rocky at times, with reports saying a direct Rafael-VW team up may not be possible.  The solution…
