QUAD to push back on Indo-Pacific, PM Modi and PM Kishida bond over tempura
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was hosted by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for a quiet “tempura” meal – a Japanese dish usually consisting of seafood and vegetables deep-fried in batter – before departing for India after attending the QUAD summit in Tokyo. Both countries decided to strengthen economic cooperation.
According to reports from Tokyo, PM Modi was pleased with his QUAD and bilateral meetings in Tokyo, with Japan enthusiastic about economic opportunities in India and a shared agenda under the QUAD umbrella. PM Modi, who has been a long-time admirer of Japanese culture, discipline, and development since his days as Gujarat’s chief minister, met three former Japanese prime ministers in addition to the current one and interacted with 40 CEOs of major Japanese corporations during his brisk visit. Both countries are interested in each other, as evidenced by bilateral meetings with PM Kishida, with the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and Maritime Domain Awareness being the new dimensions for deepening engagement under QUAD.
“The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework is essentially a free trade agreement under a different name because the US is unable to sign the latter due to congressional opposition. “India will benefit because it is a founding member and has uniquely distanced itself from any multilateral trade engagement with China as a member,” according to a former foreign secretary.
While QUAD has advocated for a free and open Indo-Pacific, it has also developed a maritime domain awareness platform to monitor and alert on illegal, unregulated, and unprotected fishing by “dark” vessels in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The maritime surveillance initiative will be based in QUAD and ASEAN countries to ensure that Chinese trawlers fishing in the region are not only monitored but also prevented by alerting the relevant countries. The initiative is a rebuke to Beijing’s muscle-flexing in the Indo-Pacific, which accounts for 80 to 95 percent of illegal fishing in the region after overfishing in its own waters.
While the maritime initiative has an illegal fishing component, it also has a security component, as all vessels in the Indo-Pacific will be monitored to ensure that member nations in the South and East China Seas do not violate UN Laws of Seas. “The Chinese trawlers are practically rapping the Indo-Pacific by illegal fishing and hitting the economies of small island nations in the region by unregulated fishing,” according to a former Indian Navy Admiral.
Despite the fact that China and Russia both exercised nuclear bombers in the Sea of Japan on the day the QUAD leaders met in Tokyo, the democratic leaders were unfazed by the drama and have decided to band together to protect the Indo-Pacific.
According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.
This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.
Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”
The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.
“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”
Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.
“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.
Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.
“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.
Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
