Zelensky Urges Direct Peace Talks With Putin

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has renewed his call for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, proposing a face-to-face meeting as part of efforts to bring an end to the ongoing war between the two countries. In a public letter addressed to Putin, Zelensky argued that waiting for the conflict to regain the full attention of the United States would be a mistake. He stressed that lasting peace could only be achieved through direct negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow. The Ukrainian leader also urged Russia to agree to a complete ceasefire throughout any future peace discussions, although Putin had earlier rejected the idea of a full halt in fighting during negotiations. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump voiced support for a potential meeting between the two leaders, saying such talks would be beneficial and could help move peace efforts forward. The […]

Trump Says Would Like to Meet Iran Leader Khamenei

US President Donald Trump has expressed willingness to meet with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran show little progress. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview that Trump is open to meeting anybody, including Iran's supreme leader. "I'm pretty confident in saying that if the Ayatollah said tomorrow he wanted to meet with President Trump, the president would meet him," Rubio told Bloomberg. Rubio emphasized that Trump's willingness to meet is not based on personal agreement with Khamenei, but on the belief that direct dialogue is the way to solve international problems. "Nation states need to interact with one another - I serve under a president that's willing to meet with anybody," the Secretary of State said. The conflict between the US and Iran began more […]

Zelenskyy Expands Gulf Defence Partnerships

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a notable visit to Saudi Arabia in March, arriving in a black outfit and walking across a lilac carpet in what observers described as a carefully staged diplomatic moment. He said the trip was aimed at “strengthening the protection of lives,” highlighting Ukraine’s effort to expand international security partnerships amid its ongoing war with Russia. Zelenskyy’s visit formed part of a broader push by Kyiv to position itself as a global hub for battlefield-tested drone warfare expertise. Ukraine has increasingly showcased its military experience to Gulf states, particularly in countering drone and missile threats, in an effort to build strategic and defence-related partnerships. According to Ukrainian officials, agreements have now been reached with Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar to share drone technology and operational know-how. These countries have themselves faced missile and drone […]

Taiwan Leader Visits Eswatini Amid China Tensions

Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te has arrived in Eswatini, just days after his administration said a planned visit had been disrupted by alleged Chinese pressure on African nations to deny him overflight access. Speaking about the trip, Lai said it was made possible through “careful arrangements” by Taiwan’s diplomatic and national security teams, without revealing specific travel details. China criticized the visit, describing it as a “stowaway-style escape farce.” Beijing maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory and rejects any form of official diplomatic engagement between Taiwan and other states. On arrival, Lai was received by Russell Dlamini and welcomed with a formal guard of honour. Taiwan’s delegation includes Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and National Security Council adviser Alex Huang, according to the presidential office. The visit was not publicly announced in advance. It had initially been scheduled for April […]

Taiwan cancels Africa trip over China pressure

Taiwan’s leader, Lai Ching-te, has called off a planned visit to Eswatini after several countries denied his aircraft permission to fly through their airspace. Taipei says the decision followed strong pressure and economic influence from Beijing, an accusation China rejects. According to Taiwanese officials, Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar withdrew overflight approvals after what they described as “intense pressure” from China. Beijing denied any coercion, while commending the three countries for adhering to the “one China” policy. This marks the first known case of a Taiwanese president cancelling an overseas trip due to revoked flight permissions. Eswatini remains Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in Africa and one of just a dozen countries worldwide that officially recognise Taipei. China considers Taiwan part of its territory under the “one China” principle, while many in Taiwan view the island as a sovereign state. Beijing has […]

French outrage over Trump’s Macron wife remark

There is growing anger in France after President Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron by saying Macron is treated extremely badly by his wife, Brigitte. The comment was made during a private lunch and was captured in a short video that briefly appeared on official channels before being deleted. In the clip, Trump is heard saying that he called up France, Macron whose wife treats him extremely badly, adding that Macron is still recovering from the right to the jaw, a reference to a past video where Brigitte appeared to push Macron’s face on a plane. Trump copied a French accent while making the joke, which many in France saw as disrespectful and mocking. French politicians from both the ruling camp and the opposition have condemned the remarks as inappropriate and insulting to the French president and his wife. […]

North Korea says shameless US is making a mockery of UN

North Korea has accused the United States of abusing the United Nations and trying to turn it into a tool for its own interests. Pyongyang called US actions “shameless” and said Washington was making a mockery of the UN through its behaviour.​ In a statement from its mission to the UN in New York, North Korea condemned reported US plans to hold a briefing on alleged North Korean violations of UN sanctions. It said the real issue the UN should focus on is what it described as a “hideous criminal act” by the United States, without giving details.​ Pyongyang said the US “despises the existence of the UN itself” and uses the organisation only when it serves its strategic goals. It warned that Washington’s “irrationality and malpractice” in using the UN arena for unilateral and selfish purposes should not be […]

EU, Africa Leaders to Talk Trade and Minerals as Ukraine Looms Large

Dozens of EU and African leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, and Kenya’s William Ruto, assemble in Angola for a summit focused on trade, migration, and securing Africa’s critical raw materials. The summit, marking 25 years of EU–African Union relations, is set against tense US–EU diplomatic rifts over Washington’s Ukraine peace plan, widely criticized as favoring Moscow. Efforts to revamp EU-Africa ties reflect new competition from China, Russia, Gulf states, and Turkey, with Africa no longer relying solely on Europe as a partner. The EU remains the continent’s largest investor and commercial counterpart, but resentment over colonial history and China’s growing presence threaten its influence. Key priorities include: Boosting intra-African trade and economic development, with EU support for major infrastructure projects like Angola’s Lobito railway corridor. Tackling migration and security cooperation. Ensuring Africa’s voice in global governance. Securing […]
