AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

US-China Diplomacy: Trump’s Beijing trip is picking up last-minute star power—Nvidia’s Jensen Huang has joined the CEO delegation after being called in late—while the Iran crisis hangs over talks as Trump says he doesn’t need China to end the war and Tehran tightens control around the Strait of Hormuz. Energy Pressure in South Asia: India is raising gold and silver import tariffs to 15% after Modi urged a pause on gold buying, as West Asia-linked fuel stress keeps squeezing households and budgets; officials also insist supply is fine with 60 days of crude, 60 days of LNG and 45 days of LPG, even as oil-company losses mount. Border and Security Posture: Bangladesh says Delhi hasn’t formally moved on border fencing and will handle any proposal diplomatically, as India’s eastward strategic focus and maritime concerns keep resurfacing. Japan’s Security Shift: Japan confirmed it is reviewing declassified Pentagon UAP footage near Japanese airspace, while Japan’s military posture continues to draw regional attention. Public Health Tech: India launched the Swasth Bharat Portal to unify health-program reporting and upgraded JANANI with QR cards, alerts and dashboards to track maternal and child care.
