Russian President Vladimir Putin’s black Labrador Koni entered the room, causing visible discomfort to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a notable 2007 diplomatic meeting, who has a known fear of dogs.

The incident became a symbol of their complex relationship, sparking debates on diplomatic dynamics.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a landmark 5-nation tour from July 2 to 9, visiting Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia. The trip focuses on strengthening India’s ties across the Global South, deepening cooperation in areas like trade, energy, tech, and diaspora relations. Modi will attend the BRICS Summit in Rio, where the absence of Putin and Xi may elevate India’s role. He’ll also address the Parliaments of Ghana and Namibia, marking a major diplomatic push to reinforce India’s leadership in multilateral platforms like BRICS, AU, and CARICOM.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has issued a stark warning following Germany's new border policies restricting asylum seekers. Speaking at the Southwestern Press Forum, Merkel criticized the national crackdown led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet, warning it risks destroying the EU’s unity and the Schengen zone. Calling for “European solutions,” she reaffirmed her support for EU-level migration policy. The move marks a sharp break from her 2015 open-door stance and comes amid rising right-wing momentum, legal battles, and mounting pressure on German border forces.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.
