EU Appoints Military Attache In Mission In India
- The European Union (EU) has posted a military attache in its mission in India, in reflection of growing defence and strategic cooperation between the two sides, people familiar with the matter said. It is for the first time that the EU appointed a military attache to India.
- The overall strategic ties between India and the 27-nation EU have been on an upward trajectory in the last few years.
- India is among a select group of countries where the EU has appointed military attaches.
- The EU has been focusing on expanding military cooperation with India and many other countries in the Indo-Pacific.

India-Nepal Border Forces’ Talks Begin In Delhi
- Border guarding forces of India and Nepal began their three-day bilateral meeting in Delhi on Monday and discussed measures to curb trans-frontier crimes and for timely sharing of intelligence inputs, an official said.
- Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) director general Rashmi Shukla is leading the Indian delegation at the seventh edition of the annual coordination talks and the visiting nine-member Armed Police Force (APF) team of Nepal is headed by its inspector general Raju Aryal.
- The focus of the meeting will be on the development of effective mechanisms to collaboratively combat trans-border crimes and facilitate the prompt exchange of critical information between the forces, the statement said.

Disturbances In The Force – Recent Developments In China’s Military
- Fissures have appeared in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in recent months, with high-profile commanders, even the defence minister, removed due to corruption allegations.
- Additionally, there was even speculation of a submarine loss to add more spice. Regardless, the PLA continues to test its mettle as China becomes even more aggressive in the South China Sea and more vocal about its violent designs in Taiwan.
- While China denied the loss of a submarine, it has been very vocal in intimidating Taiwan. For example, at the 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, Lieutenant General He Lei, former vice president of the PLA Academy of Military Sciences, said on October 29: “Once the Chinese government is forced to use force to resolve the Taiwan question, it will be a war for reunification, a just and legitimate war supported and participated in by the Chinese people, and a war to crush foreign interference.”
- China has officially sacked its defence minister Li Shangfu, two months after he disappeared from public life. No explanation has been given for his removal, nor has a replacement been announced for his job. His sacking follows recent axing’s of several top military officials, including Qin Gang – who was removed as foreign minister in July.
- A top Chinese military official has said China will show no mercy towards Taiwan’s independence. This comes despite turmoil in the top ranks of the country’s armed forces, Voice of America (VOA) reported.
