- It notes “with particular interest the initiatives taken in this regard in different regions of the world, in particular the consultations among a number of Latin American countries and the proposals for conventional arms control made in the context of South Asia, and recognising, in the context of this subject, the relevance and value of conventional arms control in regional security.”
- The resolution, “believing that militarily significant states and states with larger military capabilities have a special responsibility in promoting such agreements for regional security,” decided to give “urgent consideration to the issues involved in conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels.”
Defence Forces Seek Green Nod For Ammo Storage in Ladakh
- The defence ministry has sought a green nod to build additional ammunition storage capacity in Ladakh for enhancing ammunition availability during operational deployment of military units.
- Meanwhile, India will not scale down its troop deployment in eastern Ladakh this winter despite the recent Demchok and Depsang patrolling agreement, said South Block officials aware of the matter.

Why Nuclear Weapons Will Be On Trump’s Agenda
- When he takes office in January, President-elect Donald Trump will inherit a raft of national security challenges, including major wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
- Trump will have to manage the gravest tensions with Moscow in more than 60 years, in part fueled by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons in his war against Ukraine and his development of exotic new weapons systems.
- Overseer of the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal, Putin has been modernizing his nuclear forces and has rejected talks with Washington on replacing New START, the last U.S.-Russia arms limitation pact, when it expires on Feb. 5 2026.
- Trump will have to craft a policy on deterring nuclear threats from Russia and China even as he confronts the expiration of New START.
