Last month, the Pentagon announced an $11.1 billion arms sale to Taiwan, the largest U.S. weapons package ever proposed for the island democracy.

President Ishmael Toroama says his government has rejected a proposal which would have diluted his government’s stake in its copper mining company.

Thailand’s military uncovered the deceptive office and the Australian Federal Police is now engaging with Thai authorities.

The court ruling is a setback for Beijing’s regional strategy.

The man has been identified as 27-year-old Michael Hurst from Melbourne. Japanese authorities are investigating the cause of his death.

While allowing other countries in, strict legal and financial conditions are designed to keep Washington firmly in control.

President Lai Ching-te says his administration will continue to deepen Taiwan–U.S. economic and trade relations and diversify the island’s technology presence.

The deal will result in India charging a zero percent levy on American goods entering the country, according to the president.

A claim before the Waitangi Tribunal covering the country’s petroleum, natural gas and minerals could impede a deal with the US.

Xi’s purge has created a vacuum in the PLA’s top leadership and significantly weakened its capabilities and his own control of the military, analysts said.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said he doubted President Donald Trump would slap tariffs on Britain for making trade deals with China.

The meeting follows a two-day summit earlier this month between Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.

While seeing a role for the Board in Gaza, New Zealand says there’s not enough clarity around how it would operate in relation to the United Nations.

‘We’re engaging with other authorities internationally, including the World Health Organisation (WHO),’ said Health Minister Mark Butler.

‘The relationship is in a good place, a strong place,’ British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said after an 80-minute meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The agreement is another step towards developing a defence treaty with the Southeast Asian nation, which gained independence from Indonesia in 2022.
