Pakistan Intends To Trade With India, Says Pak Foreign Minister Bilawal Zardari

Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Pakistan's Foreign Minister, emphasised that Pakistan intends to engage in trade with India. He blamed the former policies and government for driving the country to being "internationally isolated and internationally disengaged".

India Eyes Deeper Discount On Russian Oil

India is eyeing a deeper discount on Russian oil. The country is reportedly seeking Russian cargoes at less than 70 US dollars per barrel. This could make up for additional obstacles, like securing financing for purchases. India imports around 85% of its oil. India is among the few nations that still purchases crude oil from Russia, which is a significant source of revenue for the Russian regime.
