    According‍ to the English ‍section of ​ webangah News Agency, citing Al-Mayadeen via mehr ⁤News Agency, Hezbollah issued a⁤ statement responding to the Lebanese government’s ​decision targeting the resistance’s weapons.

    The⁤ statement continued:⁣ “As reflected in its justification before ⁤the Council of ​Ministers, this government decision stemmed from dictates imposed by the American envoy.

    Indian Prime Minister to Visit China

    News sources have⁢ announced the timing of the Indian Prime⁢ Minister’s visit to China.

    According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Mayadeen,⁣ reports indicate that Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit China.

    Reuters,quoting unnamed sources,reported that Narendra Modi will travel to China on August 31.

    The sources did not provide further details about the trip.

    The US-China trade war under former President Trump has pushed India toward warmer ties with China.strengthening relations with Beijing expands India’s diplomatic reach, although experts say it does not signal a fundamental shift in⁤ the two⁣ countries’ opposing positions on key issues.

    The Washington Post, citing analysts, noted that US tariffs have compelled India to rebuild ties with ⁢its longtime rival China-a⁢ neighbor with whom Delhi shares a disputed Himalayan border.

    Pankaj Saran, India’s former deputy national security advisor, stated: “These relations give us more room for strategic maneuvering and flexibility in dealing with the US government rather than leading ​us into a deadlock. We seek peace ‍in the region, and this might be a good time for that.”

    Other analysts beleive Delhi views closer ties with Beijing ‌as an prospect to better navigate its ⁤relationship ‌with US President donald Trump.

    While improving relations⁤ broaden India’s diplomatic scope, experts ​emphasize ther is no fundamental change in their longstanding contradictory⁤ positions on critical matters. ‌The decades-long lack of a clearly defined border between India and China along⁢ the Himalayas-divided ⁢only ‌by a line of actual⁣ control-has been a source of tension.

    India has long tried to tap into China’s manufacturing trade markets ⁤using its vast workforce; however, Indian factories are not yet ready for this integration.Over the past decade,Prime Minister Modi has pursued an initiative called “Make in ‌India” aimed at strengthening domestic production capabilities.
