India welcomes U.S. listing of The Resistance Front as global terrorist outfit

The Government of India on Friday welcomed the United States’ decision to designate The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity.

In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) called the move a significant step in the global fight against terrorism and reaffirmed India’s continued cooperation with international partners to ensure terrorist groups and their proxies are held accountable.

“The TRF, a proxy of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), has been involved in numerous terror activities, including the heinous attack on civilians in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, for which it twice claimed responsibility,” the MEA stated.

The government emphasized that such coordinated global actions are vital to dismantle terror networks operating across borders and ensure justice for victims of terrorism.

India and Maldives discussing free trade agreement, investment pact

India and the Maldives have initiated discussions to negotiate a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and an Investment Treaty, marking a significant step towards strengthening bilateral economic ties. This announcement was made by Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Tuesday, reflecting the deepening of strategic and commercial relations between the two nations.

The proposed FTA and investment pact aim to enhance cross-border trade, attract mutual investments, and streamline regulatory frameworks to facilitate ease of doing business. These agreements are expected to create new economic opportunities, particularly in sectors such as tourism, infrastructure, and technology, which are pivotal to the Maldivian economy and align with India’s regional growth objectives.

In addition to trade and investment, the two countries are exploring new avenues of cooperation, particularly in the renewable energy sector. Foreign Secretary Misri highlighted that sustainable energy solutions, including solar and wind power, could become key pillars of collaboration. This aligns with India's broader commitment to green development and the Maldives' vulnerability to climate change, positioning both countries to benefit from joint initiatives in clean energy and environmental resilience.
