HANOI - The leaders of Vietnam and Russia have said they want to boost ties as the pair met in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. Vietnamese President To Lam was full of praise for his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, congratulating him on his recent re-election. The United States has criticised the visit for giving a platform for President Putin to promote his war of aggression in Ukraine. Vietnam still values the historic ties it has with Russia even as it works to improve its relationship with Europe and the US.

The role of conflicts, and that of militaries themselves, is often not discussed when it comes to discussing causes of global warming. One apparent reason for not recognising the environmental havoc caused by militaries and conflicts is the absence of data. Besides the global warming and other ecological costs related to varied military campaigns, climate change itself has become a catalyst for conflict. In Pakistan as well, scant attention is given to the military’s broader ecological footprint or to the ecological consequences of its external and internal postures or actions. Conversely, there is ample scholarship demonstrating how militaries of neighbouring countries can use environmental diplomacy to co-manage ecologically threatened areas.

A senior Pakistani diplomat has called for a “concerted campaign” to recover all weapons from terrorist groups like Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which reportedly uses safe havens in Afghanistan to launch deadly cross-border attacks inside Pakistan. The 2001 UNPoA, which was backed by all member states, provides the framework for activities to counter the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. “Terrorists and criminals do not manufacture these arms,” the Pakistani envoy told delegates, pointing out they acquire them from illicit arms markets or receive them from entities that want to destabilize a particular region or country. “It is essential to investigate how terrorist groups and criminal organizations acquire such sophisticated weapons,” Ambassador Akram said. In this regard, Ambassador Akram said the current review conference offers an important opportunity to assess progress, identify challenges, and chart the way forward.
