With 70-96 million Indians facing rare diseases and sky-high treatment costs, will a 10% customs duty cut really make a difference? And adding 10,000 medical seats.
Thailand has unilaterally terminated a 25-year-old agreement with Cambodia for joint offshore energy exploration. This move follows a surge in nationalism that helped Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul secure reelection after two deadly border conflicts last year.

थाईलैंड ने कंबोडिया के साथ ऊर्जा अन्वेषण के 25 साल पुराने समझौते को एकतरफा समाप्त कर दिया है। यह कदम पिछले साल दो घातक सीमा संघर्षों के बाद प्रधानमंत्री अनुतिन चार्नविराकुल को मिली जीत और राष्ट्रवादी लहर के बीच आया है। थाईलैंड का तर्क है कि यह निर्णय प्रगति की कमी के कारण लिया गया है, जबकि कंबोडिया ने विवाद को अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कानून के तहत सुलझाने के लिए कदम बढ़ाए हैं। हालिया संघर्षों में 150 लोगों की जान जाने के बाद, क्या यह फैसला संसाधन स्वतंत्रता की ओर एक रणनीतिक बदलाव है या क्षेत्रीय राष्ट्रवाद का खतरनाक विस्तार ?
