West Asia Energy Shock: An LPG tanker carrying 20,000 tonnes docked at India’s Kandla port after crossing the Strait of Hormuz, as shipping disruptions tied to the Gulf conflict keep pressure on regional supply chains. India’s Austerity Push: Uttar Pradesh advised industries to adopt at least two work-from-home days weekly amid fuel-cost and energy-supply worries, echoing Modi’s broader “pragmatic” restraint appeal. Diplomacy & Trade: Modi’s Netherlands visit culminated in a Strategic Partnership and 17 pacts, with both sides backing free navigation through Hormuz and cooperation on semiconductors, critical minerals, defence, and energy. APEC Spotlight: APEC’s Women and the Economy Forum in Shanghai put women’s roles in digital transformation and entrepreneurship at the center of “shared prosperity.” Space & Security: ICEYE chose India for its first Asia-Pacific satellite manufacturing hub, aiming to scale small-satellite production for defence and surveillance. Central Asia Climate Tech: Kazakhstan launched a rain-making project with UAE support to boost reservoir filling and ease drought impacts. Sports & Culture: Kona’s international billfish tournament was canceled for 2026, while Panda Fest Indianapolis returns this weekend with Asian food and culture.
