New Delhi [India], April 12 (ANI/NewsVoir): The global broker OctaFX started a new contest back in March - a competition of business ideas to support India s entrepreneurial spirit, where anyone can participate. The company has recently announced its best pitches.
This new OctaFX contest had several phases. In the first stage, between 15 and 22 March, the OctaFX team chose eight finalists with the best start-up ideas. The time for posting those pitches ended on 22 March 2021.
Between 23 and 25 March, the OctaFX Instagram subscribers were asked to vote for three of the eight finalists and decided who deserved to receive the first, second, and third prize.
When the United Kingdom (UK) releases the highly anticipated integrated review of its foreign, defence, security and development policy in March, it will mark the first formal iteration of the UK’s Indo-Pacific strategy. This brief explores the dynamics that are driving the UK’s tilt to the Indo-Pacific. It identifies three key drivers that are prompting the shift: a reappraisal of China, the economic fallout of Brexit, and the UK’s close ties with the US. It explores the emerging trends in this churn across security, trade, development, and diplomatic domains and highlights the opportunities they afford the India-UK relationship.
India more of a rival than ‘commercial interest’ for post-Brexit UK, says British think-tank report

A major British think-tank has issued a word of caution to the United Kingdom government, asking it to view India more as a rival than an important “commercial interest”. In its “Global Britain, Global Broker: A blueprint for the UK’s future international role” report, the Chatham House has termed India, Russia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia as the “Difficult Four” for a post-Brexit UK.

Though the world, cut off behind travel bans, has perhaps never felt further away for millions of Britons, one thing has changed in Whitehall over the course of this COVID-blighted winter: It can no longer be said that the only foreign-policy debate in the United Kingdom is about Brexit. With the launch this week of a major new report by the British think tank Chatham House, titled “Global Britain, Global Broker,” there are now two distinct visions emerging of Britain’s role in the world: one positioned in the political center and the other on the right.

London: At a time when India and the United Kingdom are apparently resetting their relations post Brexit, a new influential report by a major British think tank has warned the UK government that four countries, including India should be viewed not just as an important “commercial interest” but also a “rival”. India is one of the key targets of the UK s post-Brexit ‘Global Britain’ strategy.
