Sponsored by Togo, the resolution argues that widely used world maps distort the apparent size of regions located far north and south of the equator. It says such distortions have contributed to minimising the perceived size of Africa, Latin America and South Asia and have reinforced an imbalanced understanding of the world.

UN Resolution Challenges Long-Used Map Projection

Titled “Correct the map”: rebalancing global cartographic representation and promoting equitable representation of the world’s regions, particularly Africa, the resolution highlights concerns over the continued use of projections that inaccurately portray the relative size of continents.

It specifically refers to the Mercator projection, developed in the 16th century primarily for navigation. Despite the distortions associated with representing the Earth’s curved surface on a flat map, the projection continues to be widely used in educational materials, media, digital platforms and official documents.

The resolution argues that landmasses located farther from the equator appear disproportionately large under the Mercator projection. This has implications for how people perceive the relative size and geographical importance of different parts of the world.

Six countries abstained during the vote: Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine. The United States was the only country to vote against the resolution.

India Supports Fairer Cartographic Representation

Explaining India’s position, Raghoo Puri, First Secretary at India’s Permanent Mission to the UN, said New Delhi welcomed the objective of encouraging more accurate and representative approaches to map-making.

“We believe that maps play an important role in how societies understand geography and the relative scale of the world around us,” Puri said.

India, however, made clear that its support did not amount to an endorsement of one particular map projection. Puri said New Delhi viewed the resolution as encouraging broader consideration of Equal Area map projections.

“We believe that the resolution should be understood as supporting the broader use and consideration of Equal Area map projections, and not as endorsing the Equal Earth projection or any other specific map projection,” Puri said.

India Draws Line On Specific Map Projection

Equal Area projections are designed to preserve the relative areas of geographical regions, addressing one of the major limitations associated with projections such as Mercator. India’s position was that the UN resolution should encourage consideration of such approaches rather than prescribe a particular projection.

By voting for the resolution, India therefore supported the broader objective of improving the fairness and accuracy of global cartographic representation while maintaining that the text should not be interpreted as backing the Equal Earth projection or any other individual map design.

The overwhelming vote in favour reflects growing attention at the international level to how cartographic choices can shape perceptions of the relative scale of different regions. The resolution specifically places emphasis on improving the representation of Africa and other regions whose apparent size can be significantly affected by conventional world maps.

Previously, Talwani issued a temporary restraining order lasting 14 days, which briefly halted the enforcement of the USPS rule while she deliberated on a more permanent injunction. The Trump administration sought intervention from the US Supreme Court to overturn this order.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority had recently lifted an earlier injunction from Talwani that had blocked similar USPS restrictions. The implementation of the new postal rule was connected to an executive order signed by President Trump in March 2020.

Details of the USPS Rule and Legal Responses

The new USPS rule requires states to supply a list of recipients for mail ballots. Moreover, both outgoing and return ballot envelopes will need to feature unique barcodes. If ballots do not meet these new specifications or are linked to voters not on the provided lists, USPS retains the right to refuse their delivery.

Critics, including voting rights advocates and several Democratic-led states, argue that these changes could potentially disenfranchise eligible voters. They contend that the rule was enacted in violation of the US Constitution, which grants states authority over the conduct of elections.

Legal representatives from the Justice Department, however, assert that the USPS possesses the authority to set reasonable requirements for the design of envelope formats. They maintain that state election officials will remain responsible for determining voter eligibility for mail-in ballots.

Implications for States and the Timing of the Rule

All 50 states in the US permit some form of mail-in voting, with 29 states allowing mail-ballot requests without requiring a justification from voters, and eight states conducting elections entirely via mail. Notably, North Carolina has recently become the first state to send out ballots for the upcoming elections.

Critics have expressed concerns that the swift implementation of this rule could necessitate significant changes to the operational systems in state election offices, particularly with elections less than two months away. Many states have already completed the printing of their ballots and envelopes.

According to a USPS official, a dedicated online portal intended for states to upload voter registration lists is not yet operational, with expectations of it being available during the week of September 7. Additionally, an anonymous federal whistleblower, whose statement was released by Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, indicated that USPS is hurriedly working to establish a potentially disruptive mailing system.

In parallel, the Trump administration has requested the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals to recognise their appeal against Talwani’s original restraining order. However, the court had not issued a ruling on this matter prior to Talwani’s latest decision to extend the injunction.

Diplomatic sources have indicated, however, that the likelihood of specific punitive measures being enacted by the UN appears to be minimal, particularly given the veto power held by Russia and China, both of which maintain strong ties with Iran. This situation complicates the potential for immediate actions against Iran, despite ongoing concerns regarding its nuclear programme.

As stipulated in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran is required to disclose all nuclear materials and activities while granting the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) the ability to verify that none are being diverted for non-peaceful use. This referral proposal has been under discussion since June 2025, following the IAEA board’s allegation of Iran’s non-compliance for the first time in two decades, coinciding with military operations by the US and Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities.

Call for Diplomatic Solutions

The draft resolution, which has been reviewed by The Associated Press and previously reported by Reuters, requests IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to distribute the resolution along with past resolutions to all Member States of the Agency, as well as to the UN Security Council and General Assembly. It emphasises the importance of seeking a diplomatic resolution concerning the challenges posed by Iran’s nuclear programme, underscoring the need for an agreement that addresses all international concerns linked to Iran’s nuclear activities.

While the proposal is still in the drafting phase and not yet formally presented to the IAEA board, amendments may be suggested by member states. Once formally submitted, it is anticipated to be brought to a vote at the upcoming IAEA Board of Governors meeting scheduled for next week in Vienna.

A senior Western diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions, noted that the referral has been temporarily delayed to allow one last effort for diplomatic engagement. The official asserted that, given Iran’s lack of cooperation and the breakdown of communication, decisive action from the board is now warranted.

IAEA Concerns Over Iran’s Compliance

Since the military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities during the 12-day conflict in June 2025, Iranian authorities have barred IAEA inspectors from accessing targeted sites, contravening their legal obligations to facilitate inspections. In addition, the agency has been unable to verify the status of Iran’s stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium since the conflict erupted.

The IAEA has indicated that this difficulty has been exacerbated by the ongoing hostilities initiated by the US and Israel on February 28, which included recent military actions. In a confidential report reviewed by the AP, the agency stated on Tuesday that Iran’s ongoing refusal to grant inspectors access to its nuclear sites constitutes a significant “proliferation risk” that must be urgently addressed.

According to IAEA estimates, Iran possesses approximately 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60 per cent purity, which is only a short technical step away from the weapons-grade standard of 90 per cent. Last year, Grossi highlighted the potential implications, indicating that this stockpile could enable Iran to construct as many as ten nuclear bombs if it chose to pursue weaponisation, although he emphasised that this does not confirm that Iran has such capabilities.

Furthermore, the IAEA has reported no advancements in its long-standing investigation regarding uranium traces discovered at various undeclared sites in Iran. Western officials have raised concerns that these traces might contribute evidence of Iran’s covert nuclear weapons programme prior to 2003. Despite these allegations, Iran maintains that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful in nature.

Historically, Xi has seldom travelled abroad accompanied by corporate leaders, particularly following a stringent regulatory clampdown in sectors such as technology, education, and real estate, which has led to several private-sector figures falling out of favour. The specific members of the business delegation remain unconfirmed, according to reports. The White House has mentioned that it is not monitoring a Chinese CEO delegation but has not elaborated on this statement.

One insider indicated that this business presence could signify China’s readiness to bolster trade relations and investment opportunities, potentially presenting economic benefits for the Trump administration ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in November.

Challenges Faced by Chinese Firms in the US

Chinese enterprises have increasingly come under scrutiny regarding their activities and investments in the United States. Washington has instituted a 100 per cent tariff on imported electric vehicles from China, restricted drone, router, and robot imports, and mandated the divestiture of TikTok’s US operations. Numerous major Chinese technology firms have also been added to US national security-related blacklists.

In 2015, Xi last took a substantial business contingent to the United States, which featured prominent figures such as Alibaba founder Jack Ma and Tencent founder Pony Ma. During that visit, China secured a USD 38 billion deal for 300 Boeing aircraft, while Xi engaged with leading US technology executives, including Apple CEO Tim Cook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Trump has previously visited China with large groups of American business leaders, aiming to ensure better access to Chinese markets. Notably, during a visit in May of this year, he was accompanied by 18 US executives, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Summit Expectations Remain Modest

In May, the US and China established formal mechanisms aimed at managing their trade and investment relations. Nevertheless, sources suggest that the Board of Investment is unlikely to yield significant outcomes during the upcoming summit due to a restrictive environment for Chinese investment in the United States. There are limited expectations for groundbreaking agreements, according to insiders.

There remains a divide between Beijing and Washington regarding which goods can be classified as “non-sensitive” under the Board of Trade. Currently, around ten product categories are under consideration, with potential adjustments likely before the summit.

A key focus for the summit will be achieving an agreement on the Board of Trade and obtaining additional export licences for rare earths for US companies. A US official indicated that the administration continues to encourage China to adhere to commitments made in Busan last October, which led to a temporary trade truce and the suspension of certain export controls and tariffs. Concurrently, China is advocating for further tariff reductions, with its commerce ministry in July discussing reciprocal tariff cuts amounting to USD 30 billion.

Moreover, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced on Thursday that the two nations would provide updates on agricultural matters and non-tariff barriers during the summit; however, no specific details were made available.

In early September, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Greer, and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are expected to convene to explore possible outcomes for the upcoming summit, as reported by multiple sources.

Rajapaksa, 40, was questioned for more than five hours by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) on Friday before being arrested and produced before Magistrate Asanga S Boderagama. The Colombo magistrate ordered him to remain in custody until September 18, officials said.

Probe Focuses On Alleged Airbus Deal Payments

The investigation centres on allegations that Rajapaksa benefited by USD 800,000 from the purchase of wide-bodied Airbus aircraft by SriLankan Airlines during his father’s presidency.

According to the information being examined by the anti-graft commission, commissions linked to the aircraft purchases were deposited into various bank accounts, with investigators questioning Rajapaksa over his alleged benefit from the transactions.

The arrest is the first instance of a member of Sri Lanka’s former first family being remanded since the National People’s Power government came to power two years ago.

Rajapaksa’s cousin, Shashindra Rajapaksa, is currently out on bail after being remanded earlier this year in a separate case.

SLPP Alleges Political Motive Behind Arrest

Namal Rajapaksa is a leader of the opposition Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), which has accused the government of using the case to disrupt its political activities.

Rajapaksa had announced plans to hold the first of a series of major anti-government public rallies on September 12 in Anuradhapura, a town in Sri Lanka’s north-central region.

The SLPP alleged that the government deliberately sought to have Rajapaksa remanded in order to derail the planned rally and weaken his campaign against the government.

Rajapaksa’s siblings are also facing various allegations of wrongdoing. The family members have rejected the accusations and described the cases against them as politically motivated witch hunts.

Former Rajapaksa Government Officials Face Scrutiny

Friday’s arrest came shortly after CIABOC detained Johnston Fernando, who served as a Cabinet minister under Rajapaksa-led governments between 2005 and 2023.

Authorities accused Fernando of misusing public funds to install seating at a conference hall in the central district of Kandy that was named after former president Mahinda Rajapaksa.

The latest cases have brought renewed scrutiny on figures associated with the Rajapaksa administrations, with the anti-graft commission continuing investigations into alleged misuse of public resources and corruption.

Namal Rajapaksa’s remand until September 18 comes as his opposition party prepares for a series of public protests and rallies against the current National People’s Power government.

The Air Force informed Wyden that it took measures to disable advertising identifiers on computers and mobile devices two months prior to the letters’ release. Additionally, US Special Operations Command indicated in a separate communication that it had recently deactivated advertising identifiers on its Windows platforms. Meanwhile, the Army confirmed to Reuters that it has taken similar actions concerning mobile devices since earlier this year.

Senator Wyden, representing Oregon, has consistently urged the Pentagon to address this critical issue. The recent disclosures highlight significant vulnerabilities regarding the use of location data gathered by the advertising industry, which data brokers utilise to track military personnel deployed in combat zones.

Disabling Advertising IDs Across Services

The Army and Navy sent messages to Wyden confirming the disabling of advertising identifiers on military equipment, although they did not specify the timeline of these actions. The Army stated that it had blocked advertising IDs on Windows computers prior to 2021. As for mobile devices from Android and Apple, the disabling of this feature had been operational by default since February 2026.

Despite multiple inquiries, the Navy did not provide responses to requests for further comments. The initiative to limit location data from smartphones coincides with the reconsideration of restrictions on mobile device usage among military personnel. In July, it was reported that some service members in the Middle East might be required to surrender their phones, following concerns that the videos they shared online were assisting Iranian forces in targeting US bases in the area.

On September 2, 2026, Wyden and US Representative Pat Harrigan, a Republican from North Carolina, urged the Pentagon to investigate whether the military adequately addressed the risks posed by the location data market. Their letter incorporated updates from various military branches about their measures to disable advertising IDs on devices.

Reactions and Ongoing Concerns Regarding Data Privacy

In a statement, Wyden noted that the military’s current efforts have not been effective at mitigating this ongoing threat. Harrigan expressed his concerns, stating that adversaries should not be permitted to easily purchase information that aids in tracing American troops. The Pentagon replied via email that it would address these concerns directly with the lawmakers involved.

Mobile advertising IDs, commonly referred to as MAIDs, serve as unique identifiers linked to specific devices, enabling tracking of individual activities across various mobile applications while also allowing for precise location identification. Zach Edwards, co-founder of Decryptads, a privacy-focused ad tech firm, acknowledged the move to disable MAIDs on military devices as a positive development.

Edwards emphasized that the restrictions should prevent personnel location information from being included in bulk data sales by numerous vendors. Nevertheless, he cautioned that there remains the potential for tracking personnel through alternative, more complex mechanisms, such as triangulating technical device specifics with network data or other location-related information.

The post on X referred to the chocolate sculpture as the “viral India Gate made of chocolate” and expressed hope that it would eventually reach PM Modi. The embassy remarked, “PM is determined that it finds its way to PM Modi & India—next time!”

De Wever mentioned the intended gift during a joint press conference with PM Modi following their discussions at Hyderabad House in New Delhi.

Details on the Chocolate Sculpture and Its Symbolism

During the press briefing, Prime Minister De Wever described his plans to offer a fitting gift to PM Modi: a sculpture made from high-quality Belgian chocolates that represented the India Gate. He noted that this dessert could not endure the rigours of travel to India.

He compared the chocolate replica to the real India Gate, stating, “Unlike the real India Gate, which has stood for almost a century, the chocolate version didn’t even survive the journey to India.” In a light-hearted twist, he added, “Chocolate is excellent for diplomacy, but not excellent for diplomatic travel, we noticed.”

Despite the mishap, De Wever assured that a backup sculpture exists in Belgium, pledging that he would eventually deliver it to Prime Minister Modi in proper condition. He stated, “That’s an ambition I leave India with today.”

Historical Significance of the Gift

The choice of India Gate as the subject of the sculpture was deliberate, as it is a significant monument that encapsulates the historical ties and future aspirations between India and Belgium. De Wever elaborated that the chocolate sculpture featured an enhanced portion of the inscription dedicated to Indian soldiers who fought and perished in Flanders Fields during the First World War.

He explained, “We chose India Gate deliberately, as a symbol whose meaning speaks directly to our shared history and future partnership.” The enduring connection between the two nations was prominently emphasised in his remarks.

De Wever also reflected on the significant contribution of Indian soldiers who journeyed thousands of miles to battle on Belgian territory more than a century ago. “We have not forgotten their courage and their sacrifice,” he affirmed, emphasising the importance of remembrance in maintaining peace.

Conclusion: A Highlight of the Diplomatic Visit

The chocolate India Gate emerged as a notable aspect of De Wever’s visit to India, merging Belgian artistry with a monument deeply linked to India’s heritage and the countries’ mutual wartime legacy. Following his discussions with PM Modi, De Wever praised India’s advancements and modernisation, acknowledging the transformation under the Indian Prime Minister’s leadership.

Although the original India Gate has stood the test of time for nearly a century, the chocolate rendition proved to be far less durable. However, as De Wever expressed, there remains a possibility for the diplomatic dessert to reach its intended recipients in the future.

A notable event during this visit was the inauguration of HRD Antwerp’s newly renovated and expanded diamond grading laboratory located in the Bandra Kurla Complex. According to a press release from HRD Antwerp, the laboratory’s expansion has allowed it to increase its capacity by thirty per cent, enabling the examination and grading of up to two thousand diamonds daily. The company plans to hire an additional forty full-time employees to accommodate the increased workload.

HRD Antwerp, which has been operational in India since 2012, caters to approximately one thousand five hundred clients, including jewellery manufacturers, retailers, and entities in the diamond production and trading sectors. Currently, the Indian operations contribute fifty-nine per cent of the company’s total group revenue, with an anticipated growth of fifteen point four per cent for the year, outpacing the overall group growth of twelve point six per cent.

India-Belgium High-Level Dialogue

Following the inaugural event, De Wever participated in the India-Belgium High-Level Dialogue concerning the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The meeting featured Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, with discussions centred on leveraging the India-EU FTA to strengthen bilateral business relations in various sectors.

Key sectors highlighted included gems and jewellery, logistics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, maritime services, green hydrogen, semiconductors, defence, and advanced manufacturing. De Wever emphasised the Port of Antwerp-Bruges as a vital entry point for Indian exports into the broader European market, noting its strategic location within trucking reach of two-thirds of European purchasing power.

De Wever remarked that the FTA would lay a robust foundation for amplifying commercial connections and creating more predictable supply chains amid growing global uncertainties. He specified that the agreement aims to eliminate or reduce tariffs on over ninety-five per cent of goods traded between India and Europe, thus opening avenues for increased cargo movement between the two regions.

Future Collaboration and Strategic Goals

During his address, De Wever outlined the existing functions of Antwerp-Bruges in relation to Indian exports, particularly in the food and pharmaceuticals sectors. He pointed out that nearly all Indian shrimp arriving in Northwest Europe transits through Antwerp-Bruges, bolstered by the port’s special cold-chain infrastructure essential for pharmaceuticals.

Green hydrogen was also emphasised as a prospective area for deeper collaboration, given India’s ambitious plans for its production as part of the energy transition. De Wever expressed Belgium’s intention to become a key northwest European hub for green energy imports, noting the apparent synergies between the two countries.

In concluding remarks, Goyal reiterated the significance of the India-EU FTA, reflecting a market population of two billion and representing a quarter of the global GDP. He affirmed that trade between India and the EU has already doubled over the past decade and advocated for enhanced collaboration across multiple sectors, including technology and innovation.

This structured approach aims to ensure that both nations enhance their economic ties rather than retreat into isolation, signifying a concerted effort to fortify their partnership in various industries.

When asked about speculations regarding a potential visit in 2027, Gor did not provide specific confirmation but advised observers to “stay tuned.” He pointed out that the upcoming year will arrive quickly, suggesting that any discussions about future visits are worth keeping an eye on.

Strengthening US-India Relations

The ambassador noted that the potential return of Trump to India is set against the backdrop of a strong personal relationship between Trump and Modi. Gor elaborated on the significance of this friendship in fostering greater engagement between the United States and India. He suggested that both leaders are committed to achieving results swiftly and that aligned priorities often lead to productive outcomes.

Gor mentioned the increasing frequency of interactions between high-ranking officials from both nations, highlighting that there is practically weekly travel between India and the US. This growing engagement underscores the evolving relationship between the two countries, aiming for deeper collaboration.

Moreover, Gor highlighted the importance of such interactions in enhancing bilateral ties, signalling a focus on mutual interests and cooperative goals that benefit both sides.

PM Modi’s Role in India’s Stability

He remarked, “India doing well is a great thing for us. We want a stable India. We want to work with a stable India.” Gor argued that Modi’s leadership plays a pivotal role in maintaining that stability, distinguishing India from other regions of the world facing unrest.

Gor referred to Modi’s sustained leadership over the last twelve years as an impressive achievement in a democratic context, expressing that the stability India can provide is beneficial on a global scale. He further indicated that Modi will be a focal point for Trump during the upcoming G20 summit scheduled in Florida later this year.
