DTN News - 5th IBSA IN PRETORIA NEWS: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Returns Home After Attending IBSA Summit In South Africa
(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 19, 2011: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tonight returned home after a three-day visit to South Africa where he attended the India-Brazil-South Africa ( IBSA) Summit that voiced concern over the global economic and political turmoil.
Singh, who left the capital on Monday for Pretoria, held bilateral talks with South African President Jacob Zuma and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff during his stay there and discussed ways to enhance all-round relations, particularly in trade.
Addressing the 5th Summit of the bloc, Singh, joined by Zuma and Russell, cautioned that economic crisis in developed countries could affect developing nations and pressed for urgent steps by Europe and other advanced economies to prevent "double-dip" recession.
They also sought reform of global institutions of governance, including UN and financial bodies, to address current international challenges.
Singh said the world financial and capital markets were showing signs of "acute distress" due to the negative signals sent by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and recessionary trends in the "traditional engines" of global economy -- the US, Europe and Japan.

DTN News - AFGHAN WAR NEWS: Hillary Clinton Arrives In Kabul, Show Of Commitment

DTN News - AFGHAN WAR NEWS: Hillary Clinton Arrives In Kabul, Show Of Commitment
(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 20, 2011: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will discuss possible peace talks and the handover of security to Afghan forces when she meets Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other key leaders in Kabul on Thursday.
Her arrival on Wednesday follows several high profile attacks in the Afghan capital, including an assault on the U.S. embassy in September and days later the assassination of Karzai's top peace envoy, former President Burhanuddin Rabbani.
"The secretary wants to show our commitment to Afghanistan," one U.S. official told reporters traveling with Clinton.
Efforts to reach a political solution to a conflict now over a decade old will be on her agenda, along with support for Afghans as foreign forces hand over security control of parts of the country and start heading home, the official said.
Clinton will meet Karzai and Foreign Minister Zalmai Rassoul on Thursday, U.S. officials said, and hold a round-table meeting with non-government leaders and civil society activists.
She is expected to discuss U.S. strategic relations with Afghanistan and ties between Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as preview plans for conferences on the future of Afghanistan due to be held in Istanbul in November and Bonn in December.
Ties between Kabul and Islamabad have been particularly strained since the assassination of Rabbani, who was killed by a suicide bomber posing as a Taliban reconciliation envoy.
Many Afghans, including senior officials, have accused the Pakistan government of having links to the killing, and accused their neighbor of fomenting instability to further its own political interests. Pakistan denies this.
Karzai has been more circumspect, but hinted after the killing that he had lost hope in pursuing peace talks with the Taliban and suggested negotiations with Pakistan instead.
Top U.S. officials accused Pakistan of supporting insurgent groups in Afghanistan after September's 20-hour attack on diplomatic targets in Kabul, including the U.S. embassy.
Clinton said last week the United States could not abandon Pakistan but if Islamabad did not help solve Afghanistan's difficulties it would "continue to be part of the problem."
She has also suggested Washington would remain open to exploring a peace settlement in Afghanistan that includes the Haqqani network, but one of the group's leaders told Reuters it did not think the United States was sincere about peace.
Clinton's visit to Kabul follows a visit to Libya where she urged its disparate militias to unite around their new leaders.
