New Delhi, April 14

India has kept up its in-person diplomatic engagements despite a second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic hitting the country. Scheduled to attend a foreign ministers’ trilateral here, Australia’s Marise Payne cancelled her visit but her French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian arrived here on Monday and had an in-person meeting with S Jaishankar. Maldives Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid will arrive here on Thursday.

At the Raisina Dialogue, Payne pointed out that in terms of maritime safety and security, the Australia-France-India partnership had sound precedents of working together. The trio also shared a focus on sustainability of the oceans, resilience to natural disasters and climate change, she added. The minister also co-chaired an event with Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
