The West is pitching India and China against each other, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said here on Thursday.

Lavrov, who was a vocal critic of the QUAD grouping comprising India, Australia, Japan and the US to contain China, has muted his criticism after the setting up of AUKUS — a military alliance of Australia, the UK and the US.

The foreign minister said the West is trying to undermine the role of ASEAN in Asia. He also called for a collective security arrangement in Eurasia.

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).
