and so my friends, what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the agent, researchers and scientists all over the world. for a no race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature, the more likes watching it. on youtube, dw documentary, the basic and state of the news aisha coming up today out china is driving in depth and us engagement in the pacific islands, dinner. the movie and you were a city of states, i'm seeing a blinking arrive a pull out a new guinea, promising support and defense cooperation, wide. and will it work the

i'd be to explain it to you. welcome to a dw news aisha. i'm glad you could join us indian prime minister, and that is a multi has promised support in a meeting with leaders of 14 pacific island states in pa, for a new guinea. the indian leader arrived earlier to a special welcome from papa and you were getting prime minister james matter of a body in his subsequent meeting with leaders of pacific island states assured cooperation in areas such as digital space technology, climate change, and also environment protection. it is our meeting to place in the shadow of china's increasing engagement with the pacific islands economically and also in

security terms. involvement that is being seen with wearing this by the united states and regional allied australia will be used the moment to offer india as another partner in the region. part of is dental diploma. somebody operate in the start shoulder to shoulder, to stick with the pacific island friends are in this challenging time part of my money back to be made in india, vaccines or central medicines, yet wheat or sugar part of india has been helping all fellow countries, according to its capabilities mother, i've got a free open are included in the we support a free open and inclusive in the pacific. this will get some we respect the sovereignty and integrity of all countries mancha. and the,

joining me not the more context is dr. drug and not fund head of the stucco. incentive facilitation. and in the pacific affairs doctor pond up. what does india want from papa a new guinea and the other pacific island states. oh, yes. uh, i think uh the reason is critical to india to end up was because glow in lock off for strategic requirements of their, for india. if he's not these, i think over the last 8 to 10 years, india is looking at the pacific island countries. incomes obstructed. again, gives me in, i mean, the roads and renewable energy game. what's the graphic id in uh, see and modeling, ecological environmental and gives me more of them that i think uh uh, if we type on this term from sick, you can start to the point of view these island nations are typically for india as brought on. even the pacific ot agents,

it's complimentary. the pacifica policies instruct digits of all the countries, particularly of the united states of america and all the quad partners like japan, australia. so therefore, this is a critical regions, but india for multiple regions. i mean, the also, india held this for them for inter pacific island cooperation was very back in 2015 . and now you certainly have the tide installment of this meeting. east china. the main reason for this outreach. now of course china is the most, uh, uh, significant uh, you know, mostly would think factor for us. so we've seen the best because then bridges and also india's outreach in the pacific island regions. if we'd probably from the starting the chinese strategy on the switching thing that has been, it comes from frontier chinese sick, it would be, it could all make as well as literally outreach in the regions. the complete uh, i learned the turn of concrete to in the past to pick good reasons. but china has just probably instructed the key points. um, not only from the cv,

almost some point of view, but also from the military point of view. doctor has definitely really encouraged countries like india and us, including defined numbers fairly a to read, think about their pacific island countries, but for india, i think you are right up to 2014 and 15. that's been a gap. and i think um, even though that has been fueled time enough office shall be just the dialect in countries like pop the engine offices visiting some of these countries in the, in the pacific regions. but still, i think the minister of the, on the, you know, ground level of some mixed up was august or 13th, 2014 and 15. that has been a gap. and i think the time has come to the review on duty in recruiter to the those and discipline. and i think probably some would this be did uh, with the perfect they do that, you know, and there my point to reading if you're going to ties. but truly the question needs to be honest. if india actually possesses the resources, the finances, and the military strength to be able to come to

a chinese influence in the region. i think the only building chinese in clinton the regents is a big you know, how clean and task i'm not think a no single a nation's like india would be, you know, a 4 door to are going to design his influence. i think what needs to be done, these type of we need to be practical. i'm not thinking then it could only compete in see an ability is not gonna be a dock label, which would singlehandedly going to the china skip ability. we need a quote, emissions, not only i'm on the island can please, you know, the pre existing goods uh, offering to you. but also we need a much more consent to ted coordination. i'm the cord countries, particularly with the us. we to how do much more a, you know, a specified input goes to pacific island strategy. so therefore, i think that if we talk about the us uh under, by the new systems policy, that are us id, you know, the brands which is data part of many countries in the past because i'm confused.

and i think these are not gonna be smart grants, these are like 2.2 pipe 1000000, you know, incapacity building exercises. americans under that pressure because instructed you, they're providing until they, they just somebody deliberately and gets with us is engaged with their agents. nothing beats odd, compliment thinking, just outlook towards the region so therefore, india is not really competing enough to sink and kind of like on the chinese influence. i think the, the wig sinus adventure or some thailand, a, sorry, 2 boards, taiwan and, and putting the possibly guidelines going through the, you know, moving forward. and i think you didn't need to put in the think much more clearly in terms of collaborating with the, with the other contingent or just dr. bundle started with us on the line. because to add to what you were alluding to earlier in another development bump on new guinea has also signed a new defense fact with the united states. you had us secretary of state anthony

blinking him arriving in the 4th most be for the ceremony in place. the president joe biden, while the before the signing and blinking met with other leaders, including news it is 5 minutes to chris hipkins. the dean gives us access to the country, sports and air feels as washington tries to counter a chinese influence in the region. dr. bundle, why is the security deed in between the united states and pop while a new guinea important? i think the key is the probably one issue. if you see the, the, we, the chinese strategies expanding towards not only the prospect regions, but also 2 words the pacific islander, since i think that these different act you the most for then what do with the impact of why did he did? he said vincent already constructed 2nd. i think the 2nd thing we meant between us, i'm the popular new good guy now is a part of the us pacific island. somebody which was blinding september 2022. and i

think did that has been a lot has been discuss all the i'm really can, should be engaged. i'm interested in the regents. so therefore this is a continuation off the board, the china factor and also to enhance the many constructed intelligence. you know, you're talking about the american involvement degrees or under your head president by didn't want to cancel his trip last minute to concentrate on arguably, domestic and donald politics in the united states. i'm wondering what the message, but what is the message that that sends to the pacific islands? of course that will not really, but you know, board, well i'm going to pass the big island countries because the, the, when the chinese president, you can think has visited cardboard in the regions. audio and china had a much more concern for food on investment. the, you know, what in 3rd, i'm strategic towards the past because then countries, so by they not visiting uh to the region to the country is a suicide backup. that many can you know for setting the regents and not many can

outreach on the miss towards the regions. so therefore the seats are definitely will not be positively taken. but again, i think of the, with the, i'm going to constructed the easy boarding, the lock the door, you know, positively dropping part india for many a best to pick out on countries. and i think they've received that our office on liberty making a jump in between us and the pacific island countries that are leadership. so me to national security advisor level to you know, our beatrix are happening. so that's the positive indications. but you are right. i think by than not budgeting the regions, is that you said back for dominic and putting on the image. imagine the regents the bottom, we're talking about china looming logic in the region, especially. we had come to the pacific islands and that's talking about australia and it's ally the united states. and let's look at the security de la, the china assigned with the solomon islands last year. and today you have bought a new guinea signing the defense cooperation agreement with washington. i'm just

wondering if the pacific island nation themselves are united. when it comes to resisting chinese influence a separately deadlock united, they would like to see that you can only be constructed. you can fortunate these, let's be very clear that the bus to pick island can please me better investment. they need to connect to the rest of the work on, particularly the need to connect with the major economies into what so therefore they will, the way you come to chinese investment chinese fleming. 30, just as well as they would also in, but you know, yeah, welcome to i'm going to come in board. my domini constructed g including the other water in the pacific countries. so therefore, i think for the bus to pick island countries, the job a pdf will participate and therefore they would like to see as much as the chinese investment coming on. the other quad countries, including the other end up with big country. i think for them indian mission to be very mindful, because the, with the chinese are looking at probably one is to the,

with the chinese are looking at the pacific island, the frontage. it's not really good part of india support on the comic diplomacy in the regions. so therefore, i think the indian is to really know how they've been constructed in terms of strep . it's again, gives meant political engagement on be invested in the regions along with the other countries spot, nothing with the court countries, particularly with the us. so therefore, bmw will they be getting along with the, you know, i'm the secretary of state blinking, visiting, have the same time is away from the needs of people when it comes development for india, us tides, particularly we named gives us how to having the much more collaborative reports hoping against the apocalypse within the pacific regions, particularly in the past to be contingent. so this is definitely the welcome page development, but a lot has to be done. and i'm sure we were talking about that in the future. but for the time being we'll have to leave it there. thanks so much for joining us. what are you talking about? find the head of the stucco incentive as out there sion and in the pacific affairs . and because i want to thank you, lisa, a prime minister,

and then somebody then heads to australia. so to visit that, that's something that's going to be coming to onto the news. a share of that does it for today we'd be back again tomorrow with more news and updates and see you then goodbye. the every jenny is far less surprising. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police

the free time, but still very much alive. your guy, especially hot spots in germany, recognizes where exactly i learned a lot of our culture history. all their travel extremely worth a visit. the the new hits meta with a record breaking fine over data transfers to the us. meta says it's up to politicians on both sides to solve a problem. that's dog transatlantic relations for a decade. also when our show china flashes flashes of anger after the latest g 7 meeting and puts us chip or micron on

a blacklist for major projects in the country. it's also on our show is a new wind blowing in the fight between communities and wind turbine developers. we look at some new initiatives to give residents a lot of the prophets. hello, and welcome to the show, obviously beardsley in berlin. and we'd begin an ireland where regulators have hit meta with a 1200000000 euro fine, largest such penalties since the strict data privacy rules inter entered effect 5 years ago on the data regulator. so the parent company of facebook, whatsapp and instagram continues to run a file of rules governing data transfers to the us. they said meta has 5 months to bring its policies into line. the company says that it expects the u. s. and e regulators to work out a broader data privacy agreement in the coming months of the fine is the latest chapter and a decade long dispute. going back to revelations, the us intelligence agencies were accessing personal data from facebook as well as other social media companies.
