Various political parties are gearing up for India's general elections slated for the first half of 2019. Apart from the fierce competition with opposition parties, there are internal conflicts within the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Opposition parties, notably the Congress party, are anxious to defeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP, while Modi's own party members are trying to replace him. It seems that the focus of the struggle is on Modi. So, have his domestic and foreign
The U.S. media is aware that the Trump administration has only a narrow window of opportunity to attack China in the "trade war" before the situation in the U.S. worsens. The Trump administration aims to use the normal upswing of the U.S. business cycle in 2018 to disguise the pain that U.S. tariffs are causing for the U.S. population, companies, workers and farmers – before a downturn of the U.S. business cycle in 2019-2020 makes that pain more severe.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during the 2018 Australia-United States Ministerial Consultation meetings that he was confident South Pacific countries would choose the US over China, despite the Asian power's move to make economic and strategic advances at small island nations.

This by itself makes it a key international event – a type of equivalent of a G7 for developing countries. But BRICS represents a greater proportion of world economic growth than the advanced G7 economies.
The 10th BRICS Summit kicked off Wednesday in Johannesburg, South Africa. Under the theme "BRICS in Africa: Collaboration for Inclusive Growth and Shared Prosperity in the 4th Industrial Revolution," the summit has designed an extensive outreach program that engages chair countries of various African organizations based on the BRICS-plus mechanism proposed by the Xiamen Summit last year.
