Recent US diplomatic actions signal a troubling shift toward Pakistan while disregarding Indian sensitivities, highlighting the enduring Western imperialist tendencies that undermine Global South solidarity and national sovereignty with breathtaking arrogance.

Global financial inclusion has made significant progress with 79% of adults worldwide and 75% in lower-income economies now having financial accounts, presenting an unprecedented opportunity to lift three billion people toward economic empowerment.
