Wang Yi praised Rohtos efforts and contributions to the development of China-India relations. Wang Yi stated that under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both countries, China-India relations have embarked on the right track of improvement and development. China and India are two major neighbors and two major emerging economies, and their common interests far outweigh their differences. Without the modernization of China and India, there is no modernization of the world. Faced with a complex and volatile international situation, China is willing to work with India to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, adhere to the principle that each country is a development opportunity for the other, not a threat, and is a partner rather than a competitor; expand mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields; safeguard the common interests of the Global South; strengthen multilateral cooperation within mechanisms such as BRICS; and consolidate the hard-won positive momentum of China-India relations.On March 26, it was learned that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and North Korean General Secretary of the Workers Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission Kim Jong Un signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation between the two countries in Pyongyang.

This is the first visit to North Korea by a Belarusian leader.March 26 – Investors are searching for the “pain point” that could prompt President Trump to change his policy on the Iran war, as the president’s social media posts have triggered sharp fluctuations in the oil market. Since Trump launched his Middle East wars, he has often intensified his threats against Iran during weekend oil market closures and hinted at impending peace when oil prices rise. This pattern highlights the central role of the oil market in the conflict process and the White House’s success in preventing oil prices from spiraling out of control – at least so far. “It’s clear that Trump is afraid of high oil prices… Gasoline prices above $4 are politically fatal,” said Jorge Montepek, an oil analyst at Onyx Capital Group. “On the other hand, his pride is also important. He can’t let himself look like he’s lost.” A veteran energy trader noted a clear pattern: whenever U.S. oil prices approach $95 to $100 a barrel, the government’s conciliatory rhetoric increases, and market speculation about potential government intervention in the oil market intensifies.

Celsius crypto lender, now bankrupt, sues ex-money manager over alleged theft

Before the cryptocurrency lender went bankrupt last month, Celsius Network LLC, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by the company against a former investment manager, lost or stole assets worth tens of millions of dollars.


After Stone misrepresented himself as a pioneer in the industry, Celsius filed a case in Manhattan bankruptcy court accusing Stone and his business KeyFi Inc of "gross carelessness" and "extraordinarily poor" crypto investment.


Stone was "unable" to use cryptocurrencies profitably, according to Celsius, leading to losses of "several tens of millions of dollars."


He allegedly used stolen money to purchase hundreds of non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), which he kept out of sight, and then hid his activities by using Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency "mixer" that the U.S. Treasury Department banned on August 8 due to concerns that it could be used to launder the proceeds of cybercrime.


Six weeks after KeyFi sued Celsius in a Manhattan-based New York state court, the current case was filed on Tuesday.


It alleged that Celsius operated a Ponzi scheme, improperly handled client deposits, neglected to hedge investments, and defrauded Stone of possible compensation worth hundreds of millions of dollars.


According to court documents, Stone worked with Celsius for roughly seven months, concluding in March 2021.


Stone's attorney Kyle Roche said via email that Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky had approved KeyFi's remuneration, which included NFTs.


The most recent filing by Celsius, according to Roche, "is an effort to rewrite history and make KeyFi and Mr. Stone the scapegoat for their organizational failure."


Each party feels the other is owed money, and both lawsuits aim to recover it as well as compensatory and punitive damages.


After halting withdrawals and transfers for its 1.7 million clients because to "extreme" market circumstances on July 13, Celsius, located in Hoboken, New Jersey, filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors.


The cases are KeyFi Inc. v. Celsius Network Ltd. et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 652367/2022; and Celsius Network Ltd. et al. v. Stone et al., U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-ap-01139.
