New Delhi, Aug 7 (IANS) India’s space cooperation agreement with Seychelles is the latest example of a decade‐long diplomatic push that uses space as a durable instrument of foreign diplomacy, a new report has said. On its own, India's space cooperation agreement with Seychelles in late June 2026 may look like a routine technical arrangement but seen alongside a decade of similar moves, it reveals one of the quietest transformations in India’s foreign policy, the report from Australia-based policy think tank Lowy Institute said. The pact covers ocean observation, marine science and coastal management, the report said, pointing out a template of similar satellite‐based services offered over the last decade on generous terms to partner states. "Seen against India’s wider diplomatic toolkit of the past decade, this list looks less like a series of disconnected bilateral deals and more like one strand of a much larger project," the report said. New Delhi, since 2014, has built an entire soft power portfolio around modest, practical initiatives presented as goodwill rather than strategy, it added. In May 2017, India launched South Asia Satellite, a geosynchronous communications platform, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described as a “gift” to neighbours, providing tele‐medicine, tele‐education, disaster management and broadcasting services. Since then, India has expanded cooperation, building ground stations in Bhutan and pursuing facilities in Fiji and Vietnam. India also deepened space cooperation with Australia, Japan, and the United States, and launched a formal Space Dialogue with the European Union in November 2025. New Delhi had signed space cooperation agreements with 61 countries and five multilateral organisations by early 2024. The report contrasted India's strategy with that of China's Belt and Road infrastructure financing in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific that has drawn resentment. The think tank said satellites are a portable form of soft power that can be offered to any partner without the political baggage of large loans. "India’s approach earns less strategic leverage in the short term, but it also earns far less local backlash," the report said, however, warning that India is effectively acting on faith, delivering its side up front with no lever to ensure follow-through. —IANS aar/pk

In industrial automation systems, fluctuations in process parameters are common. The ability to accurately judge the severity of these fluctuations and respond in time directly determines production safety and equipment life. The introduction of L, H, LL and HH alarms classifies abnormal conditions so that operators can see at a glance whether they need to closely monitor, take proactive adjustments or immediately execute emergency actions.
AS part of its intensified campaign against violations in the initial registration process for new vehicles, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) revealed on Friday that it has fined, suspended, and revoked licenses of motorcycle and car dealers found noncompliant with the prescribed initial registration procedures. LTO’s action followed hearings conducted on the show-cause orders (SCOs) previously issued by the agency against those facing complaints related to failure to comply with prescribed processing periods and the release of Official Receipts (ORs), Certificates of Registration (CRs), and license plates, LTO chief Markus Lacanilao told The Manila Times. Citing resolutions, Lacanilao said 37 dealers were fined, 39 were meted a P500,000 fine and a six-month suspension of their accreditation, and 12 had their accreditation revoked and blacklisted for one year for proven violations of existing LTO laws and regulations. Some of those fined were Premiumbikes, Novaliches, Quezon City; Wheeltek, Bagong Silang, Mandaluyong; Exponent Konka, Western Bicutan, Taguig; V8 Racer – Tonsuya, Malabon City; Guanzon Merchandising, Bayambang, Pangasinan; Eversure Maxim, Malalom, Leyte; and Rubi Grand Showroom, Panabo, Davao del Norte. Those slapped with a P500,000 fine and a six-month suspension of accreditation include Iconic Dealership, BGC, Taguig City; and Rizal Autozone, B.F. Homes, Parañaque City. Meanwhile, some of those whose accreditation was revoked and placed under one-year blacklisting included: Wheeltek, San Isidro, Makati; Power Racer-San Miguel, Bulacan; Motoxpress, Talon Uno; Honda Motor Sports, Olympia, Makati; and Rizal Autozone, Double Tree. According to the top LTO official, the action would not end with issuing SCOs to hold accredited dealers accountable for failing to meet their obligations. “We will not allow their negligence to continue causing inconvenience and hardship to our motorists,” Lacanilao said. “Dealers who persistently fail to comply with LTO regulations will face heavier penalties, including the suspension of their operations,” he vowed.
