We are thrilled to announce that @VestiOfficial will be offering an all expense paid trip to the Maldives this summer, to the phenomenal @Hildabaci of @myfoodbyhilda on her daring and record breaking attempt at the #Guinness world record at 27years for the longest number of 
hours a chef has cooked.
We are inspired by this global feat and wish her the best as she attempts to break the record, and believe this will inspire the next generation of record breakers in Nigeria and on the African continent.

Let's examine India's attempts at military expansion in the Indian Ocean region, focusing on their relationships with the Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles, and why calls for #IndiaOut is justified. 1/23
Following President Yameen Abdul Gayyoom’s electoral defeat, the MDP administration declared an “India First” policy, signaling India's interests would take precedence over other nations' interests. #Maldives 2/23
India has been concerned about China's growing influence in the Indian Ocean, with the Belt and Road initiative, its military base in Djibouti, and its port in Gwadar. 3/23
Long Thread:
China's “Pearl of Strings" Vs Bharat's “Diamond Necklace"!
Modern day wars are not to conquer Land Parcels, but to control Trade & Economies!
#China was lucky to be given a Free Hand by #UPA govt of CONgress which literally slept over Strategic Issues.

#China increased it's presence in Indian Ocean rampantly till 2014 through its Debt Trap Diplomacy to suit it's #StringsOfPearls strategy to contain Bharat's hold in Indian Ocean.
It created a ring around Bharat through strategically placed Nations.
How was it being done?

A common refrain from anti-anonymity #Facebook apologists is that its #RealNamesPolicy promoted "civility" by making users "accountable" for their words. In this conception, snuffing out anonymous speech is key to protecting "the vulnerable" from trolls and other bad actors. 1/

1/13.📜NEW BLOG: A new blog by members of @LossandDamage explains where the phrase “mosaic of solutions” comes from and how it captures the need to mobilise action and support on all fronts (both inside & outside the @UNFCCC) to address #LossAndDamage.

2/13. The phrase “mosaic of solutions” was first used by the #Maldives —one of the nations most vulnerable to the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis— in September to capture the need to mobilise action and support on all fronts to address #LossAndDamage that is happening now.
3/13. However, in the #LossAndDamage Finance negotiations at #COP27 the term has been used by developed countries to stress the need to focus on solutions outside the @UNFCCC such as the #GlobalShield Against Climate Risk.
1/20.📜It’s day nine and the second day of the second week of #COP27 and here is our #LossAndDamage focused daily thread. Today we have seen a #PayUp4LossAndDamage action and negotiations on the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage and on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage.🧵
2/20.This morning, @anuahsa, The #Maldives Minister of Environment, #ClimateChange & Technology, spoke to youths at the @CYPavilion to stress the need for a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage including an operating entity under the financial mechanism of the @UNFCCC.
3/20. “We do need a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage. But first and foremost, we need to establish a dedicated funding facility under the @UNFCCC system, where all parties have equal equitable access, and predictable access, to #LossAndDamage finance.” @anuahsa
1/4.“We do need a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage. But first and foremost, we need to establish a dedicated funding facility under the @UNFCCC system, where all parties have equal equitable access, and predictable access, to #LossAndDamage finance.”@anuahsa #COP27
2/4. "Secondly we need to be able to address the slow-onset impacts of #ClimateChange. And Thirdly we need to be able to capture what is happening outside [the @UNFCCC] and bring it into this process, for example, what's happening with the NDBs and IFIs."
3/4. "And to start thinking of innovative ways to start funding #LossAndDamage, because we know that funding for #LossAndDamage does not need to come only from public sources, but it also needs to come from the private sector and #Philanthropies."
1/28.📜NEW BRIEF: Today we launch “THE COST OF DELAY: Why finance to address #LossAndDamage must be agreed at #COP27”, which makes it clear why a #LossAndDamage Finance Facility must be established at #COP27 in #Egypt. 🧵
🔗Get it here: lossanddamagecollaboration.org/publication/co…
🔗Get it here: lossanddamagecollaboration.org/publication/co…
2/28. The brief begins with messages from The Prime Minister of Barbados @miaamormottley, Mary Robinson Chair of @TheElders, and @MohamedNasheed; Former president of the #Maldives and @TheCVF ambassador for ambition, on why there can be no further delay on #LossAndDamage finance.
3/28.The first chapter “As Wealthy Countries Delay” starts by highlighting that #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange is not a future reality, but something happening right now caused by developed country emissions for which communities in developing countries are bearing the costs.
Now in #UNGA, vote to join UN "Human Rights" Council on which China & #Cameroon sit. Only 2 competitions: LatAm & Caribbean: #Chile, #CostaRica & #Venezuela (3 for 2 seats); Asia: #Afghanistan, #Bangladesh, #Kyrgyzstan, #Maldives, #Korea, #Vietnam (6 for 4 seats)
Already, it is exposed that candidates are handing out gifts (bribes) at the doorway of #UNGA. The UN is ever more corrupt under @antonioguterres - Inner City Press used to live stream this bribery, until Guterres had it thrown out pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
It's Singapore, asking @UN_PGA @Csaba_Korosi_ to do his job and stop the bribery in #UNGA. Doubt he will - he has adopted @antonioguterres' censorship of Press, so why not this? Now, after gifts given, Korosi says he's shocked, like in Casablanca
The procedure for Belarus' accession to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (#SCO) will be launched at the organization's summit in #Samarkand. This was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

The signing of a memorandum on Iran's obligations in order to obtain the status of a SCO member state is expected as well. This will allow #Tehran to join the founding documents and international treaties of the organization.

The "Integrated country strategy" with #SriLanka will likely be our template for #BharatVarsh as a union of #Indic civilization.
Interesting to note that instead of imposing ourselves we've let the #SriLanka govt outline the details of the integration process on their terms.

2/14. Somaliland brings a lot to the table. S/land’s strategic location in the Horn of Africa will give Taiwan a gateway into East Africa and beyond. Landlocked countries in Africa can benefit from this diplomatic move such as Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Uganda.
3/14. S/land will give Taiwan an important access to the Gulf of Berbera (Gulf Aden) where access to the Middle East, North Africa and the rest of the world can be established which will boost Taiwan’s export opportunities as well as a chance to make new friends in the region.

While booking an island resort, the major decisions you need to look at from cost angle is
1. Resort transfer from Male Airport ( Speed boat , Domestic flight , Sea Plane )
2. All-inclusive Package
3. Water-Villa or Beach Villa

So the nation with more #Covid19 cases than any other based on population is highly vaccinated #Seychelles at more than 20% infected.
