The Chabahar port in the Sistan-Balochistan province in the energy-rich nation's southern coast is easily accessible from India's western coast and is increasingly seen as a counter to Pakistan's Gwadar port located at distance of around 80 km from Chabahar.2. The Chabahar port is being considered as a gateway to golden opportunities for trade by India, Iran, and Afghanistan with central Asian countries, besides ramping up trade among the three countries in the wake of Pakistan denying transit access to New Delhi.The Chabahar port in the Sistan-Balochistan province is easily accessible from India's western coast and is increasingly seen as a counter to Pakistan's Gwadar port located at a distance of around 80 km from Chabahar.3. Integrated development of connectivity infrastructure including ports, road, and rail networks would open up greater opportunities for regional market access and contribute towards the economic integration and benefit of the three countries and the region.4. The Chabahar port is also seen as a feeder port to the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) that has sea, rail and road routes between India, Russia, Iran, Europe, and Central Asia.5. With Chabahar port becoming functional, there will be a significant boost in the import of iron ore, sugar, and rice to India.Timeline of Chabahar port deal1. India started interacting with Iran on Chabahar port around 2003 but a major push was received in the second half of 2014, resulting in the signing of a MoU between the two countries for the development of Chabahar Port in May 2015.2. This MoU translated into a formal 10-year contract for equipping and operating the Chabahar port, which was executed on May 23, 2016, during prime minister Narendra Modi's visit to Tehran.3. Since there were challenges in the activation of the said contract, the foundation of an interim period contract was laid during the visit of Hassan Rouhani in February 2018.4. Resultantly, a formal short-term contract between the two sides was signed on May 6, 2018.More about Chabahar portChabahar port is a seaport in Chahbahar in South-Eastern Iran.

This is the timeline of the English, later British colonisation of the Falklands Islands. They were never forced off or gave up sovereignty they had to withdraw troops to fight the French and Spanish.1592 First recorded sighting on August 14, by English sea captain John Davis in the ship ‘Desire’.1594 First recorded claim on February 2, by Richard Hawkins for Queen Elizabeth I1690 First recorded landing made by English navigator, Captain John Strong in his ship the ‘Welfare’. He named the channel dividing the two main islands ‘Falkland Sound’ after Viscount Falkland, then Treasurer of the Royal Navy.Over the years several French ships visited the Islands, which they called Les Iles Malouines after the French port of St. Malo.1740 Lord Anson passed the Islands on an exploration voyage and urged Britain to consider them as a preliminary step to establishing a base near Cape Horn.1764 The French diplomat and explorer, Louis Antoine de Bougainville, established a settlement at Port Louis on East Falkland.1765 Unaware of the French settlement, Commodore John Byron landed at Port Egmont on West Falkland and took possession of the Islands for the British Crown.1766 Captain John MacBride established a British settlement at Port Egmont.The Spanish Government protested about the French settlement and Bougainville was forced to surrender his interests in the Islands in return for an agreed sum of money. A Spanish Governor was appointed and Port Louis was renamed Puerto de la Soledad, and placed under the jurisdiction of the Captain-General of Buenos Aires; then a Spanish colony.1770 British forced from Port Egmont by the Spanish.1771 Serious diplomatic negotiations involving Britain, Spain and France produce the Exchange of Declarations, whereby Port Egmont was restored to Britain.1774 Britain withdrew from Port Egmont on economic grounds as part of a redeployment of forces due to the approaching American War of Independence, leaving behind a plaque as the mark of continuing British sovereignty.1786 Lieutenant Thomas Edgar RN charts West Falkland island.1811 The Spanish garrison withdrew from Puerto de la Soledad. At this time, South American colonies were in a state of revolt against Spain.1816 The provinces which constituted the old Spanish vice-royalty declared independence from Spain as the United Provinces of the River Plate. Spain refused to recognise any such independence.1820 A Buenos Aires privateer claimed the Falkland Islands in what was probably an unauthorised act – which was never reported to the Buenos Aires government. No occupation followed this.1823 A private attempt was made to establish a settlement on the Islands, but this failed after a few months. The organisers requested the Buenos Aires government to appoint one of their employees the unpaid ‘Commander’ of the settlement.1825 Britain and the Government of Buenos Aires signed a Treaty of Amity, Trade and Navigation without including a recognition of territory or legal rights.1826 Louis Vernet, a naturalised citizen of Buenos Aires (originally French with German connections), undertook a private venture and established a new settlement at Puerto de la Soledad, having first informed the British Consul.1829 Buenos Aires announced a claim to the Falkland Islands based on inheritance from Spain. Luis Vernet was appointed unpaid Commander of Soledad and Tierra del Fuego. Britain registered a formal protest, asserting her own sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.Vernet made the first of several approaches to Britain then to re-assert its sovereignty over the Islands. Earlier he had got the British Consul in Buenos Aires to countersign his land grants.1831 Vernet seized three American sealing ships, in an attempt to control fishing in Falkland waters. In retaliation, the US sloop ‘Lexington’ destroyed Puerto de la Soledad, and proclaimed the Islands ‘free of all government’. Most of the settlers were persuaded to leave on board the ‘Lexington’.1832 Diplomatic relations between the US and Argentina broke down until 1844. Supporting Britain, the US questioned the claim that all Spanish possessions had been transferred to the Government of Buenos Aires and confirmed its use of the Falklands as a fishing base for over 50 years. The US declared that Spain had exercised no sovereignty over several coasts to which Buenos Aires claimed to be heir, including Patagonia.Buenos Aires appointed an interim Commander to the Islands, Commander Mestivier, who arrived in October (with a tiny garrison and some convicts). Britain’s Minister protested once more.December 20, Commander Onslow, aboard Clio, returned to Port Egmont and rebuilds the fort.1833 Commander Mestivier had been murdered by his own men by the time Captain Onslow sailed from Port Egmont in the warship ‘Clio’ and took command of Port Louis for Britain. The remains of the garrison from Buenos Aires left peacefully.Buenos Aires protested, only to be told: “The British Government upon this occasion has only exercised its full and undoubted right … The British Government at one time thought it inexpedient to maintain any Garrison in those Islands: It has now altered its views, and has deemed it proper to establish a Post there.”Since this time, British administration has remained unbroken apart from a ten week Argentine occupation in 1982.1845 Stanley officially became the capital of the Islands when Governor Moody moved the administration from Port Louis. The capital was so named after the Colonial Secretary of the day, Edward Geoffrey Smith Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby.1914 Battle of the Falkland Islands, one of the major naval engagements of the First World War in which British victory secured the Cape Horn passage for the remainder of the war.1947 The Falkland Islands are listed at the United Nations as a Non-Self Governing Territory (NSGT) subject to the UN’s decolonisation process.1960 UN Resolution 1514 grants the right of Self-Determination to all peoples of NSGTs.1965 United Nations Assembly passed Resolution 2065, following lobbying by Argentina. This reminded members of the organisation’s pledge to end all forms of colonialism. Argentine and British Governments were called upon to negotiate a peaceful solution to the sovereignty dispute, bringing the issue to international attention formally for the first time.1966 Through diplomatic channels, Britain and Argentina began discussions in response to UN Assembly pressure.1967 The Falkland Islands Emergency Committee was set up by influential supporters in the UK to lobby the British Government against any weakening on the sovereignty issue. In April, the Foreign Secretary assured the House of Commons that the Islanders’ interests were paramount in any discussions with Argentina.1971 Communications Agreement was signed by the British and Argentine governments whereby external communications would be provided to the Falkland Islands by Argentina.1982 On 2 April Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands and diplomatic relations between the two nations were broken off. Argentine troops occupied the Islands for ten weeks before being defeated by the British. The Argentines surrendered on 14 June, now known as Liberation Day.1990 Diplomatic relations between Britain and Argentina were restored.1999 At the instigation of, and with the involvement of, Falkland Islands Councillors, a Joint Statement was signed between the British and Argentine Governments on 14 July. This was designed ‘to build confidence and reduce tension’ between the Islands and Argentina. Two Councillors from the Islands witnessed the signing on behalf of the Falkland Islands Government.2009 Following almost ten years of discussion and negotiation, a new Constitution for the Falkland Islands took effect on 1 January 2009. Marking an important milestone in the history of the Falkland Islands, the new Constitution provides enhanced local democracy and internal self-government, and enshrines the right of self-determination.2013 Referendum held in March, overseen by international observers. Falkland Islanders voted to determine their future, 99.8% of the electorate voted YES to maintaining current political status as a British Overseas Territory.There is also a doctrine accepted by the UN that when a country wages war the victors gain control of the disputed territories so after the unlawful invasion in 1982 you confirmed your lack of sovereignty over the Islands

Well, I find that many of comments are satirical about North Korea. Indeed, North Korea is a bad country, but Confucius said that there is something worth learning from every three people. I am not satirical about North Korea. Now the pneumonia epidemic is spreading all over the world and many people suffer. I hope we can learn from other countries Learn somethingIt's true that North Korea is a sad place. It's terrible, but even the worst people have something to learn from. At this difficult time, we need to learn moreI'm not criticizing people who laugh at North Korea. I'm not defending North Korea. I just hope we can save more livesThe epidemic prevention model of North Korea is under the leadership of the labor party, ultra strict border management, forced isolation and mass mobilization. On February 29, the Korean labor party held an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and decided to implement "national super special level" epidemic prevention measures. Jin Zhengen said that the urgent task is to amend and supplement the national emergency epidemic prevention law, strictly reorganize the national crisis management provisions, and take "pre emptive and high-intensity epidemic prevention measures" against the current situation of the epidemic. Jin also stressed that "the cabinet and the central emergency epidemic prevention headquarters should, in accordance with the sound working system and discipline, completely block all channels and gaps that infectious diseases may enter through, and strengthen the inspection and quarantine work for epidemic prevention and control."North Korean quarantine personnel are disinfecting busesNorth Korea, which has closed its borders to all foreign tourists since January 22, is the first country in the world to do so. North Korea has also suspended international flights and trains, and imposed a 30 day medical quarantine on foreigners in North Korea. For North Korea, where medical and health conditions are weak, the move is intended to prevent imported cases.In terms of strengthening border management, North Korea has issued Interim Measures for disinfection of goods flowing in from abroad, provisions on quarantine and isolation at border ports and other documents, and various local departments and relevant agencies have formulated implementation plans. The frontier inspection and quarantine department has also stipulated standardized procedures, including the specifications of disinfectants, disinfection methods, provisions on protective clothing and equipment, and disinfection methods for various means of transport. In terms of forced isolation, North Korea classifies the immigrants as "high-risk groups", and those who contact with the immigrants are classified as "sub high-risk groups", who need to be isolated at home or at designated points for more than 40 days.Diplomats from all countries in Pyongyang are to be quarantined for 30 days, including civil servants, tour guides and drivers who are in close contact with them.It is reported that more than 380 foreigners have received strict medical observation due to epidemic prevention measures. Yonhap reported that in the sub high risk groups, 40 days after contact with high-risk groups, and no symptoms, the first to lift the isolation, but to continue to strictly accept medical observation. As of March 15, about 9550 people in North Korea had been isolated, including more than 2420 people in South Ping'an Road, more than 3000 people in North Ping'an Road, more than 1500 people in Jiangyuan road and more than 2630 people in cijiang road. Plus more than 380 foreigners living in Pyongyang, a total of about 10000. In addition, North Korea also considered "making sewage tanks" and other sewage treatment schemes to prevent isolated ships from discharging sewage into the Datong River and surrounding waters.In terms of mobilizing the masses, we should carry out grass-roots political and health propaganda work in Jiangyuan Road, North Huanghai Road, South Ping'an road and other places, emphasizing that the masses should be aware of the risk of infection with new crown disease, improve the awareness and tension of the epidemic situation, and at the same time, they should master the correct knowledge of health protection, actively participate in and obey the national epidemic prevention actions. Although the production and living order in North Korea has not been greatly affected, the Pyongyang marathon scheduled for April 2020 has been cancelled. North Korea has also strengthened epidemic prevention in shops, restaurants, hotels and other places with a large flow of people, and banned people from fishing in rivers.Of course, as I mentioned in my comments, North Korea's success has something to do with its narrow territory, centralized political power and easy control. But if it's just guessing that they kill patients to stop infection, I hope we can learn something from people who are better than us, rather than just stigmatizing his success————————————————————————————————————No infection!No stock market crash!whos your daddy now！
