The US-India relationship
Details: Plan to assassinate Sikh leaders in US came from Indian intelligence
The US Department of Justice announced at the end of last year that they foiled an Indian assassination plot on the Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who lives in exile in New York. According to the Washington Post, at least one officer of the Indian intelligence agency RAW was involved in the plans.
The officer, Vikram Yadav, relayed information such as Pannun's address to the hired killer and instructed him to carry out the deed as soon as Pannun was home.
According to the newspaper's information, the US government and the intelligence service assess that the plan was also given the green light by RAW's top commander. That India was ready to assassinate an American citizen in the United States must have "shocked" American officials.
The assassination plan could be thwarted before it was realized.

The EU-China relationship
Xi Jinping to Europe in May – first visit in five years
Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit France, Serbia and Hungary in early May, writes Reuters. The trip will be Xi's first visit to Europe in five years and the aim is to improve Sino-European relations.
France in particular is one of the countries with which China has maintained the best relations, even if the relationship soured somewhat since France supported an EU decision to review electric car imports from China. Beijing has responded by reviewing its imports of cognac, which is believed to be aimed at France.
