  • 27 Feb 2010 - - Los Angeles Times - Attack in Kabul points to shifting Taliban tactics IISS Logo"It prolongs developments, adds to the chaos and brings more publicity," said Rahul Roy-Chaudhury, senior researcher at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. "With a suicide attack, you blow yourself up, that's it. This has much more impact."
  • 25 Feb 2010 - - Financial Times - Navy chief cautions defence planners Sir Mark StanhopeThe head of the Royal Navy argued last night that British defence planners must prepare the country for a wide range of military operations in future, predicting the UK might find itself fighting conventional state-on-state conflicts as well as complex operations such as the one in Afghanistan.
  • 25 Feb 2010 - - Guardian - Navy sails into battle over future of forces Sir Mark StanhopeThe head of the navy tonight stoked up an increasingly intense debate about the future shape of Britain's armed forces, defiantly rejecting claims that the age of large fleets and aircraft carriers is over. In an unashamed defence of the navy against thinly disguised criticism from the army in particular, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope said that when crises erupted maritime forces were usually the first to arrive and the last to leave.
  • 25 Feb 2010 - - Times - US refuses to endorse British sovereignty in Falklands oil dispute Sir Mark StanhopeBritain has boosted the islands’ defences since the conflict, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, the First Sea Lord, said last night. “We have built a massive runway. We have emplaced forces on the ground, we have sophisticated early warning systems. It is a different package. To compare the way we dealt with the issues in 1982 with today is nonsense,” he said.
  • 24 Feb 2010 - - Washinigton Post - Hopes for India-Pakistan peace talks are modest Nirupama Rao, Foreign Secretary, India delivers the Keynote Address on ‘Perspectives on Foreign Policy for a 21st Century India’ at the 3rd IISS-Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Dialogue.Indian officials said the agenda will focus on terrorism, although they are leaving the door open to more extensive discussions. "We hope we can build, in a graduated manner, better communication and a serious and responsive dialogue to address issues of concern between our two countries," Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said Monday in London.
  • 24 Feb 2010 - - The Hindu - No progress if India adopts narrow agenda: Qureshi Nirupama Rao, Foreign Secretary, India delivers the Keynote Address on ‘Perspectives on Foreign Policy for a 21st Century India’ at the 3rd IISS-Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Dialogue.Pakistan wanted “a meaningful dialogue” with India on a broad range of bilateral issues “that are of concern to both sides,” including Kashmir, said Mr. Qureshi, who is here on a five-day official visit. Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao indicated on Monday that the talks would mostly be restricted to India’s “core concerns” over cross-border terrorism.
  • 24 Feb 2010 - - New York Times - Gates Calls European Mood a Danger to Peace IISS LogoDana Allin, a senior fellow with the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London, called Mr. Gates’s remarks “very striking.” “Whether this is a conscious statement to sound a real sharp warning, there’s no question that the frustration among the American military establishment is palpable regarding coalition operations in Afghanistan,” he said.
  • 24 Feb 2010 - - Figaro - Reprise du dialogue indo-pakistanais dans la cacophonie Nirupama Rao, Foreign Secretary, India delivers the Keynote Address on ‘Perspectives on Foreign Policy for a 21st Century India’ at the 3rd IISS-Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Dialogue.« Nous avons plusieurs fois, par le passé, pris des initiatives pour améliorer les relations (indo-pakistanaises)... Nous faisons maintenant une autre tentative pour reprendre le dialogue avec le Pakistan, a plaidé lundi Nirupama Rao, lors d'une conférence à l'International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS), à Londres. Malgré cela, les appels au djihad, l'hostilité et l'agression contre l'Inde continuent ouvertement (au Pakistan). Cela montre à quel point il nous est difficile de traiter avec Islamabad.
