Armenia’s pro‑West Party Secures Victory Amid Russian Pressure

Peru's presidential election is being fought over security and stability rather than economic policy. Bus driver Toño was attacked by extortionists demanding $15,000, highlighting the country's worsening insecurity. With nearly 30,000 extortion cases reported in 2025, crime has become the top concern for voters. Keiko Fujimori, running for a fourth time, promises a military crackdown on organized crime, while left-wing Roberto Sánchez pledges state expansion and higher public spending. Despite economic stability, Peru's political volatility and eight presidents in ten years have left voters frustrated, particularly the youth who feel neither candidate can deliver real change.

Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to North Korea marks a significant diplomatic engagement between two nations with a complex relationship. While often described as 'forged in blood' due to their shared history, China and North Korea are navigating a new phase of strategic cooperation. China seeks stability on its border and influence over Pyongyang without being drawn into crises triggered by North Korea's nuclear ambitions. The visit comes at a time when North Korea is strengthening its military ties with Russia, prompting Beijing to reassert its sway over the unpredictable ally. Analysts suggest Xi may use the visit to position China as a mediator between North Korea and the United States while also keeping North Korea in check against Russia's growing influence in the region.
