Denmark is siding with the United States in the dispute with its fellow EU member France over a major Indo-Pacific defence deal.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that she wants to warn against turning “concrete challenges, which will always exist between allies, into something they should not be."
France has reacted strongly to the deal between the U.S., Britain and Australia. As part of it, Australia will cancel a multibillion-dollar contract to buy diesel-electric French submarines and acquire U.S. nuclear-powered vessels instead.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
