Abstract:India and Bhutan discussed ways to harness the potential of waterways for the progress of both nations
Guwahati:
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday held a one-on-one dialogue with a team from Bhutan led by the Himalayan nation's Economic Affairs Minister Lyonpo Loknath Sharma on the sidelines of the Waterways Conclave in Assam's Dibrugarh.
Discussing ways to harness the potential of waterways for the progress of Bhutan and India, especially the north-east region, the Union Minister said the NW 2 (Brahmaputra river) connectivity can be leveraged by both countries for improved economic ties.
Highlighting the traditional bonds of friendship between India and Bhutan, Mr Sonowal said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary “Act East” policy added momentum to trade and socio-cultural movement between the two nations.
On the huge opportunities offered by the MMLP in Jogighopa and the gateway in Dhubri, the Union Minister said India's advantage in providing infra support and low-cost logistics can bring a new era of development for the neighbouring country.

The year 2026 is expected to be a period of high volatility in the forex market, which from an astrological perspective is viewed as an opportunity for traders who maintain discipline and manage risk effectively. Four zodiac signs stand out in terms of financial prospects: Cancer, which is well suited for long-term trading; Aries, which favors short-term trading but requires strong emotional control; Taurus, which shows strength in generating supplementary income within the trading industry; and Libra, which is best aligned with systematic, rule-based trading. However, astrology serves only as a psychological support tool. True success in trading ultimately depends on a trader’s planning, discipline, and risk management rather than luck alone.

Acting as an intermediary between traders and brokerage firms, Introducing Brokers (IBs) can be both a company and an individual. They do not have a role in trade execution or account management. Their role is to offer advice and let clients open trading accounts and trade on the platform. In this article, we have discussed the meaning of the term 'introducing broker,' its role, payment structure, and other related aspects. Read on!

Despite frequent “de-dollarization” headlines, the U.S. dollar remains unrivaled due to unmatched market depth, global usability, and trusted legal/institutional frameworks. Crypto and other currencies (euro, yuan) lack the stability, convertibility, and infrastructure required to replace the USD, while the Fed’s credibility and the scale of U.S. financial markets continue to anchor demand. Bottom line: no alternative currently offers a complete, credible substitute for the dollar’s global role.
