Two trilateral formats are testing whether European security can be settled without Europe. Washington has just mediated a round of talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, and the American, Chinese, and Russian leaders may meet in Shenzhen on November 18–19. Europe has no direct seat at either.
Kuwait and Pakistan have discussed the possible deployment of Pakistani naval forces to help defend the country against maritime attacks, a source familiar with the talks told Eagle Intelligence Reports, amid growing fears of a wider regional war and renewed threats to vital shipping routes.
