Shanghai

India delivered a standout performance at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai, capturing three medals across the compound events—a gold in the men’s team category, a silver in the women’s team event, and a bronze in the mixed team competition. The men’s trio clinched victory over Mexico in a high-intensity final, while the women’s team and the mixed duo demonstrated remarkable competitiveness on the global stage. These achievements not only reflect India’s growing prowess in compound archery but also fuel optimism ahead of the sport’s Olympic debut in Los Angeles 2028.

During a rare visit to the New Development Bank (NDB) headquarters in Shanghai, Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored the importance of enhancing the bank’s management, operations, and global reach, particularly focusing on green finance and technology. Xi emphasized the bank’s pivotal role in supporting developing countries and bridging the digital divide while pushing for reforms in the international financial architecture. His comments reflect China’s ongoing commitment to multilateralism and sustainable development as the NDB enters its second decade of high-quality growth.
