一 |     Canberra, Oct 10 (UNI) External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Senator Penny Wong on Monday held dialogue and agreed to work closely in Quad, trilaterals, G20, UN and other important forums.
"Just concluded the 13th Foreign Ministers’ Framework Dialogue with my Australian colleague FM Senator Wong. Took stock of the steady progress of our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, including important Ministerial visits in recent months," the External Affairs Minister wrote on Twitter.
"Discussed ECTA progress; defence; counter terrorism; mobility of talent & skills, education; double taxation avoidance; critical minerals; cyber; clean energy and SDGs," the EAM added in thread.
"Exchanged views on global and regional developments, recognizing our strong convergences and shared interests... Agreed to work closely together in Quad, trilaterals, G20, UN and other important forums," Jaishankar added.
"Australia and India are Comprehensive Strategic Partners, we are Quad partners and most fundamentally, we share the Indo-Pacific region. We have a shared interest and a shared ambition in a stable and prosperous region where sovereignty is respected," Australian Foreign Minister said in a statement.
For Australia, our partnership with India is a critical part of shaping the region we want, Wong added.
The two ministers discussed accelerating and deepening economic ties, including through our Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement.
"We also discussed strengthening our people to people ties and education links, reinforcing our defence and security cooperation and enhancing our climate change and new clean energy engagement, including through the Quad," Wong added.
The two ministers agreed to expand diplomatic footprints, with Australia recommitting to open a Consulate-General in Bengaluru, and India planning an additional consulate in Australia.
I look forward to our continued engagement as we build and sustain our partnership and region, the Australian Foreign Minister concluded.
UNI ASU ING。    Shares of Dollar General are up more than 7% before the opening bell Friday after the discount chain said Todd Vasos will be returning as CEO after a streak of disappointing quarterly profits.The company has missed Wall Street profit projections in four of the five past quarters and shares have fallen nearly 60% this year. The company has also wrestled with a number of labor issues. In July a National Labor Relations Board judge said that Dollar General violated federal labor law and “clearly intended to interfere” with worker rights in efforts to quell unionization at a Connecticut store.Violations from the Dolgen Corp., which operates Dollar General stores, included wrongfully firing an employee and making an implied threat to close the location in Barkhamsted, the NLRB decision read — adding that the company also sent corporate officials to the store and other locations across Connecticut in response to a 2021 union drive.Beyond unionization, Dollar General has faced multiple penalties for store safety over the years — including federal citations for electrical hazards and obstructed fire exits. As of May, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration had proposed more than $21 million in penalties since 2017 after conducting 240 store inspections nationwide.Vasos stepped down as Dollar General’s top executive in 2022 after seven years. He takes over from Jeff Owen.Under Vasos' leadership, Dollar General expanded its store base by about 7,000 locations, added nearly 60,000 net new jobs, increased annual sales revenue by more than 80%, and more than doubled its market capitalization to approximately $58 billion. "At this time the board has determined that a change in leadership is necessary to restore stability and confidence in the company moving forward,” the company's chairman, Michael Calbert, said in a prepared statement.While saying the switch back to Vasos is not surprising, Citi analyst Paul Lejuez said many of the issues beguiling the company took root under his control. “While many of the issues surfaced shortly after Owen took over the CEO role, we believe many of these challenges had their origins while Vasos was CEO,” said in report published shortly after the leadership change was announced. “We do not believe there is a simple fix.” Dollar General, based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, expects 2023 net sales growth in a range of 1.5% to 2.5%. Its prior outlook was for sales growth between 1.3% and 3.3%.。
