Diplomatic Overtures and Rock Revelations: A Week of Major Events

In a pivotal diplomatic gesture, India’s leading career diplomat arrived in Bangladesh on Monday, aiming to ease the growing tensions that have followed the recent political upheaval resulting in the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hasina, whose autocratic regime was firmly backed by India, currently remains in New Delhi, complicating Bangladesh’s efforts to seek her extradition.

Meanwhile, music enthusiasts can look forward to an exhilarating performance by rock icons Guns N’ Roses at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, as part of their 2025 European and Middle East tour. Known for their electrifying live shows and anthemic hits, the band will embark on a 24-date journey spanning venues and festivals across both regions.

Fans in Abu Dhabi can anticipate a powerhouse show featuring classic tracks from their legendary albums like Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion I & II, alongside newer material.
