With the economic and technological development in India, there is a growing trend of young people entering the IT industry due to its promising prospects. The influence of iconic figures in the industry such as Indian-American CEOs of tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and IBM is also inspiring more students to pursue IT-related fields. Despite having 8.57 million STEM students in Indian universities, which is 16 times more than Japan, intense competition and limited job opportunities in the Indian IT market are leading to a high unemployment rate of 29% among university graduates. To address the shortage of IT talent, Japanese companies are setting up offices in India, partnering with universities to recruit engineering graduates for opportunities in Japan, where even fresh Indian graduates can earn high annual salaries in millions of Japanese yen. The efforts aim to create a win-win situation by supporting Japanese companies' talent needs and providing Indian students with desired job opportunities.

On June 12, 2024, at 8:17 AM, the leader of the Republican Party, Westodi, stated, 'I am taking responsibility in a time of extreme danger for the country, as France is facing threats from the shameless traitor union.' This proposal of cooperation with the far-right National Alliance by Westodi has shocked France by crossing the political spectrum and dismantling the 40-year-old 'line of defense' against the far-right. The Republican Party's deputy leader and spokesperson, Kariane, justified this shift by stating the importance of aligning with the National Alliance, the primary opposition party, as indicated by historic election results and anti-Macron sentiments. This move has sparked intense criticism and internal dissent within the party, with members calling Westodi a traitor and threatening to expel him. As Macron announced early parliamentary elections, various parties are adopting different strategies to secure victory, with the far-right National Alliance gaining significant support in polls compared to Macron's Renaissance Party, leading to alliances forming across the political spectrum.
