<h1>Eurasian government orders increased agricultural and medicine purchases to correct crude-driven trade imbalance; diplomatic row over rights forum allegations</h1> A major Eurasian state ordered its government to adopt trade measures, including increased purchases of agricultural goods and medicines from a South Asian state, to address a crude-driven trade imbalance, raising potential contract, tariff and procurement-law implications. The South Asian state accused a neighboring state of misleading an international human-rights forum over alleged systemic persecution, presenting possible diplomatic and accountability consequences. Other developments include fatal overseas road accidents involving nationals, government negotiations with protesters in a disputed territory, sharp trade-deficit data for another state, official condemnations of post-attack protests, a historic ecclesiastical appointment, and a unilateral deadline set by a Western leader for a militant group.
