1 .Men's Asia Cup Hockey : India has clinched their fourth Men's Asia Cup Hockey title, defeating South Korea with a final score of 4-1.

The victory not only secured their place as champions but also earned them a direct qualification for the FIH World Cup 2026.

This win adds to India's previous titles in 2003, 2007, and 2017, solidifying their position as a powerhouse in Asian hockey.

2 .World Trade Organization (WTO): is a crucial intergovernmental body that was established on January 1, 1995, as the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Its central mission is to regulate and facilitate international trade, ensuring that it operates as smoothly, predictably, and freely as possible.

The WTO achieves this through a multi-faceted approach, including administering global trade agreements, providing a forum for member nations to negotiate new trade rules, and overseeing a formal dispute settlement process to resolve trade conflicts.

Additionally, the organization monitors national trade policies and offers technical assistance to developing countries to help them integrate into the global trading system.

Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the WTO currently comprises 166 members, representing the vast majority of global commerce, and its decisions are typically made by consensus among its members.

3 .Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a nation of remarkable cultural and biological diversity located in the southwestern Pacific, occupying the eastern half of the world's second-largest island, New Guinea.

It is the most linguistically diverse country on Earth, with over 800 indigenous languages, and its official languages are English, Tok Pisin, and Hiri Motu. The capital city is Port Moresby.

A constitutional monarchy with King Charles III as head of state, PNG gained independence from Australia on September 16, 1975. Its economy is largely resource-based, relying on exports like gold, copper, oil, and natural gas, while most of its population lives in rural areas practicing subsistence agriculture.

The country is also known for its challenging terrain, which includes highland valleys, active volcanoes, and rainforests that are home to 5% of the world's biodiversity, including unique species such as birds of paradise and tree kangaroos.

4 .Mauritius is a multicultural island nation located in the Indian Ocean, approximately 2,000 kilometers off the southeast coast of Africa. Originally uninhabited,

it was colonized successively by the Dutch, French, and British before gaining independence on March 12, 1968.

The country is renowned for its remarkable ethnic and religious diversity, with a population comprising Indo-Mauritians, Creoles, Sino-Mauritians, and Franco-Mauritians, and where Hinduism is the majority religion.

Its economy has successfully transformed from a sugar-dependent monoculture into a diversified, upper-middle-income economy based on tourism, textiles, and financial services. Port Louis is its capital and largest city.

Mauritius is also famously the former home of the now-extinct dodo bird and is surrounded by coral reefs, featuring stunning beaches and a tropical climate.
