India's foreign minister defended the country's ties with North Korea and Iran during talks on Wednesday while the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson aimed to build robust relations between the two giant democracies.

The Trump administration has launched a new US effort to increase military and economic ties with India.

In talks with Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/laremy-tunsil-jersey/]Laremy Tunsil Jersey[/url] , both sides pledged to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation and Tillerson said Washington stood ready to provide India with advanced military technology.

"The US supports India's emergence as a leading power and will continue to contribute to Indian capabilities to provide security throughout the region," Tillerson told a news conference with Swaraj.

But the talks also touched on India's diplomatic ties with North Korea, Swaraj pointed out, at a time when the US has stepped up efforts to isolate Pyongyang over its nuclear and missile programs.

Swaraj said she told the top US diplomat that some level of diplomatic presence was necessary to keep open channels of communication.

"As far as the question of embassy goes, our embassy there is very small [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/raekwon-mcmillan-jersey/]Raekwon McMillan Jersey[/url] , but there is in fact an embassy," she said.

"I told Secretary Tillerson that some of their friendly countries should maintain embassies there so that some channels of communication are kept open."

India and North Korea maintain diplomatic offices in each other's capitals, though New Delhi recently banned trade of most goods with the country, except food and medicine. Trade was minimal, Swaraj said.

India [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/jason-sanders-jersey/]Jason Sanders Jersey[/url] , a former leading light of the Non-Aligned Movement and which was on the opposite side of the US during the Cold War, still remains wary of any alliances with major powers lest it affect its autonomy.

India has also maintained ties with Iran which is being targeted by the Trump administration for its alleged military support of extremist groups in the Middle East and for its ballistic missile program.

India has long sourced its oil from Iran, but in recent years the two sides have been also collaborating on key infrastructure projects.

New Delhi is pushing hard for the development of Chabahar port on the Iranian coast as a hub for its trade links to the resource-rich countries of central Asia and Afghanistan but the Trump administration's tough stance has raised new concerns over the future of that project.

But Tillerson struck a conciliatory stance on India's ties with Iran, saying it wouldn't come in the way of countries doing legitimate business there.

"It is not our objective to harm the Iranian people nor is it our objective to interfere with legitimate business activities that are going on with other businesses, whether they be from Europe [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/jerome-baker-jersey/]Jerome Baker Jersey[/url] , India or agreements that are in place or promote economic development and activity to the benefit of our friends and allies," he said.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Men are more likely to die if they receive blood transfusions from a woman who has been pregnant, a new study suggested Tuesday.

The increased risk of death, however [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/mike-gesicki-jersey/]Mike Gesicki Jersey[/url] , was not seen in female recipients, according to the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

"The association of increased mortality among male patients who received transfusions from ever-pregnant donors suggests a possible mechanism based on immunologic changes occurring during pregnancy," Rutger Middelburg from Sanquin Research in the Netherlands and his colleagues wrote.

But they noted that further research is needed to "replicate these findings, determine their clinical significance, and identify the underlying mechanism."

The study included over 31 [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/kenny-stills-jersey/]Kenny Stills Jersey[/url] ,000 patients who received blood transfusions at six major Dutch hospitals between 2005 and 2015.

Nearly 4,000 people, or 13 percent, died during the study period.

It found that male recipients who received a transfusion from an ever-pregnant female donor had "a statistically significant increase" in mortality compared with those who received a transfusion from a male donor or from a female donor without a history of pregnancy.

There was, however [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/ryan-tannehill-jersey/]Ryan Tannehill Jersey[/url] , no significant association between pregnancy status of female blood donors and mortality among female recipients of blood transfusions.

Kevin McConway, professor at the Open University in Britain, who was not involved in the study, pointed out that the increase in mortality in men is "not huge."

"It's important not to read too much into this study, and I don't think there is yet any real cause for men to be particularly concerned about this issue if they need a blood transplant [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/cameron-wake-jersey/]Cameron Wake Jersey[/url] ," McConway said.

"At least, I'm a man, and I wouldn't be concerned," he said.

CARACAS [url=http://www.cheapnfldolphinsjerseys.com/reshad-jones-jersey/]Reshad Jones Jersey[/url] , Venezuela - A journalist close to Diego Maradona says the retired soccer star has told him he plans to run for president of FIFA.

Journalist Victor Hugo Morales says on Twitter that the Argentine soccer legend has confirmed he's a candidate.

Morales hosts a show on the regional network Telesur.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced this month that he would be stepping down - four days after being elected for a fifth, four-year presidential term - amid a U.S. probe into $150 million in bribes allegedly paid to top soccer officials.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro immediately called for Maradona to replace him.

Maradona has been a high-profile supporter of Venezuela's socialist government and a sharp critic of corruption in soccer.
