Russia-China Extend Friendship and Cooperation

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday, 29th June, announced the extension of a 20-year-old friendship and cooperation treaty between their countries.

Speaking to Xi via video conference, Putin said the Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship, signed in 2001, enshrined the two powers' support for defending national unity and territorial integrity, at a time when both Moscow and Beijing are at odds with Western countries on a wide range of issues. "In today's world, such agreements are of serious importance," the Kremlin cited Putin as saying. "In the context of increasing geopolitical turbulence, the dismantlement of arms control agreements and increased potential for conflict in different corners of the world, Russian-Chinese coordination plays a stabilising role in world affairs." Both nations on their own lack the capabilities to challenge America’s global position as a result they try to challenge the US in their regions, by pooling their resources they could challenge America’s global dominance. But to achieve this their relationship needs to move further then energy, trade, military training and to calling for a new global system. As both do not posses an ideology they are unable to attract other nations and have no real alternative to offer the world. Despite President Trump burning his relations with allies, both China and Russia individually and combined were unable to win over the world’s most influential nations.

Zionists Open Embassy in UAE

The Zionist entity’s new foreign minister inaugurated its embassy in the United Arab Emirates on and offered an olive branch to other former adversaries, saying: "We're here to stay." Yair Lapid's two-day visit is the first to the Gulf state by the Jewish entity’s cabinet minister since the countries established ties last year. "Israel wants peace with its neighbours - with all its neighbours. We aren't going anywhere. The Middle East is our home. We're here to stay. We call on all the countries of the region to recognise that and to come to talk to us.” Lapid said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Abu Dhabi high-rise office serving as a temporary embassy. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, welcoming Lapid's visit, he said Washington “will continue to work with Israel and the UAE as we strengthen all aspects of our partnerships and work to create a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous future for all the peoples of the Middle East.”
