NICE, France – Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday stressed the importance of maintaining a sound China

Xi, who is paying a state visit to France, made the remarks when meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in the southern French city of Nice.

He pointed to the special significance of his visit, which came at a special year that marks both the 70th anniversary of the foun

North Korea withdraws from DMZ joint liaison office after new US

　　North Korea is withdrawing from a joint liaison office near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) with Sout

　　South Korea’s Unification Ministry announced the move Friday, say

ing the decision had been taken by the North on “instructions from the superior authority.”

　　In its communication with the South, Pyongyang said it would not mind Seoul’s representatives “remaining in the office,” whi

Some EU states, including Germany, had given a largel

positive response to May’s well-flagged request.

But French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said May would need to make her case before EU leaders in Brussels.

“Our position is to send the British a clear and simple message. As The

resa May has repeatedly said herself, there are only two options to get out of the EU: rati

fy the Withdrawal Agreement or exit without a deal,” Le Drian told the French parliament.

May’s initiative marked the latest twist in more than two years of

negotiations that have left British politics in chaos and her authority in tatters.

After the defeats in parliament opened up the possibility of Britain leaving the EU with

out a deal, May told parliament on Wednesday that she remained committed to leaving “in an orderly manner”.
