Cameron’s replacement to take over by early September
LONDON, JUN 27 (PTI): The successor to British Prime Minister David Cameron will be in place by September 2, the Conservative Party said on MondaY following the Brexit fiasco. According to the Conservative party’s 1922 Committee, consisting of senior MPs who run Tory leadership elections, nominations for the post will open on Wednesday and close on Thursday. “We... recommend that the process of electing a new leader of the Conservative Party should commence next week... and conclude no later than Friday September 2, although an earlier conclusion may be possible,” said committee chief Graham Brady. “I think the view of the party is that both we as Conservatives and the country more generally, really want certainty, we would like some resolution, and we think it would be a good thing to conclude this process as soon as we practicably can,” said Brady. “That ought to mean that we would have a new prime minister before the House of Commons returns for its September sitting,” said Brady. A list of nominees will then be whittled down to two candidates in a series of votes by Tory MPs, with the final two then voted on by Conservative members. The new party leader and PM candidate is then expected to be formally declared by September 2. Cameron, 49, who has been Britain’s Prime Minister
Cameron cautions Scotland against 2nd independence referendum
David Cameron for six years, announced his resignation at the Downing Street doorstep in his first speech following the results of last week’s referendum in favour of Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU). He had said that his successor would be in place before the Conservative party’s annual conference in the first week of October. Among those expected to enter the Tory leadership race include leading Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson, UK Home Secretary Theresa May, former defence secretary Liam Fox and Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb. It has been suggested UK Chancellor George Osborne could back Johnson in return for the promise of a frontline role in the new Cabinet. There is also speculation that a new prime minister could call a snap general election later this year, or early 2017, in order to win a personal mandate from the British public.
Pak looks for lobbyist in US after diplomatic disasters ISLAMABAD, JUN 27 (PTI): Pakistan is scouting for a new lobbyist in the US after suffering two diplomatic setbacks when America refused to subsidise an F-16 deal and openly campaigned to induct India into the NSG, a media report said on Monday. The ties between the two countries have plummeted over differences about how to deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan and allegation by the US that Pakistan failed to root out militants groups. Nadeem Hotiana, Pakistan Embassy spokesman in Washington, confirmed the country was now looking for a paid lobbyist “but has not yet taken any decision”, the Dawn reported. Earlier, Locke Lord Strategies was hired in 2008 to lobby for Pakistan but Islamabad failed to renew its contract with the firm in July 2013. The group was hired by government of Pakistan People’s Party mainly because one of its partners, Mark Siegel, was a personal friend of the late prime minister Benazir Bhutto. The embassy was paying USD 75,000 per month to this group, which is the lobbying arm of the law firm Locke Lord, but it failed to improve Pakistan’s image. Pakistan’s main expectation from the firm was to promote its interests on Capitol Hill, where it often has to face angry lawmakers every time an issue related to the country is discussed. But the firm had little
influence on the Hill. It proved equally ineffective in lobbying the US media for Pakistan. There were occasions when the embassy’s press section managed to gather more senior journalists than did the firm for official briefings and for group or individual meetings with visiting Pakistani leaders.
Cameron today cautioned Scotland against triggering a second referendum on the region’s independence from the UK after Britain voted to leave the European Union despite strong Scottish support for remaining a member of the bloc. Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been holding a flurry of meetings to weigh up her response to last week’s referendum, in which Scotland voted decisively to remain a member of the 28nation EU, in stark contrast to the UK-wide results in favour of Brexit. “The reasons for Scotland to be in the UK are as strong now as they were 18 months ago. The last thing Scotland needs now is another divisive referendum,” Cameron’s Downing Street spokesperson said. However, Sturgeon has already indicated that circumstances had significantly changed since the first independence referendum held in 2014 and that a second independence referendum was back “on the table”. Scotland voted by 62 per cent to Remain in the EU while Britain, as a whole, voted by 52 per cent to 48 per cent to leave Europe. The First Minister will make a statement to the Scottish Parliament on the outcome of the EU referendum tomorrow, which will be followed by a debate on the implications of the result for Scotland.
Turkish president apologises to Putin over Ankara’s jet
German, French Border dispute a major challenge ministers call for for Sino-India ties: China minister strong Europe
MOSCOW, JUN 27 (AFP): Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has apologised to Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over Ankara’s downing of a Russian military jet last year that shattered ties, the Kremlin said on Monday. “The head of the Turkish state in his message expressed his sympathy and deepest condolences to the family of the dead Russian pilot and said sorry,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. He added that Erdogan said he wanted to do “everything possible for the restoration of the traditionally friendly relations between Turkey and Russia.” The Kremlin then released a statement citing Erdogan as saying Ankara “never had the desire and the intention” to down the Russian jet. “I want to once again express my sympathy and deep condolences to the family of the dead Russian pilot and I say sorry,” the statement quoted Erdogan as saying. Turkey’s downing in November of the warplane on its border with Syria -- where Moscow is flying a bombing campaign in support of long-standing ally President Bashar al-Assad -- sparked an unprecedented crisis in the two nations’ relations. Ankara had argued that the Russian plane strayed into its airspace and ignored repeated warnings, but Russia insisted it did not cross the border and accused Ankara of a “planned provocation.” According to the Kremlin, Erdogan also said that authorities were probing a Turkish national allegedly responsible for the downing of the jet.
BEIJING, JUN 27 (PTI): China has said the vexed border dispute with India and some “emerging new issues” pose a “major challenge” to the development of bilateral ties. “As the two neighbouring countries, China and India have historical issues such as the border dispute and also some emerging new issues with the development of the relations between the two countries. How to deal with these issues is a major challenge for the relationship between the two countries,” Chinese Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs Li Huilai said. “The two sides have agreed to strengthen communication and dialogue, and to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution through friendly consultations, and to manage and control these issues so that the overall development of the relationship between the two countries is not affected,” he

BERLIN, JUN 27 (IANS): German and French foreign ministers raised proposals on Monday to prevent “erosion” of the European Union and improve its solidarity after Britain decided to leave the bloc in a referendum last week. “We are seeing the European Union being severely put to the test,” said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and French Foreign Minister JeanMarc Ayrault in a joint document titled “A strong Europe in a world of uncertainties.” The two ministers said the decision of the British people last week marked a watershed moment in the history of Europe and created a new situation, reported Xinhua news agency. “Neither a simple call for more Europe nor a phase of mere reflection can be an adequate answer,” the document read, “To prevent the silent creeping erosion of our European project, we have to be more focused on essentials and on meeting the concrete expectations of our citizens.”

main task that lies ahead for both China and India is to implement the consensus between leaders of both countries and strengthen the good momentum of the development in their ties. “Over the past years, China and India have kept their relationship developing in a sound and steady manner. The leaders of the two countries have successfully exchanged visits and met repeatedly, reaching an important consensus on deepening the strategic partnership between China and India and building a closer partnership for development,” said Li. Asked why Beijing blocked India’s bid to get Jaish-e- Mohammed chief Masood Azhar banned by the UN, he said, “China supports the fight against terrorism in all forms and advocates strengthening international counter-terrorism cooperation. We support the UN in playing a central coordinating role in the international counterterrorism campaign.”

Labour leader under pressure as more ministers quit LONDON, JUN 27 (IANS): With the resignation of 11 shadow ministers on Monday morning, British opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has lost more than half his cabinet and seen more than 30 of his MPs revolt against his leadership since the Brexit vote. Corbyn, who has refused to step down as the Labour leader, is reportedly planning a secret vote on Tuesday on his future. The Labour rebels have criticised his performance in the European Union referendum and he faces more resignations from the junior frontbench ranks amid fresh calls for him to stand down as leader, the Telegraph online reported. Jeremy Corbyn’s grip on the Labour leadership looked increasingly weak as Angela Eagle became the most senior member of his shadow cabinet to quit.
told PTI. The Minister, however, did not specify what are the “emerging new issues” faced by the two countries. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who was on a five-day visit to China last week, had said on Friday that the differences between India and China on the boundary issue and other matters may have “some marginal effect” on bilateral trade but businesses between the two sides have been expanding. The two countries held talks in April this year to resolve the vexed border dispute. While China claims the border dispute is confined to 2,000 kilometres, mainly Arunachal Pradesh in eastern sector which it claims as part of southern Tibet, India asserts the dispute covered the whole of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) including the Aksai Chin occupied by China during the 1962 war. The Chinese Assistant Minister also said that the
