Putin Gifts Xi Jinping Russian Ice Cream as Gift During G20 Visit

India on Sunday raised its concern with China over the CPEC which runs through PoK and terrorism “emanating from the region” as Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Chinese President Xi Jinping the two countries need to be “sensitive” to each other’s strategic interests.

But some of the G20 leaders have begun drawing battle lines in disputes over issues ranging from trade and investment to tax policy and industrial overcapacity.

In the bilateral meeting with Xi ahead of the G20 summit, Modi raised India’s concerns over the Dollars 46 billion China- Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) being laid through PoK.

Since the world turned to China to help power it out of the 2008 financial crisis, Beijing has increasingly felt it deserves a more prominent role befitting its status as the world’s second-largest economy.

Xi said China would continue to safeguard its sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea.

Chinese officials blocked USA travelling media from watching the president disembark, shouting “this is our country” at a US diplomat when she tried to argue this was not the norm for presidential arrivals.

Rice responded but her comments were inaudible to reporters standing underneath the wing of Air Force One.

The two leaders tried to downplay the impact on U.S.

And when it comes to combatting climate change, that’s what we’re doing, both the United States and China.

Modi met Obama briefly when they were on a stage to pose for a family photograph at the venue in this eastern Chinese city.

“We hope the Hangzhou summit will come up with a prescription for the world economy and lead it back to the road of strong, balanced, comprehensive and sustainable growth”.

The Chinese government has broad control over domestic media and prevents many foreign media outlets from publishing in the country, including by blocking their websites. No mobile staircase was prepared for the US president to exit the front door of the plane, forcing him to leave via the lower back door, which has its own stairs.

Obama said the United States was committed to “investigating and bringing the perpetrators of these illegal actions to justice” and assured Erdogan of American cooperation with Turkish authorities.

Also Sunday, the head of the European Union’s governing body called for action on China’s bloated steel industry.

Trudeau’s office said he had a brief “pull aside” chat with to discuss CETA with European Council president Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president.

Mr Turnbull, meanwhile, said Australia wanted an early free trade agreement with Britain so markets could remain open between them when Britain formally left the European trading bloc. Nevertheless, Obama took the tarmac incident in good rumour, noting that the travelling White House juggernaut can be intimidating for any nation. “Otherwise, the world is going to face a huge challenge in coming weeks and months”, Modi said, apparently referring to Pakistan from where terror groups such as Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Taliban operates.

An arbitration court in The Hague ruled in July that China had no historic title over the waters of the South China Sea and had infringed on the rights of the Philippines, which brought the case under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The White House said Mr Obama emphasised “the importance for China, as a signatory to UNCLOS, to abide by its obligations under that treaty, which the United States views as critical to maintaining the rules-based global order”.
