By Alexis HONTANG, Damon WAKE Hanoï (AFP) - Vladimir Poutine a débuté jeudi une visite d'Etat au Vietnam, auquel la Russie fournit des armes depuis des décennies, au lendemain de la signature d'un accord de défense avec la Corée du Nord qui inquiète les Occidentaux. Le président russe a remercié Hanoï pour son approche "équilibrée" sur l'Ukraine, dans une tribune publiée dans le journal du Parti communiste vietnamien (PCV) au pouvoir. La Russie et le Vietnam partagent aussi une lecture "similaire" de la situation en Asie-Pacifique, a-t-il soutenu. Le chef du Kremlin a rencontré vers midi (05H0...

Sydney (AFP) - La Chine va prêter à l'Australie de nouveaux pandas géants, symboles des amitiés diplomatiques de Pékin, pour remplacer le couple d'ursidés dont le contrat de prêt arrive à échéance, a annoncé dimanche le Premier ministre chinois. Le zoo d'Adélaïde, dans le sud de l'Australie, accueille depuis 2009 deux pandas géants envoyés par Pékin, Wang Wang et Fu Ni, une pratique aussi connue sous le nom de "diplomatie du panda". Pour la Chine, la diplomatie du panda est une forme de "puissance douce" ou "soft power", une stratégie d'influence dans les relations internationales. Pékin passe...

Belgium has scheduled what is set to be a heated public debate on a blocked Nature Restoration Law at a summit of environment ministers on Monday (17 June) after failing to break a deadlock during back-room diplomatic talks this week. The European Parliament has already adopted the legislation, which would require environmental restoration work to begin on a fifth of land and sea by 2030 and sets long-term targets for returning specific ecosystems to health, following an informal agreement last November with the EU Council of Ministers. However, what was supposed to be a final rubber stamp fro...

Bari (Italy) (AFP) - From bear hugs to looks that could kill, G7 leaders may have put on a show of unity at an Italy summit this week -- but it was not all la dolce vita. Footage of the leaders singing "Happy Birthday" to Germany's Olaf Scholz at Joe Biden's urging was the perfect display of Group of Seven cooperation. Thursday's welcoming embrace between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the summit host, and Britain's Rishi Sunak was so enthusiastic it went viral. "Giorgia is fantastic," Sunak told reporters Friday, highlighting the two right-wing leaders' cooperation on migration and de...

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has crafted a charismatic persona for herself since taking office. Since October 2022, the leader of the far-right Fratelli d'Italia party has become internationally known for her exuberant manner when greeting foreign counterparts, encouraging them to pose for selfies with her at what are normally stiff and staid multilateral events. It’s a persona that has helped soften her reputation as a hardline right-winger, at least on the international stage. But as Italy’s turn came to host the annual G7 summit this week, an array of problems sprung up to embarras...
