ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will undertake a visit to China from August 30 to September 4 to attend the 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of State Summit in Tianjin.
According to a statement issued by the Foreign Office, the premier will hold meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang to discuss various aspects of bilateral cooperation.
He will also attend a military parade in Beijing, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the World’s Anti-Fascist War, alongside President Xi and other world leaders.
The prime minister is further scheduled to interact with leading Chinese businessmen and executives to enhance trade, investment, and economic ties, and address the Pakistan-China B2B Investment Conference in Beijing.
The Foreign Office said the visit is part of high-level exchanges aimed at deepening the “All Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership,” advancing the second phase of CPEC, and maintaining regular communication on key regional and global issues.
The three-day important 25th meeting of SCO Heads of States is planned for 31 August, September 1 and 2.
This year’s summit will be the largest since the SCO was founded in 2001, a Chinese foreign ministry official said last week, calling the bloc an “important force in building a new type of international relations”.
Among the attendees at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, set to take place in the northern port city of Tianjin from August 31 to September 1, will be Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alongside leaders from Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
The theme of this year’s meeting will be, “Upholding the Shanghai Spirit: SCO on the Move.” The annual event is likely to focus on key discussions on regional security, economic cooperation, trade and the SCO’s long-term strategic direction and way forward.
The security-focused bloc, which began as a group of six Eurasian nations, has expanded to 10 permanent members and 16 dialogue and observer countries in recent years. Its remit has also enlarged from security and counter-terrorism to economic and military cooperation.
Jessica Simpson candidly spoke about the ups and downs of life, including its unpredictability and the uncertainty of future events.
The 45-year-old singer and actress opened up about becoming a single mother in her 40s revealing how she is moving forward with this tough patch in life.
“I feel like we get caught up in numbers,” Jessica told People. “Like, ‘Oh, at 45, would I think that I would be single again as a mom of three?’ Absolutely not. That was not how I planned it. But it’s just a part of what destiny holds for me.”
The Nashville Canyon artist announced her separation from her husband of 10 years this year, with whom she shares three children: Maxwell Drew, 13, Ace Knute, 12, and Birdie Mae, 6.
On one side she went through separation from her husband and becoming a single mother but she also channeled her energy into creativity and released her first music project in 15 years, earlier this year.
“This time in my life, I was meant to be independent in my self-discovery without anybody else’s critiques, judgments or opinions,” she continued.
Moreover, she recently launched her new fragrance, Mystic Canyon.
“It was really about coming home to myself, being proud of that person, coming from a place of being just very honest and very vulnerable, and putting that into melodic form, but also using it in the brand. It has been really empowering,” Jessica added.
British singer Cher Lloyd has taken a cheeky swipe at Kim Kardashian’s latest Skims product priced at £34.
Sharing a screenshot of the item on her Instagram Story, the “Want U Back” singer mocked the concept, writing, “Save your £34 and grow the …. They really know how to take the …., don’t they?” followed by a laughing emoji.
The undergarment features multiple shades and textures and is marketed by Skims as a limited-edition novelty piece.
However, Lloyd’s sarcastic remark quickly drew attention online, with fans applauding her humor and echoing her criticism of what some called an “outrageous” fashion gimmick.
Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand is known for pushing boundaries in both comfort and design, but this particular launch has sparked debate over whether it’s a clever statement or simply absurd.
Neither Skims nor Kardashian has responded to Lloyd’s post.
