Pékin (AFP) - Le président russe Vladimir Poutine était vendredi dans la ville chinoise de Harbin (nord-est), au deuxième jour d'une visite centrée sur la promotion du commerce entre les deux pays et la recherche d'un soutien accru à la guerre en Ukraine. Arrivé jeudi matin à Pékin, le dirigeant réalise son premier voyage à l'étranger depuis sa réélection en mars et son deuxième en Chine en un peu plus de six mois. Il a été reçu par Xi Jinping et les deux hommes ont défendu ensemble l'axe Pékin-Moscou comme un facteur de "stabilité" et de "paix" dans le monde. La relation diplomatique et comme...

Abidjan (AFP) - A US delegation is discussing the withdrawal of its troops from military-led Niger as Washington prepares to abandon its strategic position in the Sahel where Russia and Iran are gaining ground. The demand for US troops to exit comes after French troops were also forced to withdraw last year by Niger's new ruling generals following a July coup. Niger announced in March it was ending a military cooperation agreement with Washington, claiming the presence of US soldiers was now "illegal". The country has been a key base for counter-terrorism operations in West Africa, with a majo...

Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was trying to send a message of defiance and hope when he took to the stage of a Kyiv bar on Tuesday night for a guitar performance of "Rockin' in the Free World". But some Ukrainians have reacted angrily, chastising Washington's top diplomat for an ill-judged jam session in the capital while Ukrainian troops are fighting in trenches, struggling to hold back a Russian advance amid a shortage of weapons. "One word is enough to describe US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's evening in Kyiv yesterday: inappropriate," said Svitlana Matvi...

By Matthew WALSH, Oliver HOTHAM Pékin (AFP) - Effrayées par les menaces de sanctions américaines, les banques chinoises sont devenues ces derniers mois plus prudentes dans leurs transactions avec la Russie, malgré l'amitié "sans limite" proclamée par les dirigeants des deux pays. La relation diplomatique et commerciale entre Pékin et Moscou s'est nettement renforcée avec la guerre en Ukraine. Faisant fi des critiques de la communauté internationale, le président chinois Xi Jinping devrait d'ailleurs recevoir en mai à Pékin son homologue russe Vladimir Poutine. Mais sur le plan financier, les c...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden said Wednesday he would stop US weapons supplies to Israel if it attacks Rafah in southern Gaza, his most direct warning to date over the prosecution of the war against Hamas. In an interview with CNN Biden also deplored the fact that civilians had been killed by the dropping of US bombs on the Palestinian territory. His fresh warning came after the US last week halted a shipment of huge American bombs to Israel as it appeared ready to proceed with a major attack on Rafah -- a city packed with Palestinian civilians sheltering near the Egyptian border.
