UNITED NATIONS Cheap Sean Elliott Jersey , Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday expressed his "deep regret" over the U.S. decision to withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).


"The Secretary-General regrets this development deeply, considering the major U.S. role in UNESCO since its founding," Guterres' deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement.


The U.S. government announced on Thursday that it would withdraw from UNESCO, after years of America distancing itself from the UN organization because of what it called the group's "anti-Israel bias."




WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- While tightening global monetary policies would put more pressure on short-term liquidity in frontier markets (FMs), Chinese financing could help mitigate liquidity risk for these countries Cheap David Lee Jersey , said Moody's, a ratings agency, in a report released on Monday.


Moody's defines FMs as sub-investment-grade countries that rely heavily on concessional financing. Moody's rates 36 FM countries, most of which carry ratings in the B1-B3 range.


"Benign global liquidity conditions have permitted some FMs to raise commercial U.S. dollars sovereign debt, at relatively favorable rates," Anne Van Praagh, a Moody's Managing Director Cheap Rudy Gay Jersey , said. "One quarter of FMs had issued new debt on commercial terms as of August 2017."


"Looking ahead, as global liquidity conditions evolve, elevated debt service costs and liquidity risks are key credit challenges for FMs," she added.


The most vulnerable sovereigns are those with larger external vulnerabilities, limited domestic fiscal policy space, high gross borrowing needs and low institutional strength, the report said.


Higher global interest rates could limit market access and significantly raise debt servicing costs for sovereigns with a material proportion of externally financed debt and large gross borrowing requirements.


According to the report Cheap Pau Gasol Jersey , liquidity risks are most acute in Egypt, Pakistan and Mongolia.


"Financing from China through foreign direct investment and swap line arrangements has become more important for some FMs, 16 of which are listed under China's Belt and Road Initiative," said the report.


"Chinese financing could help mitigate near-term liquidity risks," said the report.


"It is encouraging a shift away from financing by international financial institutions, which have historically provided a stable funding source, including on concessional terms."




LOS ANGELES Cheap LaMarcus Aldridge Jersey , Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- After 20 years in space, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Cassini spacecraft was running out of fuel.


To protect moons of Saturn that could have conditions suitable for life, the long-lived traveler from Earth made a fateful plunge into the atmosphere of Saturn Friday morning, ending its 13-year tour of the ringed planet.


It's hard to say goodbye, not only for the entire Cassini team, but everyone who looks up at Saturn in the night sky. So, why Cassini matters?


VASTLY EXPANDED OUR KNOWLEDGE


Launched in 1997 Cheap David Robinson Jersey , the 3.26-billion-U.S.-dollar Cassini-Huygens mission has been touring the Saturn system since arriving at the sixth planet from our sun in 2004. The Huygens lander separated from Cassini and plopped down on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan shortly after the arrival.


The Cassini probe had been planned to study the Saturn system until 2008, but the mission was given two extensions that stretched its lifetime into 2017.


During its journey, Cassini has made numerous dramatic discoveries. From Cassini, our knowledge of gas giants, ring systems and icy moons has vastly expanded.
