King Charles Won't Attend Climate Summit After UK PM Liz Truss' Objection: Report

King Charles Won't Attend Climate Summit After UK PM's Objection: Report

Both Downing Street and Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the report. (File)

London:

King Charles III will not travel to next month’s COP27 climate summit in Egypt after UK Prime Minister Liz Truss “objected” to the avid environmentalist attending, a report late Saturday said.

Britain’s new monarch, who took the throne when his mother Queen Elizabeth II died last month, had intended to deliver a speech at the November 6-18 gathering, the Sunday Times reported.

But the plan has been axed after Truss – who was only appointed prime minister by the late queen two days before she died – opposed it during a personal audience with Charles at Buckingham Palace last month.

The report comes amid speculation Britain’s new leader, already under fire over her economic plans which have sparked market turmoil, could controversially scale back the country’s climate change commitments.

Her newly assembled cabinet contains a number of ministers who have expressed scepticism about the so-called 2050 net zero goals, while Truss herself is seen as less enthusiastic about the policy than predecessor Boris Johnson.

The Sunday Times said she is unlikely to attend COP27 – the 27th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Britain hosted the last summit in the Scottish city Glasgow, when Charles, the late queen and his son William all addressed the event.

Both Downing Street and Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the report.

The newspaper said the episode was “likely to fuel tensions” between Charles and Truss, but cited a government source who claimed the audience had been “cordial” and there had “not been a row”.

Meanwhile, a royal source told the paper: “It is no mystery that the king was invited to go there.

“He had to think very carefully about what steps to take for his first overseas tour, and he is not going to be attending COP(27).”

Under convention in Britain, all overseas official visits by members of the royal family are undertaken in accordance with advice from the government.

However, despite not attending in person, reports said the king still hopes to be able to contribute in some form to the conference.

Charles III is a committed environmentalist with a long history of campaigning for better conservation, organic farming and tackling climate change.

Hyderabad: Airfares sting, holidayers pick getaways closer home | Hyderabad News

HYDERABAD: Kashmir, Leh, Ladakh, and Varanasi have given way to Coorg, Ooty, Srisailam, and Vizag this Dasara holiday season thanks to exorbitant airfares. With the one-way price on many of these popular routes shooting past Rs 15,000, Hyderabadis are eyeing getaways closer home.
Travel agents and tour operators from the city say many are looking at destinations that can be reached by road, to save money on travel.

Airfares sting, holidayers pick getaways closer home

“With airfares out of reach of the common man, many are cancelling or postponing their travel plans to faraway places and are considering short trips to nearby destinations,” said Nagesh Pampati, chairman, Travel Agents Association of India, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana chapter. He added that international travel too is out of the question for many because of the expensive flight tickets.
“During Dasara holidays, many used to travel to Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, among other places. But, this year, as airfares more than double the normal fare, not many from the state are going to these locations or preferring international travel,” he added.
Nearby destinations that are, instead, in demand include Chikkamagaluru, Coonoor, Araku, and resorts, located on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
“Domestic travel has not reached the pre-pandemic level lyet, but many are taking two-three-day trips to nearby locations, where they can spend some quality time with family,” said Siraj Ansari, president, Tour Operators Association of Telangana adding that cost is deterrent for many as prices of travel, including bus fares, accommodation, and food has increased exorbitantly. Denizens said that after being stuck at home for about two years in the pandemic, they just want to get out of the house even if it means travelling to some known location close by.
“We have decided to drive to Srisailam this weekend. We will be spending a couple of days there and will come back to the city to celebrate Dasara,” said Kiran D, a techie. Y Suresh, a private employee, said that he had to cancel his plan of going to Varanasi in October due to exorbitant prices. “For two people, I needed to spend about Rs 35,000 to Rs 40, 000 only on flight tickets. Instead of spending so much, I decided to go when prices drop,” he said.

United States:

The defense ministers of the United States, Australia and Japan agreed Saturday to boost military cooperation in the face of China’s growing ambitions.

“We are deeply concerned by China’s increasingly aggressive and bullying behavior in the Taiwan Strait, and elsewhere in the region,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said as he welcomed his counterparts from Australia and Japan to the US military headquarters for the Pacific region.

“Our interest lies in the upholding of the global rules-based order. But we see that order under pressure in the Indo-Pacific as well, as China is seeking to shape the world around it in a way that we’ve not seen before,” said the Australian minister, Richard Marles.

The United States is pressing a diplomatic offensive to counter Chinese influence in the region.

On Thursday Washington announced an $810 million aid package for Pacific Island nations where the United States plans to intensify its diplomatic presence.

Vice President Kamala Harris traveled last week to Japan and South Korea and said the United States would act without fear or hesitation throughout Asia, including the Taiwan Strait.

Beijing considers Taiwan to be part of China and also claims the thin and busy channel of water that separate the two.

Harris also traveled to Seoul and visited the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas. Her visit was designed to show Washington’s commitment to defending South Korea against North Korea.
