US, China start Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing

Beijing - AFP
The US and China started their annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing on Monday, as rising tensions in the South China Sea threatened to overshadow the meeting.
"China and the US need to increase mutual trust," Chinese President Xi Jinping said in opening remarks, calling for redoubling of efforts for the two powers to manage conflicts and avoid "strategic misjudgement".
China claims nearly all of the South China Sea despite competing declarations by several Southeast Asian neighbours and has built artificial islands in the area suitable for military use.
Washington has responded by sending warships close to Chinese-claimed reefs, angering Beijing.
The meeting is set to cover issues beyond the South China Sea, including climate change, cyber-security, terrorism, trade and economic cooperation.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
