Poland's PM Tusk survives confidence vote after presidential setback
WarsawcTypeface:> Poland's pro-European government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk survived a vote of confidence in parliament on Wednesday by a margin of 243 votes to 210. Following the result, members of the ruling coalition broke into chants of 'Donald Tusk, Donald Tusk' on the parliamentary floor. Tusk called the confidence vote in the wake of his camp's defeat in the June 1 run-off presidential election. Liberal candidate Rafat Trzaskowski, a close ally of Tusk, narrowly lost to conservative Karol Nawrocki, who was backed by the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party. The loss dealt a blow to Tusk's leadership. In a defiant speech ahead of the vote, Tusk struck a combative tone: 'I know the taste of victory and the bitterness of defeat, but there is one word I do not know: surrender.' (DPA)

Philippines-Qatar ties spanmultiple sectors: Envoy
Ashraf Siddiqui Doha The Philippines engagements with Qatari friends and partners cut across a wide range of issues and sectors, providing depth to the robust bilateral relations between Manila and Doha, Ambassador of Philippines to Qatar HE Mardomel Celo D Melicor has said. He added that the Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's historic state visit to the Philippines in 2024, the recent political consultation meeting in Manila in May 2025, and other joint engagements on issues that cover labour, economic, transport and cultural relations, point to greater things ahead as 'we are set to celebrate 45 years of formal diplomatic relations between the two friendly nations next year.' The Philippines envoy was speaking on the occasion of 127th anniversary of declaration of independence celebrations reception hosted by him on Wednesday. Present on the occasion were Minister of Justice and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs HE Ibrahim bin Ali bin Issa Al Hassan Al Mohannadi, Director of the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Ambassador Ibrahim Yousif Abdullah Fakhro, HE Mohamed Bahrin Paduka Haji Abu Bakar, dean of Asean Ambassadors group and ambassador of Brunei, dignitaries, members of the diplomatic corp and guests. Ambassador Melicor said that on the multilateral front, the Philippines continues to play its role as a responsible, trusted, and reliable actor in an increasingly complex and globalising world, one where a rules-based international order is held paramount. 'As a maritime and archipelagic country, the Philippines believes that maritime governance, based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS, is an area of common action. As such, we continue to assert the rule of law and strengthen partnerships to ensure that Philippine sovereignty is preserved in its waters, and that peace at sea and freedom of navigation are guaranteed,' he said. He added, 'With respect to the crisis in the Middle East region, we remain committed to supporting multilateral efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful resolution to the war in Gaza. The Philippines calls for the full, safe, rapid, and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip. 'We believe that the provision of humanitarian assistance must remain under the leadership of the United Nations and other internationally mandated actors, based on impartial needs assessments and guided by the principles of neutrality and humanity. Along this line, I am pleased to inform you that last year, in firm solidarity with the Palestinian people, the Philippines doubled its voluntary annual financial contribution to UNRWA to support the agency's critical life-saving work.' Local Philippines schoolchildren engaged and attracted the guests with their skilled performances.
