Royal Wedding
Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton are expected to get married in Westminster Abbey on St. Catherine’s Day which falls on April 29 next year. The couple, both 28, met at St Andrews University, Scotland. The prince proposed to Middleton with his mother’s famous diamond and saphire ring while they were on holiday in Kenya in October. The ring, said William, “was my way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement”. The long anticipated royal wedding will be undoubtedly be a matter of scrutiny and not just by royal watchers. Royal wedding souvenirs have already been approved by the palace for sale.
Afghanistan, out.
President Barack Obama reaffirms plans to start pulling out troops from Afghanistan from the middle of 2011. Describing the war in Afghanistan as “a very difficult endeavour”, Obama said that the US was “on track to achieve our goals”. Britain and Germany are also scheduled to start withdrawing their troops next year.
Trouble brewing?
North Korea is expected to continue to bolster its nuclear capabilities next year even if stalled talks to end its atomic programmes resume, reports South Korea’s Yonhap news agency. The possibility of Pyongyang conducting another nuclear test “is always open” said the report. North Korea has conducted tests twice so far and it considers itself a nuclear weapons state.
State of Palestine
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad suggested that the dream of a Palestine state could be realised in 2011 as there has been a “change in the Palestinian mindset”. He further ventured that for the dream to be realised, all sides had to be “fully committed to non-violence”.
We hope the new year of 2011 will bring a better things for us.
