Cambodian PM to visit China

Hun Sen will attend an economic and trade forum between China and Cambodia, among other activities.

Vice President Wang Qishan will visit Switzerland and attend the World Economic Forum's 2019 meeting in Davos from Jan 21 to 24.

After the divorce deal Theresa May's government struck with the EU was rejected by lawmakers, the British prime minister has until Jan 21 to come back to Parliament with a plan B before lawmakers debate and vote on it on Jan 29.
May confirmed in Parliament she would adhere to this. Amid the confusion（不定因素）, there appear to be multiple potential outcomes, some of which could occur simultaneously.
A Brexit with no deal is an increasingly likely possibility.
A fresh negotiation between the EU and UK is still possible. So is an extension of Article 50, which is the legal means by which a country leaves the union.
The country could also hold a national election or another referendum（普选）, as the June 2016 one was officially a non-binding advisory（建议性的） poll.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are expected to hold talks in Moscow on Jan 22. The conclusion of a peace treaty between the two countries is expected to be discussed, the Kremlin's press service said.
Putin and Abe made a decision to step up negotiations on a peace treaty in Singapore last November. The two sides agreed to use as the treaty's basis the Soviet-Japan Joint Declaration of Oct 19, 1956, which terminated（终止） the state of war between the two countries and restored diplomatic and consular relations.
Russia and Japan have not signed a post-World War II peace treaty due to their rival claims to a group of Pacific islands called the Southern Kurils in Russia and the Northern Territories in Japan.
The disputed Kuril Islands, one of which lies less than 10 kilometers from Japan's Hokkaido Island, consist of Kunashir, Iturup, Shikotan and Habomai. Three are inhabited, while Habomai is a group of islets with only the presence of a border patrol from Russia.
