| Programmes started by Arjun will not be scrapped, says Sibal | |||||||
| |||||||
(PTI) Programmes in the education sector initiated by previous HRD
Minister Arjun Singh will not be scrapped, Kapil Sibal today said as he
assumed charge as HRD Minister.
After taking over, Sibal said the
policies and programmes started by the HRD Ministry during last five
years will be continued with modifications "as required".
"Whatever policy has been started or rules and regulations framed
by the previous government will not be scrapped. I respect my
predecessor, who is a respectable leader of the Congress," he told
reporters.
Sibal, however, said changes were required in the education sector
to enable the children and youth to compete with their counterparts at
the international level.
"Nothing is static. We have to march forward to be able to compete at the international level," he said.
Sibal said changes are required with respect to curriculum at
every stages. "Skill development is our priority. Our youth do not get
jobs because our curriculum has not been changed. The curriculum of
schools and universities should be upgraded," he said.
Even the IITs, which are considered centres of excellence, need to upgrade themselves with the changing times, he added. PTI
Delhi
University has turned down the proposal of several colleges to conduct
admission of OBC students centrally on the grounds that the relaxed cut
offs for the backward classes has to be decided by the institutes
individually.
About seven colleges have approached DU
Vice Chancellor Deepak Pental, requesting him to start conducting the
admissions for OBC students centrally from this year to make the
process more smooth.
At present, admissions for SC/ST
candidates are being conducted by the university centrally, an
arrangement under which the varsity allots students to colleges on
'preference-cum-merit' basis.
But admission of OBC students is conducted by individual colleges on the basis of relaxed cut-off marks.
The colleges have said they asked for the new arrangement as the present system allows duplication of applications.
The university, however, said OBC
admissions are being done by the colleges as the Supreme Court
guidelines say that the candidates from this category should not be
given a discount of more than 10 per cent from the general cut off.
"As the general cut offs are being
decided by the colleges individually, the cut offs for the OBC have to
be decided accordingly," a DU official said.

My niece KRISHNA has passed PLUS Two exams from New Delhi. My cousin ARUN called me again and again as KRISHNA was insisting to AUSTRALIA for her Higher studies in MARINE Science or OCEANOLOGY. Her Mother JHARNA strongly supported her. ARUN has a residence in PUNJABI AREA JAHANGIRPURA in West Delhi. He is economically sound to send his daughter abroad but he hesitates to break the Cultural barrier!
KRISHNA has been dreaming to study Oceanology since her school days and I am quite AWARE of the DREAMS and Planning of our child. SHE believes that the FUTURE for HUMANITY lies in the DEEP. I endorse her feeling!
But I also do understand the confusion in the mind of my brother.
Krishna is only SEVENTEEN years old and is not Mature enough to cope with Challenges in an alien land.They did not try to groom her at all. She was not aloud to go alone anywhere.Her school was nearby. Arun is not ready to drop the girl into an OCEAN of Uncertainty.
I talked to Krishna on Phone and convinced her for the Mandatory GROOMING!I suggested her to get Admission in JNU or Jamia Milia or Delhi University or Pantnagar for the time being.first she has to groom herself as an INDEPENDENT Personality! We also talked about Apartheid and RACIAL Feelings in AUSTRALIA and elsewhere.
The Girl, luckily, is intelligent enough to be CONVINCED as I advised her not to depend much on Family Connections!
Then the News Broke.First from Vienna and then,from AUSTRALIA.Anti India Apartheid VIOLENCE extends like FIRE!
NUCLEAR ARMAMENT in Pakistan is nothing new.But it is HIGHLIGHTED once again to justify the LONG Shopping List in the Global ARMS Market and the eventual KICKBACKS and Swiss bank Accounts. It also INVOKES Goddess hatred against Pakistan and Muslims in India to CREATE BLIND nationalism.
See the infrastructure of Government of India carefully manufactured to Pursue Mass DESTRUCTION Agenda of tri IBLIS Global Order of Phoenix! SIX Cabinet Ministers to appease the SC communities to break the Bases of Mayawati! Then this hatred campaign to alienate and segregate the Muslims!
Meanwhile , I have Telephonic Talks with Marxist Minister ANIL sarkar and have one to one CONVERSATION with Marxist Leaders and cadres on different level.I have been in touch with friends based in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.I suggested my Social,ECO, human Right Activist Friends to be engaged in GRASS ROOT Level Mass Mobilisation. I told the TRADE UNION Leaders all about the KILLING Plans of the Ruling Hegemony.I talked to Bamcef to change their mode of Social Movement a little bit on the base of PURE AMBEDKARITE Ideology keeping in mind ANNIHILATION Of Caste, Small Holding, Problems of RUPEE and Ambedkars fight to ensure the right to TRADE UNIONS and Right to EDUCATION and Liberation of the Sudra Women!
Then, I suggested my Marxist friends to adjust with delinked with Power politics. Prakash karat has done an EXCELLENT job to save COMMUNIST Movement decoupling it from the RULING Hegemony.Marxists must go back to Ideology and give up CAPITALISM and COLONIALISM!
I know since the Marxists have got all the Trade unions as well as Very Powerful social and Production Organisations,they MUST lead and initiate the RESISTANCE Pending so long against the LPG Mafia. They Must also lead the FIGHT against Globalisation, Disinvestment and DIVESTMENT,Fascism and IMPERIALISM!
We may not succeed to launch any Resistance whatsoever without the INVOLVEMENT of the Marxists who DEVIATED far away from IDEOLOGY and History, Grass Roots and RURAL bases!
Thus, I appeal all Marxists to stand UNITED ROCK SOLID with Comrade PRAKASH Karat!
President
Barack Obama wants to give a message that how United States can change
to improve its relationship with the majority-Muslim countries and
develop better understanding with them when he addresses the Muslim
world from Cairo next week.
"I want to use the occasion to deliver
a broader message about how the US can change for the better its
relationship with the Muslim world," Obama told reporters when asked
about his next week's speech aimed towards addressing the Muslim world,
a promise he made soon after becoming the President.
That will require, I think, a
recognition on both the part of the US as well as many majority-Muslim
countries about each other; a better sense of understanding and, I
think, the possibilities of achieving common ground, he added.
"I want to emphasize the importance of
Muslim- Americans in the US and tremendous contributions they make,
something that I think oftentimes is missed in some of these
discussions," the US President said.
Earlier, the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs said a draft of the speech has not been prepared yet.
"We were in meetings about this last
night, and I know the President has spent time over the course of the
past week with his speechwriters, but a draft has not yet been birthed
to the point of - that he's had a chance to look at it," Gibbs said.
India on
Friday said the spate of violent attacks targeting its students in
Australia should "stop now" and asserted that authorities here should
come up with a solution to prevent such incidents from recurring.
Indian High Commissioner Sujata Singh,
who met premier of Victoria John Brumby and top police and educational
officials of the province, said there is a "racist element in some of
the attacks" but many of them were "opportunistic".
"The fact of the matter is that
whatever the motive behind the attacks, they seem to be Indian
students," she told a crowded press conference in Mumbai.
Observing that the Indian students are
seen as "soft targets," Singh said it has been made clear to the
Australian government and police that they will have to come up with a
solution to prevent such attacks.
"It is my earnest hope that these
attacks stop now. And that is precisely what we are all trying to work
towards," Singh, who was accompanied by Indian consul general to
Melbourne Anita Nair, said.
Australia has recently seen a series of
attacks on Indian students, the most serious being the assault of
Shravan Kumar, a 25-year-old student from Andhra Pradesh who is
battling for life in a hospital here after being stabbed by a
screwdriver by a group of teens in a weekend attack that also left
three of his friends injured.
Meanwhile,The
attacks on Indian students in this Australian city were not racially
motivated, an official said Friday, adding "we think they are
vulnerable, we don't think it's racial".
Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said
there was no indication that a rise in assaults and robberies against
Indian students in Melbourne's west was due to "race hate".
He said there was a perception that Indian people were weak prey for criminals.
"I don't think they are (racist crimes) in general ... more opportunistic activity.
"We think they are vulnerable, we don't think it's racial, we think they are a weak target," Walshe told The Herald Sun.
Walshe said the Footscray Embona
Taskforce was working with representatives of Melbourne's Indian
community to catch those responsible for the attacks.
Three attacks on Indian students have
taken place in quick succession, with the first incident being reported
May 9 while the most recent took place Monday.
Sravan Kumar Theerthala, a 25-year-old
Indian student who was assaulted Sunday in Melbourne along with three
other students, is battling for his life in intensive care unit in a
hospital.
Theerthala, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, went to Melbourne to study two years ago.
The attackers allegedly hurled racist abuses at Indian students and hit them with a screwdriver.
Another Indian student Baljinder Singh was robbed and stabbed in Melbourne Monday.
Singh had left a railway station when
two men carrying weapons approached him and demanded money. As he
searched through his bag to hand over his wallet he was stabbed in the
abdomen, Herald Sun reported.
He said: "They just laughed when they
stabbed me in the stomach. They laughed at me...I was screaming 'don't
kill me, don't kill me'."
Australian police Thursday arrested two teenagers over the beating of yet another Indian student on a Melbourne train.
Sourabh Sharma, 21, was beaten by a group of young men as he travelled on a train May 9, Herald Sun reported.
Sharma suffered a fractured cheek bone
and a broken tooth in the attack, which was captured on closed circuit
television cameras.
He said he was also racially abused and robbed during the attack.

Now, The
Pentagon plans to create a new military command for cyberspace,
stepping up preparations by the armed forces to conduct both offensive
and defensive computer warfare, a leading U.S. daily reported on
Friday.
The military command would complement a
civilian effort to be announced by President Barack Obama that would
overhaul the way the United States safeguards its computer networks,
administration officials said.
Mr. Obama, officials told New York Times,
will announce the creation of a White House office — reporting to both
the National Security Council (NSA) and the National Economic Council —
that will coordinate a multibillion-dollar effort to restrict access to
government computers and protect systems that run the stock exchanges,
clear global banking transactions and manage the air traffic control
system.
White House officials told the paper
that Mr. Obama has not yet been formally presented with the Pentagon
plan. They said he would not discuss it on Friday when he announces the
creation of a White House office responsible for coordinating
private-sector and government defences against the thousands of
cyberattacks mounted against the U.S. — largely by hackers but
sometimes by foreign governments — every day.
But he is expected to sign a classified
order in coming weeks that will create the military cybercommand,
officials were quoted by the paper as saying.
It is a recognition that the US already
has a growing number of computer weapons in its arsenal and must
prepare strategies for use — as a deterrent or alongside conventional
weapons — in a wide variety of possible future conflicts.
The White House office, said the Times,
will be run by a "cyberczar," but because the position will not have
direct access to the president, some experts told the paper that it was
not high-level enough to end a series of bureaucratic wars that have
broken out as billions of dollars have suddenly been allocated to
protect against the computer threats.
The main dispute, the Times
says, has been over whether the Pentagon or NSA should take the lead in
preparing for and fighting cyberbattles. Under one proposal still being
debated, parts of the NSA would be integrated into the military command
so they could operate jointly.
Officials said that in addition to the
unclassified strategy paper to be released by Obama, a classified set
of presidential directives is expected to lay out the military's new
responsibilities and how it coordinates its mission with that of the
NSA, where most of the expertise on digital warfare resides today.
The decision to create a cybercommand, the Times
said, is a major step beyond the actions taken by Bush administration,
which authorised several computer-based attacks but never resolved the
question of how the government would prepare for a new era of warfare
fought over digital networks.
Five teenagers held for attacks on Indian students in Australia
Five
teenagers have been charged for two separate attacks on Indian students
in this Australian city, as an official held the assaults were not
racially motivated.
One teenager was charged with attempted
murder over the attack with a screwdriver on 25-year-old Sravan Kumar
Theerthala who is battling for his life, while four others were charged
with brutally beating up Sourabh Sharma, 21, on a train.
"A 17-year-old male from Glenroy was
charged with attempted murder after four Indian students were attacked
with a screwdriver by gatecrashers at a party in Hadfield, in
Melbourne's north, on Saturday night. One of the victims remains in
intensive care in hospital," The Age reported on Friday.
An 18-year-old man from Heidelberg West was questioned in relation to the attack but has since been released.
The police have also charged four
minors from Melbourne's west over the brutal bashing of Sharma who was
going home on a Werribee line train after a shift at KFC, the report
said.
The teenagers have been charged with
offences including affray, intentionally causing injury, recklessly
causing injury and robbery.
However, Deputy Commissioner Kieran
Walshe said there was no indication that a rise in assaults and
robberies against Indian students in Melbourne's west was due to "race
hate".
He said there was a perception that Indian people were weak prey for criminals.
"I don't think they are (racist crimes) in general ... more opportunistic activity.
"We think they are vulnerable, we don't think it's racial, we think they are a weak target," Walshe told The Herald Sun.
Mr. Walshe said a taskforce was working
with representatives of Melbourne's Indian community to catch those
responsible for the attacks.
Three attacks on Indian students have
taken place in quick succession, with the first incident being reported
May 9 while the most recent took place Monday.
Mr. Theerthala, who was assaulted on
Sunday in Melbourne along with three other students, is battling for
his life in intensive care unit in The Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Mr. Theerthala, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, went to Melbourne to study two years ago.
The attackers allegedly hurled racist abuses at Indian students and hit them with a screwdriver.
Another Indian student Baljinder Singh was robbed and stabbed in Melbourne on Monday.
Mr. Singh had left a railway station

India to intensify global trade engagement: Sharma
New Delhi (PTI): India will intensify
its global economic engagement in sync with the country's profile and
the government will take "every possible step" to give a fillip to the
industry, new Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said on
Friday.
"We shall see to it that in the global
context our economic engagement is intensified as it is expected of a
country of India's profile," Mr. Sharma said in his first interaction
with reporters after being appointed as the Commerce and Industry
Minister.
Mr. Sharma, who was Minister of State
for External Affairs in the previous government, said he would benefit
from his earlier assignment.
"I will benefit from my earlier
experiences, particularly from the External Affairs Ministry," he said
adding economic diplomacy was a part of the global engagement.
Mr. Sharma, 56, thanked Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh and the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi for "reposing trust
and confidence in (him)"
He said he was taking a "challenging responsibility".
Mr. Sharma is taking charge of the
trade ministry at a time when India's exports have suffered a severe
setback due to the global downturn.
Also, the economy is growing at a much
slower pace. For 2008-09, the GDP growth dropped to 6.7 per cent
against nine per cent in the previous fiscal.
Tharoor takes over as MoS External Affairs
New Delhi (PTI): Shashi Tharoor, who
failed to become U.N. chief three years ago, on Friday took charge as
Minister of State for External Affairs, a portfolio the former U.N.
diplomat says he is very happy to be in.
"I am very happy to be here. This is a
ministry that I have had very very good, constructive and positive
dealings with for many many years and to be part of this is a real
privilege" 53-year-old Tharoor told reporters.
He said India has been occupying an
important place in the world and that he will contribute in his own way
to further strengthen that "honoured place".
"India's place in the world is of great
importance.India is a country which for the longest period of time,
since the days of Jawaharlal Nehru, has had an honoured place in the
world ...and I wish to make my own contribution for strengthening that
very honoured place," he said.
Asked whether he will pursue India's
case for a permanent membership in the U.N. Security Council, Tharoor
who served as Undersecretary General for Communications and Public
Information, said the Government has a very clear policy on the issue.
"There are very clear policies of the
Government of India on these issues. I certainly hope to be a good and
faithful servant of these policies," he said.
Asian markets gain after jump in Japan production
HONG KONG (AP): Asian stocks were
modestly higher after Japanese industrial production jumped at its
fastest pace in 56 years, in the latest sign recession was easing in
major economies.
But trading was tepid as many investors
held back because of doubts about how much longer the aggressive run in
world stock markets this spring can last. Among the day's best
performers were resource producers like oil firms, lifted by stronger
commodity prices.
In Japan, industrial output jumped 5.2
percent in April, the government said, as companies raised production
following drastic cutbacks because of the unprecedented drop in demand
late last year.
It was evidence that manufacturers in
the world's second largest economy are starting to heal amid the
country's steepest recession since World War II. Still, a rise in
Tokyo's market was capped by other reports showed continuing pain for
workers and consumers.
Markets could be directionless for now,
analysts say, as a hesitancy among many investors to buy more stocks is
offset by the massive liquidity brought on by stimulus spending and
rock-bottom interest rates around the world.
``We've had such a good run and stocks
don't look cheap at this point anymore,'' said Andrew Orchard, Asian
strategist for Royal Bank of Scotland in Hong Kong. ``But I think the
liquidity is so strong that any bit of good news can get blown out of
proportion and support prices right now.''
The Nikkei 225 stock average gained
43.15 points, or 0.5 percent, to 9,494.54 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng
added 82.04, or 0.5 percent, to 17,967.31.
South Korea's Kospi was up 0.1 percent at 1,393.62. Australia's key index both climbed 1.6 percent.
Financial markets in mainland China and Taiwan were closed Friday for a holiday.
In New York Friday, the Dow rose
103.78, or 1.3 percent, to 8,403.80. The S&P 500 index rose 13.77,
or 1.5 percent, to 906.83.
Wall Street was poised to give back
some of its gains after U.S. futures declined. Dow futures were down 17
points, or 0.2 percent, at 8,367 and S&P futures were little
changed at 905.30.
Oil prices pulled back from a six-month
high in Asia, with benchmark crude for July delivery down 16 cents to
$65.24 a barrel. The contract rose $1.63 to settle at $65.08 overnight,
boosted by a fall in U.S. oil inventories and better economic news.
The dollar fell to 96.50 yen from 96.76 yen. The euro was higher at $1.3988 from $1.3939.
No chemicals hub; no Tata money: Mamata Banerjee 29 May 2009, 0547 hrs IST, Mohua Chatterjee, ET Bureau NEW DELHI: Her new ministerial responsibilities have not dampened her agitational spirit . Even as new ministers were taking oath on Thursday, a or high water, she would not allow the proposed chemicals hub to come up in Nayachar in West Bengal. “We are against the chemical hub. It is an environmental hazard. We have learnt that Dow Chemicals, the company which has been blacklisted for the Bhopal gas tragedy, is also involved in the hub. If they have not got environmental clearance, how can we give clearance,” she said, driving another spoke in the state’s industrial revival plans. The fiesty lady who was responsible for the Tatas moving their Nano car project out of West Bengal, also revealed that she had turned down a poll contribution of Rs 27 lakh sent by the Tatas. ‘‘ The cheque came from a Tata trust with a letter to my Kolkata office address two days ago. We have returned the cheque and will also write a polite letter in reply,” she said. When asked about this, a Tata spokesman said, ‘‘ The money was indeed offered to Mamata Banerjee by the Tata Electoral Trust. Tatas do not distribute money. Based on the criteria laid down in its mandate, the trust offers money to any party that meets the criteria.’’ In reply to a question on what she would do about the Singur land where the Nano factory was coming up, Mamata said, "Our stand remains the same - have your factory in the 600 acres and give 400 acres back to farmers." She added, "We are not against industry, we want industry and farmers both to flourish, which is what the Left failed to understand."
Asked what she would do for her state with her large contingent of ministers, even if they had MoS portfolios, Banerjee said, "once ministries are announced it will have to be seen how much responsibility is given to the junior ministers and accordingly one can work out how much work can be done for the state. We have asked for ministries which can directly serve the people and our agenda is to do the best we can for the people of West Bengal." "Expectations may be high but the people of Bengal are also extremely aware, they know unless the state government is changed nothing can be done and what we are doing now is only infrastructure building," was her well thought out but prompt reply. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/No-chemicals-hub-no-Tata-money-Mamata-Banerjee/articleshow/4591561.cms
Performers get key portfolios as PM tightens grip ET Bureau NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday added 59 new ministers — 14 at the Cabinet level, seven ministers of state (MoS) with reconciling conflicting interests and aspirations of his party colleagues, his party’s need to shore up in vulnerable areas and injecting an element of youthful energy. The 59 new ministers who took oath of office included three former chief ministers — Vilasrao Deshmukh, Farooq Abdullah and Virbhadra Singh. The PM’s grip on economic policy-making was tightened with appointments in key ministries. The sign of his determination to place people he wanted where he wanted came last week itself when he refused to accommodate DMK ministers in key infrastructure ministries. The DMK had to contend with Cabinet posts in telecom, fertilisers and chemicals and textiles. His resolve to hand over key infrastructure ministries to proven performers was evident in the appointment of Kamal Nath for the roads and highways portfolio. As is his selection of GK Vasan, son of the late and workmanlike GK Moopanar, for the shipping department. The appointment of Salman Khursheed as the new corporate affairs minister — a job held in the previous government by the Lalu factotum Prem Gupta — is proof, if indeed it were needed, that with the shackles of allies off, Manmohan Singh now means business. Murli Deora has got an endorsement in petroleum as Mr Singh has asked him to continue, while Assam veteran BK Handique has chosen for mines. Anand Sharma, whose elevation as Cabinet minister was no surprise last week, was given the key twin portfolios of commerce and industry. Coming as it does as India prepares for crucial WTO negotiations — a job commendably done by Kamal Nath in the previous regime — it is a reflection of the leadership’s implicit faith in Mr Sharma’s ability. After five years of grievance mongering in the HRD, the department is now in the hands of Kapil Sibal, whose outlook is as modern as can be in the current dispensation. Veerappa Moily, though not a minister in the previous government, was among the most sought-after Congress leaders. He is the new law minister. The selection of experienced Congress leaders for infrastructure ministries is expected to boost Mr Singh’s premiership at a time when the country is going through an economic crisis. The government, in any case, has sufficient elbowroom to operate, as it does not have populist allies or the constant carping Left to deal with in this term. The PM and his finance minister Pranab Mukherjee have already said they will take the measures required to put the economy on the high growth trajectory. | ||||||||||||||
'20,000 Tamils killed during final assault against LTTE'
London (PTI): Over 20,000 trapped Tamil
civilians were killed as the Sri Lankan Army launched its final assault
to end the country's nearly three decades old civil war with the LTTE
guerrillas, a media report said on Friday.
An investigation by The Times
newspaper has revealed that the figures of over 20,000 civilians killed
in the final stages of the civil war, most as a result of government
shelling, is three times the official figure.
Blaming the civilian casualties on the
LTTE rebels, authorities in Colombo have insisted that the Army halted
the use of heavy weapons on April 27 and observed the no-fire zone
where 1,00,000 Tamil men, women and children were sheltering.
However, the report claimed that aerial
photographs, official documents, witness accounts and expert testimony
present a clear evidence of an atrocity that comes close to matching
Srebrenica, Darfur and other massacres of civilians.
It said the Army, without the scrutiny
of the world’s media and aid organisations which were kept well away
from the war zone, launched a fierce barrage that began at the end of
April and lasted about three weeks.
Confidential United Nations documents
obtained by the British daily record nearly 7,000 civilian deaths in
the no-fire zone up to the end of April.
According to sources with the world
body, the casualties then surged, with an average of 1,000 civilians
killed each day until May 19, the day after Tamil Tigers supremo
Velupillai Prabhakaran was killed in fierce fightings, the report said.
The figures concur with the estimate made to The Times
by Father Amalraj, a Roman Catholic priest who escaped from the no-fire
zone on May 16 and is now among the 2,00,000 other survivors in Manik
Farm refugee camp, which is among the largest camp sites hosting
internally displaced persons.
It would take the final toll above 20,000.
The report said one photograph shows
the destruction of the flimsy refugee camp, with sand mounds showing
makeshift burial grounds.
Independent defence experts, who
analysed dozens of aerial photographs taken by the paper, said that the
arrangement of the Army and rebel barrage positions and the narrowness
of the no-fire zone made it unlikely that the LTTE's mortar fire or
artillery caused a significant number of deaths.
"It looks more likely that the firing
position has been located by the Sri Lankan Army and it has then been
targeted with air-burst and ground-impact mortars," Charles Heyman,
editor of the magazine Armed Forces of the U.K., was quoted as saying by the British daily.
However, Sri Lanka has rejected these allegations.
"We reject all these allegations.
Civilians have not been killed by government shelling at all. If
civilians have been killed, then that is because of the actions of the
LTTE [rebels] who were shooting and killing people when they tried to
escape," said a spokesman for the Sri Lankan High Commission.
The overall scale of relief operation
in Sri Lanka remains huge. Last week, the government announced that its
military operation against the LTTE had ended.

U.S. to host next G20 Summit in September
Washington (PTI): The U.S. will host
the next G20 Summit on September 24 and 25, in which top world powers,
including India, will discuss the ways to ensure a "sound and
sustainable recovery" from the global financial crisis.
The third such global summit, to be
held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, would be attended by leaders of the
top 20 economies of the world.
The first G20 meeting was held in November last year, while Britain hosted the second summit in April.
"At the Pittsburgh Summit, (U.S.)
President (Barack) Obama will meet with leaders representing 85 per
cent of the world's economy, take stock of the progress made since the
Washington and London summits, and discuss further actions to assure a
sound and sustainable recovery from the global economic and financial
crisis," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, told reporters on
Thursday.
Pittsburgh has been chosen as the venue
of the next summit, Mr. Gibbs said as most of the world leaders would
be there in neighboring New York City to attend the annual General
Assembly summit of the United Nations.
Further, Mr. Gibbs said, Pittsburg is
an area that has seen its share of economic woes in the past, but
because of foresight and investment is now renewed, giving birth to
renewed industries that are creating the jobs of the future.
"I think the President believes it would be a good place to highlight some of that stuff," he said.
Obama 'confident' on two-state solution
Mr Obama said he was a strong believer in the two-state solution
US President Barack Obama says he is
confident that Israel will recognise that a two-state solution is in
the best interests of its security.
Speaking after White
House talks with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Mr Obama again urged
Israel to freeze settlement expansion.
Israel has insisted it will allow existing settlements to expand, despite pressure from Washington.
President Obama also said Palestinians must rein in anti-Israeli violence.
For his part, Mr Abbas said he was committed to all obligations under the Mid-East peace plan "roadmap".
However,
without a halt to Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, the
Palestinians have said there can be no progress towards peace.
'Israel's interests'
Mr
Obama said he was a "strong believer in a two-state solution" and
believed Israel would recognise that it was in the best interests of
its long-term security.
He said it was important for all countries, but particularly Arab states, to be supportive of the two-state solution.
"I am confident that we can move this forward if all parties are ready to meet their obligations," he said.
 | WEST BANK SETTLEMENTS Construction of settlements began in 1967, shortly after the Six Day War Some 280,000 Israelis now live in the 121 officially-recognised settlements in the West Bank A further 190,000 Israelis live in settlements in Palestinian East Jerusalem The largest West Bank settlement is Ma'ale Adumim, where more than 30,000 people were living in 2005 There are a further 102 unauthorised outposts in the West Bank which are not officially recognised by Israel The population of West Bank settlements has been growing at a rate of 5-6% since 2001 Source: Peace Now |
Mr Abbas said the need for progress in the stalled process was urgent.
He added that "time is of the essence" - a phrase also used by Mr Obama.
He
said that he had shared ideas with Mr Obama based on the 2003 peace
plan and the 2002 Saudi peace plan supported by the Arab league.
Under
the US-backed 2003 roadmap to peace, Israel is obliged to end all
settlement activity, specifically including natural growth.
The plan also requires the Palestinian Authority to crack down on militants who seek to attack Israelis.
President
Obama said he had been "very clear" in his meeting with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week on the need to "stop
settlements".
Mr Netanyahu later said no new settlements would be built but natural growth in existing settlements should be allowed.
The
BBC's Justin Webb in Washington says Mr Obama's public reiteration of
his view - a day after his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had laid
it out only to have it shot down by the Israeli government - has raised
eyebrows in Washington.
Ahead of his visit to the Middle East
next week, Mr Obama has put Mr Netanyahu on notice that this White
House has a firm agenda of its own, our correspondent adds.
Stalled talks
The
White House meeting between the two leaders is part of an effort by the
Obama administration to restart stalled peace talks.
Mr Obama
has already met King Abdullah of Jordan and Mr Netanyahu. He plans to
meet Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo on 4 June.
Earlier
on Thursday, Mrs Clinton said Washington was pushing for a two-state
solution in the Middle East as it was in the "best interests" of both
the Palestinians and Israelis.
Speaking after a dinner with Mr Abbas, she said: "We believe strongly in a two-state solution."
However,
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said on Thursday that Israel
would continue to allow some construction in West Bank settlements
despite US calls for a freeze on its work.
He said the fate of the settlements should be decided in peace talks with the Palestinians.
