Latvia’s government resigns amid economic crisis
The Associated Press Fri, Feb 20, 2009 (5:57 a.m.) Latvia's president says the Baltic country's center-right coalition government has resigned. President Valdis Zatlers says he accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis and his administration. Friday's announcement came after the two largest coalition parties urged Godmanis to step down. The move follows weeks of political instability as the Latvian economy nosedives after years of strong growth. International lenders including the EU, the International Monetary Fund and Nordic countries have pledged euro7.5 billion (US$9.5 billion) in financial assistance to help Latvia recover.

Major wood sources: Cambodia] HANOI, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam plans to earn revenue of 3.2 billion U.S. dollars from wood products exports this year, up from 2.8 billion U.S. dollars over 2008 despite difficulties fueled by the global economic crisis, the local newspaper New Hanoi reported Monday. To slash difficulties for the country's wood exporters, Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade urged local wood processing and exporters to ensure a stable supply of raw materials instead of the imported ones to reduce production costs. At present, Vietnam's major wood sources are in Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia and Indonesia, whose governments are narrowing wood materials exports. Simultaneously, the domestic wood industry needs to raise competitiveness by stepping up investment in technologies and equipment, said the ministry. Vietnam's biggest importers for wood products are the United States, European countries and Japan. 116 UN MEMBER COUNTRIES CALLING VIETNAM TO CEASE HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA.
