TIRANA, May 5 (Xinhua) -- Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who is also the ruling Socialist Party (SP) leader Cheap Jordan Shoes For Sale , announced Friday that he had asked the SP candidate running in the local by-elections in the western town of Kavaja to pull out of the race.


Albania was scheduled to hold by-mayoral elections on May 7 in Kavaja, but the opposition decided to stay out of the election process and warned of massive protests.


Rama said that his decision was made to prevent any attempt to destabilize the situation in Kavaja, and vowed not to allow such a thing to happen.

SEOUL, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- South Korea posted a current account surplus for 53 straight months through July on faster fall in imports than exports, central bank data showed on Thursday.


Current account surplus, the broadest measure of trade in goods and services, reached 8.71 billion U.S. dollars in July, staying in the black since March 2013, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK).

Exports, which account for about half of the export-driven economy, slumped 10 percent from a year earlier to 42.51 billion dollars in July, while imports tumbled 15.1 percent to 31.7 billion dollars.


Trade surplus for goods amounted to 10.81 billion dollars in July, down from a 12.71 billion-dollar surplus in the previous month.


Display panel exports tumbled 26.5 percent in July from a year ago. Shipments of oil products declined 10.4 percent, with those for cars and auto parts sliding 11.9 percent.


Services account balance, which measures the flow of travel, transport costs and royalties, logged a deficit of 1.53 billion dollars in July, expanding from a 1.38 billion-dollar deficit in June.


Travel account deficit expanded to 1.28 billion dollars in July from the previous month as more residents wen.
