L’addio a Corrado, veterinario italiano in Australia dal 1969

MELBOURNE – E’ scomparso il 23 novembre scorso a Melbourne, dove dal 1969 viveva ed esercitava la professione di medico veterinario, il dr. Corrado Cimati (nella foto, con la moglie Gina). Era nato a Paganica (L’Aquila) nel 1935, il prossimo gennaio avrebbe compiuto 87 anni. Dai sessantenni in su tutti a Paganica lo ricordano per la sua corporatura atletica, l’altezza superiore alla media di allora, la giovialità, il sorriso pronto e quel suo fascino da attore cinematografico, invero mai tentato sul set ma che tanto piaceva alle donne della sua età e anche alle altre.

Why Pakistan opted out of Prez Biden’s Summit for Democracy?

As China and Bangladesh were not invited to the US President Joe Biden’s Summit for Democracy, Pakistan did not join being invited. Apparently Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan did not receive any phone call since President Biden has taken office. The Pakistan government has chosen not participate, but Wednesday Islamabad said that it was “thankful” to the US government for the invite. This summit is being held for the first time on 8-10 December, with countries participating virtually.
