Opposition parties want Mr Abdo to resign and call new elections.

Paraguay has registered more than 165,000 cases of coronavirus and about 3,200 deaths. A steady rise in cases in recent weeks has brought the country's health system to the brink of collapse.

印度太空研究組織(ISRO)和日本宇宙航空研究開發機構(JAXA)合作,預計2023年共同執行登月任務

ISRO And Japan's Space Agency JAXA To Launch Joint Lunar Exploration Mission In 2023
In a major boost for the continually expanding Indo-Japanese ties, the two countries are set to launch a joint lunar mission called 'Lunar Polar Exploration' under which the apex space research agencies of both nations, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will combine forces, reports Times of India.
ISRO and JAXA will together be attempting to put a lander and a rover on the Moon's surface for the first time. The mission will be launched after 2023 and as per JAXA's diagrams, it is expected to build the overall landing module and rover, while ISRO will be building the lander system. Also, the mission will be launched from Japan on JAXA's designated H3 rocket.
The idea of a united lunar mission of this kind between India and Japan was first made public in 2017 in Bengaluru during a multi-space agencies' meeting. Later when Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi visited Japan in 2018, the idea made it to the inter-governmental discussions. And now, earlier this year, a pre-project team was established to develop a comprehensive management plan for the mission and to investigate the spacecraft system requirements and other relevant matters.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that as of now, ISRO is engaged in the preparation for the nation's maiden human spaceflight programme 'Gaganyaan' which is aimed to be achieved by 2022 when India will complete its 75 years of Independence.
