The 19th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit to open in Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek, Dushanbe to host the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) summit, the handshaking anniversary between Trump and Kim, and the race to succeed UK's Theresa May is heating up.

Democrats will maintain pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump in the week beginning June 10 with a House judiciary committee hearing on the Mueller report and votes on holding Bill Barr and Don McGahn in contempt of Congress. 

The party is ultimately wrestling – and internally split – on whether to pursue impeachment of Trump. 

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump held an unprecedented summit on June 12 last year in Singapore and pledged to establish new relations and a peace regime on the Korean peninsula. 

The meeting, which came after months of escalating tensions marked by nuclear and missile tests, new sanctions and "fire and fury" rhetoric, yielded a short-on-details joint statement that was widely seen as "vague" and resulted in little tangible progress. 

The 19th SCO summit will be held from June 13 to 14 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to Kyrgyzstan and attend the summit.

According to Vladimir Norov, the SCO secretary general, the Bishkek summit is expected to sign documents aimed at deepening interaction between regions, strengthen the fight against illicit drug trafficking, establish cooperation in information technologies, environmental protection, health care, and sports.

The Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) summit, slated for June 14 and 15 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan is a platform for enhancing cooperation towards promoting peace, security and stability in Asia.

British Conservative MPs will vote in the first round of the battle to find a new party leader and prime minister on June 13.

May quit as the leader of the Conservatives on June 7, but will remain prime minister in a caretaker capacity until a successor is appointed – a process which the party has said should be completed by the end of July.

Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, his successor Jeremy Hunt, former Brexit minister Dominic Raab and environment minister Michael Gove are among the frontrunners in the contest.

Candidates would then need to win five percent of a vote – or 16 votes – among lawmakers to get through the first round, and then 10 percent to stay in the contest in the second ballot.
