While on the campaign trail, I heard the views of a number of heads of state and ministries of health and have met several more since then.

Both heads of state agreed to further mutually beneficial cooperation and push bilateral friendly cooperative relations for sound and in-depth development.

And finally, two key Asian heads of state are ailing, with the question of who and what will come after them far from settled.

But unlike in some nations, where heads of state or their representatives are empowered to accept subsequent treaties, no treaty can become U.S. law without the Senate’s blessing.

In some parliamentary systems, parliament may be dissolved by the head of state and new elections ordered.
