ROME， March 15 (Xinhua) -- The upper house of the Italian parliament on Wednesday rejected a vote of no-confidence in one of the ministers in the center-left Democratic Party (PD) cabinet led by Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni.


Senators voted 161 against and 52 in favor of the motion， filed by opposition Five Star Movement (M5S) against Sports Minister Luca Lotti， after the official became involved in a corruption scandal.


Lotti is under investigation for allegedly tipping the managing director of the national agency for public contracts (CONSIP)， Luigi Marroni， about an inquiry launched into the agency's activities.


The probe was launched by prosecutors in Naples， and transferred to Rome at the beginning of 2017. It focused on a public contract worth 2.7 billion euros (2.89 billion U.S. dollars) for which a CONSIP executive would have been bribed.


Lotti strongly denied any wrongdoing on Wednesday. "Facts are clear: I have never warned engineer Marroni， or any other person， about a probe into the CONSIP， and I have never leaked any information about such probe，" the minister told senators before the voting session.


CONSIP's head Marroni， however， had indeed told prosecutors the minister had tipped him off about the investigation， and this had allowed him to get rid of wiretaps put in his office.


The scandal might have major repercussions on Italy's politics. Lotti is considered the right-hand man of former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi， who resigned in late 2016 after suffering a crushing defeat in a constitutional referendum.


Renzi will strive to regain the position of party head in primaries scheduled in late April， in order to lead it to the next elections in early 2018.


The probe has tarnished his and PD's credibility overall. The father of the former prime minister， Tiziano Renzi， has been put under investigation for alleged influence peddling. Prosecutors suspect him to have lobbied the CONSIP on behalf of a Naples-based businessman， who was arrested on charges of corruption on March 1.

UNITED NATIONS， Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations and the African Union (AU) has signed two agreements in order to further strengthen cooperation between the two international organizations in the area of peacekeeping support， UN officials said here Wednesday.


The agreements were signed in New York late Tuesday by the UN under-secretary-general for field support， Atul Khare， and the African Union Commission deputy chairperson， Erastus J.O. Mwencha， the officials said.


The first agreement paves the way for the participation of AU personnel in an administration and resource training program designed to foster mission support leadership and technical skills as well as nurture career development， said the officials.


Khare and Mwencha also agreed to establish a pilot staff exchange program related to peace support operations. The agreement allows staff members from both organizations to be deployed in each others' respective headquarters for three months to work on peacekeeping logistics， technology， financial and administrative matters.


Speaking at the signing ceremony， Mwencha said， ""The African Union is encouraged by the continued collaboration with the United Nations. This staff exchange and knowledge sharing initiative is particularly significant as it will enhance our collaboration efforts and augment the value derived from the face-to-face interactions between our staff members.""


""In today's virtual world， face-to face knowledge sharing is a rarity and at AU we welcome and value the enrichment that this intimate approach will offer to our continued collaboration efforts，"" he said.


For his part， Khare said， ""African peacekeeping contributions are the backbone of our operations. We are committed to strengthening our partnership which enables effective delivery by the African Union for our collective benefit and to reinforcing the operational benefits of cooperation.""


""We look forward to also benefitting from the experience of the African Union through the deployment of their staff members in the Department of Field Support，"" said the senior UN official.


Both initiatives were developed by the UN Department of Field Support as a response to an African Union request to strengthening their capacity in peace operations support.
