Trump Mahu Selesaikan Konflik Ukraine Dengan Putin

Trump Mahu Selesaikan Konflik Ukraine Dengan Putin

December 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang terpilih mendakwa bahawa Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin ingin bertemu dengan beliau “secepat mungkin” Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang terpilih, Donald Trump, telah menyatakan tekadnya untuk menyelesaikan konflik di Ukraine. Beliau menyatakan bahawa beliau sedang menunggu perbincangan dengan Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin, yang juga menunjukkan minat untuk bertemu “secepat mungkin,” menurut Trump. Bercakap di konvensyen Turning Point’s AmericaFest pada hari Ahad, Trump menjanjikan tindakan eksekutif yang tegas bermula pada hari pertama beliau kembali ke Pejabat Oval, mengutamakan isu-isu domestik dan cabaran keselamatan global. “Presiden Putin berkata bahawa beliau ingin bertemu dengan saya secepat mungkin. Jadi kita perlu menunggu ini, tetapi kita mesti menamatkan perang itu,” kata Trump kepada hadirin. Presiden yang terpilih itu menggambarkan konflik yang sedang berlaku sebagai bencana kemanusiaan yang “mengerikan” dan belum pernah terjadi sebelum ini, sambil menambah bahawa ia telah mengakibatkan “berjuta-juta tentera” terkorban. Moscow menganggarkan bahawa tentera Ukraine kehilangan lebih daripada setengah juta anggota tentera pada tahun 2024 sahaja, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan kerugian melebihi satu juta sejak peningkatan konflik pada tahun 2022, menurut Menteri Pertahanan Rusia Andrey Belousov. Kiev mendakwa bahawa kerugian Rusia melebihi 750,000, dengan kedua-dua pihak saling menuduh menyembunyikan jumlah korban sebenar. Trump sekali lagi mendakwa bahawa konflik di Ukraine, serta serangan Hamas ke atas Israel pada 7 Oktober, boleh dielakkan semasa kepresidenannya. “Perang itu tidak akan berlaku jika saya menjadi presiden,” katanya, sambil menambah bahawa landskap keselamatan global juga akan berbeza sekali. Trump telah berulang kali menegaskan bahawa beliau boleh menyelesaikan konflik di Ukraine dalam masa “24 jam” selepas memegang jawatan dengan melaksanakan strategi yang beliau panggil “kedamaian melalui kekuatan.” Walau bagaimanapun, beliau tidak memberikan butiran khusus tentang bagaimana beliau akan mencapai ini. Putin sebelum ini menyatakan bahawa komen Trump tentang menamatkan konflik “perlu diberi perhatian” dan telah menunjukkan kesediaan untuk terlibat dalam perbincangan dengan Presiden yang terpilih. “Sekiranya terdapat peluang untuk mengadakan pertemuan dengan Presiden Donald Trump yang baru dipilih, saya yakin akan ada banyak perkara yang perlu dibincangkan,” kata Putin pada hari Khamis, sambil menyatakan bahawa beliau tidak tahu bila pertemuan sedemikian boleh diadakan. “Saya belum bercakap dengannya selama lebih empat tahun. Sudah tentu, saya bersedia untuk bercakap bila-bila masa; saya akan bersedia untuk bertemu dengannya jika dia mahu.” Semasa sidang akhbar hujung tahunnya pada hari Khamis, Putin menegaskan semula bahawa Moscow terbuka untuk berunding dengan Kiev tanpa sebarang syarat awal, kecuali yang telah dipersetujui sebelum ini di Istanbul pada tahun 2022. Perjanjian ini termasuk status neutral dan tidak bergabung untuk Ukraine dan beberapa sekatan terhadap penggunaan senjata asing. Beliau juga menekankan bahawa sebarang rundingan mesti mengambil kiraArtikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

AS, UK melancarkan serangan udara ke Yaman selama dua hari berturut-turut – media

AS, UK melancarkan serangan udara ke Yaman selama dua hari berturut-turut – media

December 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Jet pejuang AS terhempas akibatnya, dengan pihak tentera mendakwa insiden itu adalah kes tembakan sendiri Pasukan AS dan UK telah menjalankan serangan udara baharu di wilayah Hudaydah, Yaman dan ibu kotanya, Sanaa, menurut laporan saluran Sabaa yang berafiliasi dengan Houthi pada hari Ahad. Tindakan ketenteraan itu berlaku sejurus selepas pasukan Houthi mendakwa telah menyasarkan kapal pengangkut pesawat AS USS Harry S. Truman dengan dron. Tiada pengesahan rasmi mengenai serangan Ahad itu daripada Washington atau London. Pihak Houthi mendakwa usaha mereka telah mengakibatkan terhempasnya pesawat F/A-18 Super Hornet sebagai tindak balas terhadap serangan sebelumnya oleh pasukan AS dan UK ke atas Sanaa pada Sabtu malam. Menurut jurucakap tentera Yahya Saree, ia “telah digagalkan melalui operasi ketenteraan strategik yang menyasarkan” kapal pengangkut pesawat AS USS Harry S. Truman dan beberapa kapal pemusnah yang menyertainya. Operasi itu menggunakan lapan peluru berpandu jelajah dan 17 dron, kata Saree sebelum ini pada hari Ahad. Dakwaan itu dipertikaikan oleh Komando Pusat AS (CENTCOM), yang mengaitkan kehilangan pesawat itu kepada insiden “tembakan sendiri” yang melibatkan USS Gettysburg. Siasatan sedang dijalankan untuk menentukan keadaan sebenar kejadian itu. Menurut CENTCOM, pada hari Sabtu, pasukan AS telah menjalankan serangan udara ke atas “kemudahan penyimpanan peluru berpandu dan pusat kawalan dan arahan” yang dikendalikan oleh Houthi. Mereka juga menembak jatuh beberapa kenderaan udara tanpa pemandu (UAV) dan satu peluru berpandu jelajah anti-kapal di atas Laut Merah. Pihak Houthi, kumpulan Islam Syiah yang mengawal sebahagian besar Yaman, telah menyerang kapal dagang yang dikaitkan dengan Israel di Laut Merah sejak Oktober tahun lepas, sebagai tindak balas kepada pengeboman Gaza oleh Israel. Sejak Israel mengisytiharkan perang terhadap Hamas di Gaza, kumpulan Yaman itu telah melancarkan peluru berpandu atau dron ke atas lebih 80 kapal dagang. Eskalasi ini menyusuli beberapa siri serbuan maut oleh Hamas ke wilayah Israel. Pada mulanya, pihak Houthi menyasarkan kapal yang dikaitkan dengan Israel, tetapi selepas serangan udara Anglo-Amerika pada Januari, mereka meluaskan serangan mereka untuk memasukkan kapal AS dan UK juga. Pihak Houthi telah menyasarkan kapal perang Barat di rantau ini dan menegaskan bahawa mereka telah melancarkan peluru berpandu terus ke Israel beberapa kali, menggambarkan tindakan mereka sebagai tanda solidariti dengan rakyat Palestin.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Orban Salahkan Migrasi untuk Serangan Maut di Jerman “`

Orban Salahkan Migrasi untuk Serangan Maut di Jerman “`

December 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Hungary tidak seharusnya membenarkan dirinya menjadi negara di mana insiden sebegini menjadi kebiasaan, kata perdana menteri dalam sidang akhbar Perdana Menteri Hungary, Viktor Orban, telah menyalahkan penghijrahan haram dan dasar-dasar EU bagi serangan maut pada Jumaat di pasar Krismas di Magdeburg, Jerman, di mana seorang lelaki kelahiran Arab Saudi memandu keretanya ke tengah-tengah orang ramai, membunuh lima orang dan mencederakan lebih 200 orang lagi. Bercakap dalam sidang akhbar akhir tahun pada hari Sabtu, Orban menyatakan solidariti dengan keluarga mangsa dan “rakyat Jerman secara amnya.” “Ramai orang di seluruh Eropah Barat cuba menafikan hubungan antara penghijrahan besar-besaran dan perbuatan keganasan,” katanya. “Kebenaran yang menyedihkan ialah sebelum krisis penghijrahan, serangan keji sebegini tidak berlaku di Eropah. Sekarang ia berlaku.” Orban berhujah bahawa “tiada keraguan” tentang hubungan antara penghijrahan haram dan perbuatan keganasan. Beliau menegaskan bahawa Hungary mesti belajar daripada peristiwa sebegini untuk mencegah insiden serupa daripada menjadi kebiasaan. Sejak krisis pendatang 2015, kerajaan Orban telah melaksanakan langkah-langkah ketat untuk mengekang penghijrahan, termasuk pagar sempadan di sepanjang sempadan selatan Hungary dengan Serbia dan Croatia dan penolakan kuota pelarian yang diamanatkan oleh EU. Dasar-dasar ini telah membawa kepada cabaran undang-undang, termasuk denda €200 juta daripada Mahkamah Keadilan Eropah tahun ini kerana tidak mematuhi peraturan suaka EU. Pihak berkuasa Jerman telah menahan seorang pakar psikiatri kelahiran Arab Saudi berusia 50 tahun, yang dikenal pasti oleh beberapa saluran media sebagai Taleb A., berhubung dengan serangan itu. Suspek, yang telah tinggal di Jerman selama hampir 20 tahun, dilaporkan dikenali kerana pandangan anti-Islamnya yang radikal. Penyiasat sedang meneroka pelbagai motif, termasuk keganasan, walaupun tiada kesimpulan telah dibuat. Laporan menunjukkan Arab Saudi telah beberapa kali memberi amaran kepada pihak berkuasa Jerman tentang Taleb A. dan meminta ekstradisinya atas tuduhan keganasan dan pemerdagangan manusia. Jerman didakwa tidak memberi respons kepada permintaan ini. Serangan Magdeburg adalah yang terbaru dalam siri insiden yang menyasarkan pasar Krismas di Eropah sejak dekad yang lalu. Pada tahun 2016, serangan di Berlin menggunakan lori telah membunuh 12 orang, dan serangan serupa yang lain pada tahun-tahun berikutnya telah menimbulkan kebimbangan berterusan tentang keselamatan acara awam semasa musim perayaan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Orang Itali Protes Pembunuhan Jeneral Rusia oleh Ukraine yang Dianggap Sebagai Akta Pengganas (VIDEO)

Orang Itali Protes Pembunuhan Jeneral Rusia oleh Ukraine yang Dianggap Sebagai Akta Pengganas (VIDEO)

December 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Penunjuk perasaan di bandar Genoa telah menuduh EU dan NATO menyokong keganasan Kiev Berpuluh-puluh orang turun ke jalanan di bandar Genoa, Itali untuk memberi penghormatan kepada Jeneral Rusia Igor Kirillov dan mengutuk EU dan NATO kerana menyokong Kiev semasa konflik dengan Rusia. Kirillov terkorban dalam serangan pengganas Ukraine awal minggu ini. Kirillov, yang mengetuai Pasukan Perlindungan Radiologi, Kimia, dan Biologi Rusia, dan pembantunya, Leftenan Kolonel Ilya Polikarpov, dibunuh oleh alat letupan buatan sendiri yang diletakkan pada skuter elektrik yang diletakkan di luar sebuah bangunan kediaman di Moscow pada Selasa pagi. Keesokan harinya, seorang lelaki dari Uzbekistan telah ditangkap kerana didakwa melakukan serangan itu. Menurut Jawatankuasa Siasatan Rusia, suspek mengaku bahawa dia telah direkrut oleh perkhidmatan perisikan Ukraine untuk membunuh jeneral itu sebagai balasan sebanyak $100,000 dan laluan keluar ke negara Eropah. Rakaman yang dibuat semasa perhimpunan di Genoa menunjukkan penunjuk perasaan membaling bendera EU dan NATO ke atas jalan raya dan memijak-mijaknya. Mereka memaparkan sepanduk yang menyatakan, antara lain, bahawa Itali berterima kasih kepada Kirillov atas khidmatnya dan mengingati jeneral Rusia, yang menjadi “mangsa keganasan oleh Ukraine dan NATO.” Ramai juga membawa bendera kebangsaan Itali dan Rusia. Replika Panji Kemenangan, yang merupakan simbol kemenangan Soviet ke atas Nazi Jerman semasa Perang Dunia Kedua, juga dilihat dipamerkan. Semasa tempoh perkhidmatan beliau, Kirillov kerap menuduh Amerika Syarikat menjalankan penyelidikan biologi sulit di bawah alasan bantuan kemanusiaan dan kerjasama ketenteraan di Ukraine dan negara-negara lain. Beliau juga menyalahkan Kiev kerana menggunakan senjata kimia yang dilarang di medan perang dalam konflik dengan Moscow. Pada hari Khamis, Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin menggambarkan pembunuhan Kirillov sebagai serangan pengganas yang dilakukan melalui cara “yang membahayakan orang ramai.” “Rejim di Kiev telah berulang kali melakukan jenayah sedemikian – serangan pengganas terhadap ramai rakyat Rusia,” kata Putin, sambil menambah bahawa “kita tidak pernah mendengar kecaman terhadap serangan pengganas sedemikian” di Barat.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

EU Berisiko Kehilangan Bekalan Gas dari Qatar – Menteri Tenaga

EU Berisiko Kehilangan Bekalan Gas dari Qatar – Menteri Tenaga

December 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Negara Teluk itu mungkin akan menghentikan eksport gas ke blok tersebut jika dikenakan denda pelepasan karbon oleh Brussels Qatar akan menghentikan penghantaran gas ke EU jika negara-negara anggota menguatkuasakan undang-undang baharu mengenai pelepasan karbon, kata Menteri Tenaga negara Teluk itu, Saad al-Kaabi kepada Financial Times (FT). Qatar telah menjadi pembekal penting kepada blok itu selepas Brussels bertekad untuk melepaskan diri daripada gas Rusia berikutan peningkatan konflik Ukraine pada tahun 2022. Jika mana-mana negara EU mengenakan penalti ke atas Qatar di bawah Arahan Ketekunan Wajar Kemampanan Korporat blok itu, Doha akan menghentikan eksport gas asli cecair (LNG)nya ke blok itu, kata al-Kaabi kepada akhbar itu pada hari Ahad. QatarEnergy, syarikat tenaga milik negara, mempunyai kontrak LNG jangka panjang dengan beberapa negara EU, termasuk Jerman, Perancis, Itali, dan Belanda. Peraturan ketekunan wajar korporat EU, yang diterima pakai pada Mei 2023, adalah sebahagian daripada strategi blok itu untuk mencapai pelepasan sifar bersih menjelang 2050. Undang-undang itu menyatakan bahawa ketidakpatuhan boleh dikenakan denda sehingga 5% daripada pendapatan tahunan global syarikat. Al-Kaabi berhujah bahawa denda sedemikian akan memberi impak yang besar kepada pendapatan QatarEnergy, yang secara langsung menyokong negara Qatar dan rakyatnya. ”Jika kesnya ialah saya kehilangan 5% daripada pendapatan yang saya hasilkan dengan pergi ke Eropah, saya tidak akan pergi ke Eropah… Saya tidak berbohong,” kata Kaabi. “Saya tidak boleh kehilangan wang sebanyak itu – dan tiada siapa yang akan menerima kehilangan wang sebanyak itu,” katanya. Ia mustahil bagi pengeluar tenaga seperti QatarEnergy untuk sejajar dengan sasaran sifar bersih EU seperti yang dinyatakan oleh arahan itu kerana jumlah hidrokarbon yang dihasilkan, jelas menteri itu. Jika dikenakan penalti yang tinggi, QatarEnergy tidak akan melanggar kontrak LNGnya tetapi akan cuba mencari jalan perundangan. ”Saya tidak akan menerima bahawa kami dikenakan penalti,” katanya. “Saya akan berhenti menghantar gas ke Eropah.” Berikutan peningkatan konflik Ukraine pada Februari 2022, EU mula menggantikan gas paip Rusia dengan LNG yang lebih mahal dari Timur Tengah dan AS. Blok itu masih mendapat gas paip dari Rusia melalui rangkaian transit Ukraine tetapi perjanjian antara Moscow dan Kiev dijangka tamat pada 31 Disember. Pihak berkuasa di Kiev telah berulang kali menegaskan bahawa perjanjian itu tidak akan diperbaharui.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

By the end of June 2023, China has signed more than 230 cooperation documents on jointly building the "Belt and Road" with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations. At present, China has launched "Chinese+Vocational Education" characteristic projects in more than 40 countries and regions, and more than 400 vocational colleges in mainland China and foreign educational institutions have cooperated in running schools. The number of full-time students studying in China has reached 17000. China's vocational education has established stable connections with over 70 countries and organizations. In the process of exchange, vocational colleges in the mainland and universities in Europe, Africa, Thailand and other countries along the Belt and Road have carried out vocational education projects. National Association of Vocational Education of China has always played an important role in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. Hong Kong's vocational education has a flexible education and training mechanism, an open market school running mode, and an international talent training orientation. It has prominent regional advantages in the international exchange and cooperation of vocational education along the “Belt and Road”.Mr. Feng Dajun, Deputy Director General of National Association of Vocational Education of ChinaDr. Wong Yau Kar stated that from the 1980s to 2019, vocational colleges have trained over 900,000 graduates from various industries in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong SAR government has established a dedicated department to promote the development of vocational education. The Vocational Training Council (VTC) was established in 1982. The government is also vigorously promoting the establishment of the "University of Applied Sciences"(UAS), and the Metropolitan University of Hong Kong has become a UAS. The characteristic of vocational education in Hong Kong is its high degree of internationalization, and the use of English is the key to international integration. It is suggested that the development of vocational education should be based on future needs, the integration of industry and education, school enterprise cooperation, and the construction of a connected education system from middle school to university and even master's degree.Professor Zhao Pengfei stated that apprenticeship is the best way to achieve industry education integration and school enterprise cooperation. The Chinese government policy requires all regions to actively carry out modern apprenticeship pilot programs through school enterprise joint enrollment and training. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security both support the apprenticeship system. There are more than 1000 pilot projects for modern apprenticeship system in China, with 2480 cooperative enterprises, benefiting more than 100000 students (apprentices). The pilot project for new apprenticeship system in enterprises has trained more than 20000 employees, with a clear requirement to train 1 million new apprentices from 2019 to 2021. The important achievements of modern apprenticeship system pilot are government policies, industry standards, and school enterprise models. Modern apprenticeship system is a "dual education", "dual identity", "work study alternation", and "job training". It refers to “school+enterprise”, “student+apprenticeship”, “learning+work”, and “education+training” respectively. The development of apprenticeship system vertically connects the primary, middle, and high-level apprenticeship systems, and horizontally connects them to the integration of general education and vocational education.Dr. Liu Yi Man said that Hong Kong acted as a super connector to promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" vocational education. Promote China's vocational education to go overseas and help build an education powerhouse, with Hong Kong as the first stop, serving as a super connector for "going out " and "bringing in". Especially in the field of internationalization and artificial intelligence, it is very important. In the future, our country's vocational education will have great potential in international talent joint training, collaborative development of curriculum standards, and the clustering effect of overseas education. The continuous evolution of artificial intelligence technology has brought tremendous changes to the production models of various industries.Mr. David Leung Yiu Fai said that MTR Academy was established in 2016 to cooperate with the national the Belt and Road Initiative. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTR Corporation and one of the earliest corporate colleges in Hong Kong. Our vision is to become a recognized center for railway management and technical education and research in the railway industry in Hong Kong, mainland China, and overseas. Through the MTR Academy, there are also master's programs in rail transit, joint courses with overseas universities, and community participation. Currently developing consulting services for the Middle East market.Professor Li Wai Chi said that the last era was the Internet+ era. The next era is the era of Al, make good use of Al, comprehensively popularize artificial intelligence knowledge, and improve students' artificial intelligence literacy. Relying on the platform of vocational colleges, we can use Unicom x financing to implement the policies and measures of different government departments on strengthening science and technology, education and talent. Colleges and enterprises in the two places can rely on the country and enterprises to jointly build the Belt and Road development and provide formal vocational skills training according to their human needs at different stages of development. Colleges and relevant administrative departments in both regions will jointly develop and construct an international vocational education and qualification system with Chinese characteristics.President Chris Cheung Kin Chung of CLP Power Academy stated that the title is "Power to Move Upward". The institute is not only studying for colleagues at the CLP Power, but can also be read to public, all students are part-time students. There are currently multiple courses, QF architecture, jointly offered with universities. Due to the fact that CLP Power is the most professional in the enterprise/industry, but not the most specialized in teaching, it is best to cooperate with universities to provide scenes for students to understand operations. Collaboration with VTC, some transitional courses, these courses form an ecosystem. Entering the mechanical and electrical industry, seeking opportunities to move upstream is to obtain a diploma (educational background). In addition to the diploma, there is also an exemption from the electrician license (industry qualification), which creates an ecological environment. Partners include the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications, and the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.Dr. Liu Yung Chau expressed his gratitude during his closing remarks at the symposium. 2024 is the most important year in the development of the COEAHK. The inauguration ceremony was taking place on 12 January 2024. Both governments attach great importance to it, and Chief Secretary for Administration of HKSAR Mr. Chan Kwok-ki, Dr. Choi Yuk-lin, Secretary for Education, and Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, all attended. The leaders of the National Association of Vocational Education of China visited Hong Kong this time, with the theme of the forum, "Building the Belt and Road through Hong Kong's Vocational Education Services," reflect a commitment to the strategic importance of vocational education in the Belt and Road Initiative. The first three speakers including Deputy Director General Feng Dajun, Dr. Wong Yau Kar, and Professor Zhao Pengfei giving keynote speeches from the three dimensions of "Vocational Education Going overseas", "Vocational Education Jointly Building the the Belt and Road" and "Integration of Industry and Education". Mr. David Leung Yiu Fai, Professor Li Wai Chi, President Chris Cheung Kin Chung and Dr. Liu Yi Man participated in the symposium to promote vocational education in Hong Kong and participate in the national strategy of the Belt and Road from the perspective of enterprises and educational institutions.Group Photo: From Left Dr. Wong Yu Kar, Madam Wang Wai Ching, ProfessorWong Yuk Shan, Dr. Liu Yung Chau, Mr. Feng Dajun, Madam Wu Cheng,Dr. Liu YiMan, Professor Reggie Kwan Ching Ping Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Summit Group Responds to White Paper Citing Governance Issues in Bangladesh’s Power and Energy Sector

Summit Group Responds to White Paper Citing Governance Issues in Bangladesh’s Power and Energy Sector

December 23, 2024
Dhaka, Bangladesh, Dec 23, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Summit Group, Bangladesh’s largest private sector power generation company, has issued clarifications in response to a recent draft of a government White Paper, and said it welcomes transparency and remains committed to the highest levels of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) in the country.Bangladesh media have reported widely on a draft of the ‘White Paper on the State of the Bangladesh Economy’ released in recent weeks by the interim government led by the Honourable Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus. The document said Bangladesh’s power and energy sector faced challenges such as excess capacity, dependence on imports of gas and under-development of domestic natural gas resources.Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the Singapore-registered parent of Summit Corporation Limited (“SCL”) – the leading foreign direct investor in Bangladesh’s power sector – has responded to statements in White Paper which referred to SCL’s assets or subsidiaries.1) The draft White Paper referred to Summit Group as being one of the “selected large conglomerates” which enjoyed “exemptions on project income” and “exemption on income arising from power generation”.SPIL said these exemptions cited were part of a broader policy initiative that applied to the entire power and energy sector in the country. “The policy, i.e. Private Sector Power Generation Policy framed in 1996, designed to attract investment and meet Bangladesh’s critical energy needs, encompassed approximately 104 projects. These exemptions were not exclusive to Summit Group but were reflective of a sector-wide strategy to enhance Bangladesh’s energy capacity to ensure sustainable development,” SPIL said.2) The “Other Common Malpractice” section in the White Paper alleged that contract conditions were changed after it was awarded, and singled out the Summit Meghnaghat 335 dual fuel power plant for switching from heavy fuel oil (“HFO”) to high-speed diesel (“HSD”) without changing capacity payment or heat rate as an example.The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation, the supplier of energy oil, was unable to provide the specified oil under the original agreement and instead reached an understanding with the Bangladesh Power Development Board to supply alternative oil, SPIL said.“In order to maintain operations and fulfil its commitments, Summit Meghnaghat was obliged to accept this change but remains prepared to accept oil in accordance with the original tender conditions,” SPIL said.Through SCL, the Summit Group operates 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW or approximately 17% of the total installed private power generation capacity in the country of 173 million people.3) The White Paper listed Summit Power Limited among 83 companies listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange that had been “unfairly excluded” from certain regulatory activities, and said market rigging was endemic in the domestic equity market.“Summit Power Limited has always conducted its affairs with the highest levels of corporate governance. Its Board of Directors comprises eminent and well-respected corporate figures. At no time has the company ever engaged in market rigging,” SPIL said.4) Regarding Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (“FSRU”), which Summit Group operates, the White Paper alleged public funds were misused because Summit supplied LNG at a premium while natural gas reserves were available with the Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation (“Petrobangla”).SPIL said that Summit’s FSRU was not responsible for the supply of gas and, accordingly, has not imported or supplied any gas to date. The long-term supply contract signed between Summit Oil and Shipping Company Limited and Petrobangla was at the lowest price of all contracts awarded at the time, including for OQ Trading and Excelerate Energy (“Excelerate”). In any event, Summit has not yet imported any gas under the long-term supply contract.Further, Summit’s FSRU did not receive any special exemptions, and its daily tariff/charter rate is lower than that of the Moheshkhali Floating LNG owned by Excelerate, the only other FSRU in Bangladesh. The incentives referenced were part of an industry-wide framework that applies to both Excelerate and Summit’s FSRU projects.“As a responsible corporation with a track record of providing energy and power to Bangladesh, Summit Group has always respected and adhered to the laws of both Bangladesh, where SCL operates, as well as Singapore, where SPIL is domiciled,” SPIL said. “We are dedicated to contributing meaningfully to Bangladesh’s growth and prosperity. Our operations in Bangladesh have consistently adhered to all regulations, and we take pride in upholding the highest standards of integrity and governance,” SPIL said.“Being a dependable partner in nation building, we remain open to dialogue with all stakeholders,” it added. “We invite committee members preparing the White Paper to engage and seek clarification where needed. As a substantial foreign direct investor, the Summit Group has always conducted its affairs in a transparent manner while striving to support the long-term development of Bangladesh,” it added.About Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”)SPIL is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh, reflecting 17% of the country's total private installed capacity and 7% of the country’s total installed capacity. Summit owns and operates a total of 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW. It also operates Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and LNG import terminal with daily regasification capacity of 500 million cubic feet.SPIL is a privately-held Singapore-registered company that is 78%-owned by the family of Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan. In 2016 SPIL acquired Bangladesh-registered Summit Corporation Ltd (SCL) in a transaction that was financed primarily by International Finance Corporation, the World Bank’s private sector arm. SCL holds various infrastructure assets in Bangladesh. In 2019, JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest power generation company, acquired a 22%-stake in SPIL and remains its second largest shareholder to date.Learn more at: www.summitpowerinternational.com Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688Email: summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The redesigned card incorporates features that address the growing adoption of contactless payments and uses recycled plastics, underscoring the Company’s dedication to integrating sustainability practices throughout its operations.In terms of technology development, following the upgrade of its credit application processing platform, virtual credit card functionality was launched within the “AEON HK” mobile application (the “Mobile App”). This feature enables customers to make purchases immediately upon card approval and activation, eliminating waiting time and the need to visit a branch.Looking ahead, the Group will prioritise sales and receivables growth through overseas and online spending, while refining credit assessment and control methods to maintain a sustainable asset quality portfolio and expedite decision-making processes. Marketing efforts will leverage mass promotions and targeted broadcast channels to increase market penetration and expand market share, particularly among the younger demographic. These efforts will include gamification and incentive programmes to stimulate consumer spending. The launch of new and advanced mobile payment products and a self-service branch concept will further enhance the customer experience and maintain a competitive edge.Mr Wei Aiguo, Managing Director of AEON Credit, said, “Despite the moderation in Hong Kong’s economic recovery momentum, we are pleased to have delivered a continued growth in sales and receivables in the first nine months of FY2024. We remain committed to providing exceptional credit card services that meet evolving customer needs and plan to expand our customer base by offering innovative and customised products. With our adaptability, strong liquidity, robust balance sheet, and proven management expertise, the Group is well-equipped to capitalise on the significant opportunities presented by the growing consumer finance market.

AS mungkin keluar WHO pada hari pertama Trump – FT

AS mungkin keluar WHO pada hari pertama Trump – FT

December 22, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Ahli pasukan presiden terpilih dilaporkan merancang untuk mengumumkan pengeluaran daripada agensi kesihatan PBB pada 20 Januari Pasukan peralihan Presiden Terpilih AS Donald Trump berharap untuk menarik balik negara itu daripada Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) pada hari pertama pentadbiran baharu, sekali gus mengurangkan salah satu aliran tunai utama agensi itu, menurut laporan Financial Times (FT), memetik pakar kesihatan. Ahli pasukan Trump memberitahu pakar-pakar bahawa mereka berhasrat untuk mengumumkan pengeluaran daripada badan kesihatan global itu pada hari perasmian, 20 Januari, tulis FT pada hari Ahad. Ada di dalam pasukan itu dilaporkan mahu AS kekal dalam WHO tetapi menolak untuk memperbaharuiinya. Bagaimanapun, satu lagi kumpulan, yang berharap untuk memutuskan hubungan, dilaporkan memenangi hujah tersebut. Pasukan peralihan mahu Trump menarik diri daripada WHO pada hari pertama kerana “simbolisme” membalikkan langkah hari perasmian Joe Biden sendiri, tulis FT, memetik Ashish Jha, bekas penyelaras tindak balas Covid Rumah Putih kepada Presiden AS. Pada 20 Januari 2021, Biden memulakan semula hubungan dengan badan PBB itu, selepas pendahulunya, Trump, memulakan proses pengeluaran selaras dengan kritikannya terhadap pengendalian pandemik koronavirus oleh WHO pada tahun 2020. ”Amerika akan meninggalkan kekosongan besar dalam pembiayaan dan kepimpinan kesihatan global. Saya tidak nampak sesiapa yang akan mengisi jurang itu,” kata Lawrence Gostin, profesor kesihatan global di Georgetown Law kepada FT. Rancangan untuk menarik diri “pada hari pertama” akan menjadi “bencana”, tambahnya. WHO ialah badan PBB yang bertindak sebagai pihak berkuasa penyelaras mengenai isu kesihatan antarabangsa. Agensi itu mendapat pembiayaannya daripada negara anggota yang membayar yuran serta sumbangan sukarela. AS telah menjadi salah satu penderma terbesar organisasi itu selama beberapa dekad, dan, menurut datanya, kini merupakan penyumbang kedua terbesar di kalangan negara anggotanya. Pada tahun 2020, Trump menuduh WHO berada di bawah kawalan China di tengah-tengah pandemik koronavirus. Presiden itu mendakwa bahawa Beijing telah menekan organisasi itu untuk “mengelirukan dunia” mengenai virus itu dan berjanji untuk mengarahkan dana AS kepada badan amal kesihatan awam global yang lain. Di bawah resolusi Kongres 1948, AS boleh menarik diri daripada WHO tetapi mesti memberi notis setahun dan harus membayar yuran yang belum dijelaskan. Bagaimanapun, pasukan Trump tidak mengulas secara langsung mengenai potensi pengeluaran, kata FT. Pada bulan November, Trump mencalonkan Robert F. Kennedy yang telah lama menjadi skeptik vaksin untuk menjadi Setiausaha Kesihatan dan Perkhidmatan Manusia AS (HHS). RFK Jr. adalah antara pengkritik lantang langkah-langkah tindak balas Covid-19 yang disyorkan WHO yang dikenakan oleh kerajaan di seluruh dunia, iaitu sekatan ketat dan pengenalan vaksin yang dibangunkan dengan pantas. Pencalonan Kennedy masih belum diluluskan oleh Senat.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Arab Saudi amarkan Jerman tentang suspek serangan pasaran Krismas Magdeburg – media “`

Arab Saudi amarkan Jerman tentang suspek serangan pasaran Krismas Magdeburg – media “`

December 22, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Didakwa bahawa Riyadh malah telah meminta ekstradisi suspek pembunuh itu, tetapi tidak mendapat sebarang maklum balas Suspek di sebalik kejadian maut di pasar Krismas di bandar Magdeburg, Jerman, iaitu seorang warga Saudi yang dikenali sebagai Taleb A., telah mempunyai masalah dengan penguat kuasa undang-undang sebelum ini, menurut beberapa saluran media pada hari Sabtu. Bagaimanapun, permintaan ekstradisi daripada negara asalnya telah diabaikan. Arab Saudi telah memberi amaran kepada pihak berkuasa Jerman tentang lelaki itu kira-kira setahun yang lalu, lapor DPA. Bagaimanapun, jenis amaran itu tidak diketahui dengan serta-merta. Riyadh juga telah meminta ekstradisi doktor berusia 50 tahun itu, tetapi tidak menerima sebarang maklum balas daripada Berlin, menurut sumber keselamatan kerajaan itu kepada agensi berita tersebut. Sumber keselamatan Jerman menyatakan bahawa Arab Saudi telah beberapa kali memberi amaran kepada pihak berkuasa negara itu mengenai pandangan ekstremis yang telah diutarakan secara terbuka oleh suspek di Twitter, lapor Reuters. Taleb A. dikatakan sebagai seorang anti-Islam radikal, yang telah secara terbuka meninggalkan agamanya. Suspek telah menetap di Jerman sejak tahun 2006, tetapi hanya mendapat status perlindungan pada tahun 2016. Sebelum itu, dia telah berurusan dengan undang-undang Jerman pada tahun 2013, apabila dia disabitkan dengan kesalahan “mengganggu ketenteraman awam melalui jenayah yang mengancam,” lapor Spiegel. Lelaki itu akhirnya dikenakan denda kira-kira €900 dan dibenarkan tinggal di Jerman, terutamanya disebabkan kebimbangan bahawa dia akan “dieksekusi dengan serta-merta” jika dia dihantar pulang ke negara asalnya, menurut laporan itu. Sabitan itu nampaknya tidak menjejaskan permohonannya untuk mendapatkan suaka. Suspek didakwa telah melanggar orang ramai di pasar Krismas Magdeburg pada petang Jumaat, membunuh sekurang-kurangnya lima orang, termasuk seorang kanak-kanak, dan mencederakan kira-kira 200 orang lain, termasuk 41 orang yang kini dalam keadaan serius atau kritikal. Setakat ini, motif di sebalik serangan itu masih belum jelas, kata pihak berkuasa pada hari Sabtu. Bagaimanapun, Pendakwa Raya Magdeburg, Horst Nopens, mencadangkan serangan itu mungkin disebabkan oleh ketidakpuasan suspek terhadap cara Berlin mengendalikan pelarian Saudi. Penyerang kini menghadapi lima tuduhan membunuh, serta lebih daripada 200 tuduhan cubaan membunuh, kata pihak pendakwaan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
