北京3月31日电 国家主席习近平31日致电阿拉伯国家联盟首脑理事会会议轮值主席突尼斯总统埃塞卜西,祝贺第30届阿拉伯国家联盟首脑理事会会议在突尼斯市召开。 习近平指出,阿拉伯国家联盟致力于促进中东地区和平、稳定、发展,积极倡导政治解决热点问题,为阿拉伯世界实现联合自强作出不懈努力,我对此表示赞赏。 习近平强调,中阿传统友谊深厚。去年7月,中阿合作论坛第八届部长级会议在北京成功召开,中阿双方一致同意建立全面合作、共同发展、面向未来的战略伙伴关系。这是中阿友好合作新的历史起点。中方愿同阿方携手努力,增进战略互信,推进务实合作,密切人文交流,落实中阿合作共建“一带一路”行动宣言,共同开创中阿战略伙伴关系更加美好的未来,为推动构建人类命运共同体作出贡献。 KIEV, March 31 -- Ukraine’s seventh presidential election has kicked off on Sunday. If no candidate gets more than 50% of the votes in the first round, a runoff election will be held on April 21. Among the frontrunners are popular comic actor Vladimir Zelenskiy, trailing behind him is former prime minister and leader of the Batkivschina party, Yulia Tymoshenko, and in third place is the current president Pytor Poroshenko. According to latest opinion polls, Zelensky leads the race (26%-28%), followed by Timoshenko (13%-17%) and trailing behind her is incumbent President Pyotr Poroshenko (16.5%-18%). Also in the top five are opposition candidate Yuri Boyko (9.5%-11%) and leader of the Civil Position party Anatoly Gritsenko (8.4% and 9.8%). SHANGHAI, March 31 -- Chinese who lived through the Cultural Revolution will remember the daily ritual of making “morning requests, evening reports”. Holding their copies of Quotations of Chairman Mao – or “the little red book” as it was known in the West – close to their chests, they asked for the Great Helmsman’s instructions at dawn and dutifully reported back to him in the evening. More than four decades after Mao’s death, a new kind of little red book has emerged in China, this time promoting the thoughts and teachings of the country’s current leader, Xi Jinping. Launched in January by the Communist Party’s propaganda department, Xuexi Qiangguo is a mobile app, whose name translates as “Studying Great Nation”, but also plays on the character “Xi” to suggest it is a way for people to learn about their head of state. The app acts as a news aggregation platform for articles, video clips and documentaries about the president’s political philosophy. Formally titled, “ Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era”, his views and opinions are enshrined in China’s constitution and the party’s charter.Huang Kunming, the party’s propaganda chief, said at the app’s launch that Xuexi Qiangguo was an all-encompassing database of Xi’s thoughts on domestic governance, military building and diplomacy. Users can read transcripts of his speeches, watch videos of him, and get access to a range of study materials on subjects like sociology and psychology. They can also take part in quizzes on subjects such as: “President Xi stressed that party-owned media institutions should make the party voice heard” and “We are a community of shared interests. Therefore, Xi is the only right choice for us.” BAHRAIN, March 31 -- That is the view in Bahrain of Max Verstappen, who only narrowly stayed ahead of Haas’ Kevin Magnussen in qualifying rather than challenge the top teams Ferrari and Mercedes. “We are actually better than best of the rest here,” Dane Magnussen said. Verstappen is quoted by the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad as admitting that the Red Bull chassis is not working optimally in Bahrain. One theory is that Red Bull needs to abandon its front wing concept and instead copy the direction taken by Ferrari. “Ours is a lot different from theirs,” Verstappen said. “Perhaps we have not yet realised our potential, but there is something that is not quite right yet,” he added. The Dutchman backed Red Bull to respond quickly in the coming races. “Hopefully it won’t take longer than two or three races,” said Verstappen. He said Honda should not be blamed for the lack of winning pace in Bahrain. “I don’t think we should say anything about Honda while we ourselves are wrong in terms of balance,” said Verstappen.

The demonstrators are undeterred by protest bans or repeated injuries in 20 weeks of demonstrations. So they're marching again Saturday in Paris, Bordeaux, and other cities to keep pressing President Emmanuel Macron to do more to help the working classes, redesign French politics — or step down altogether. They're also showing solidarity with Genevieve Legay, a 73-year-old anti-globalization activist who suffered a head injury in the southern city of Nice last weekend. The Nice prosecutor said a police officer pushed her down. "We are all Genevieve!" read an online appeal for Saturday's protests. In Paris, thousands of yellow vests started marching from the Gare de l'Est, in the north of the city center. They were heading south to weave through the Left Bank and past the Eiffel Tower. The French capital was placed under high security. Protests were banned around the Champs-Elysees, scene of recent rioting. Audrey Bayart, who came from northern France for the protest, said Legay's case shows the government's contempt toward protesters, especially after Macron told a newspaper the elderly woman should have had the "wisdom" not to join the Nice protest. "After a while, you have to respect people and not tell them 'you are fragile and you stay at home' ... Everybody has things to say, why are we trying to shut them up? That is not democracy," she said. The movement has appeared to lose support in recent weeks, drawing significantly smaller crowds than at its beginning in November, when hundreds of thousands of people mobilized across France, initially to oppose fuel tax hikes, before expanding into a broader rejection of Macron's economic policies. The government is expected to announce next month a new batch of measures as a result of a "great debate" launched by Macron so that ordinary French people can express their views on the country's economic and democratic issues.

Yeo, Singapore’s foreign minister from 2004 to 2011 and minister for trade and industry for five years before that, said the suggestion that Huawei equipment would allow the Chinese government to spy on customers was one-sided. “To be worried that 5G can expose you to foreign intelligence efforts is a legitimate worry, and every country must take precautions,” Yeo said in an interview with De Peet Journal. “It is not just China which may enter your system – the United States and others are also trying to enter your system. If you are a small country, it is very tough because you don’t have all the capabilities.” Yeo, the chairman and executive director of Kerry Logistics Network, said that during his time in government Singapore asked BlackBerry to build a data centre in the city state so that data would not have to go through Canada. “In the field of intelligence, trust nobody and take your own precautions,” he said. The US was concerned about alleged spying by Huawei partly because if more countries used the company’s equipment, American intelligence could be prevented from doing its own snooping, Yeo said. “The Americans are so worried about Huawei not only because Huawei represents a possible vulnerability, but because using Huawei also makes it harder for American intelligence to gain access into other people’s systems,” he said. “Huawei has been talking about the Americans’ Prism surveillance system, which [American whistle-blower] Edward Snowden divulged was collecting information, even tapping German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s telephone conversations. “If you have a Huawei system it is harder for the Americans to do all this. So we can understand why they are not happy with Huawei.” In February, Huawei’s chairman Guo Ping denied his company had “back doors” in its equipment that facilitated spying and referred to the US intelligence work exposed by Snowden. The US has been pressuring its allies to impose blanket bans on using Huawei 5G equipment and networks, and has threatened to reconsider sharing intelligence with them. Canada, Australia and New Zealand have banned Huawei, while the European Union said this week it would not block Huawei but would increase scrutiny of it.“The Europeans are not complying, the British and the Germans are going their own way, and more and more countries will take their alignment from Germany and Britain,” Yeo said. The solution, especially for smaller countries, he said, was to identify vulnerabilities rather than ban a specific provider. “The solution is not to say ‘I ban Huawei’, but to go into smaller granularity about exactly what you are afraid of, what is vulnerable and how to armour-plate those things,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a binary problem; the answer is to go deeper, and all countries should begin to do that not just with respect to Huawei but with every telecom system that they allow into their country. “It is not just Huawei that poses an intelligence threat – all the major powers pose an intelligence threat to small countries.” WASHINGTON, March 30 -- US State Secretary Mike Pompeo has informed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of Washington’s intention to introduce the second set of sanctions related to the Skripal case in a phone conversation in February. "As you know, the Secretary of State had a call with Russian FM Lavrov in February and informed him that the United States will be taking CBW Act related action," the official said. The US State Department press service refused to comment on reports by Bloomberg agency, which claims that the US officials have already prepared a sanctions package and are waiting for the White House’s confirmation. "We don’t preview sanctions actions,". In August 2018, the US introduced sanctions against Russia under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination act of 1991 due to Russia’s alleged involvement in the attempted assassination of Sergei and Yulia Skripal. The same act establishes a second set of sanctions, which hasn’t been introduced yet. The Russian Foreign Ministry informed earlier that an introduction of a second package of US sanctions against Russia would be "absolutely unsubstantiated". "Concerning the US intention announced by the Secretary of State to impose new sanctions on Russia under the far-fetched pretext of last year’s murky incident with the poisoning of Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, whom nobody has seen since then, Sergey Lavrov pointed out that this absolutely unsubstantiated decision would further complicate bilateral relations and the international environment," the ministry’s press service stated. The Skripal case On March 4, 2018, ex-GRU colonel Sergei Skripal, who had been convicted in Russia of spying for Great Britain, and his daughter Yulia suffered the effects of an alleged nerve agent in the British city of Salisbury. Claiming that the substance used in the attack had been a nerve agent allegedly developed in Russia, London rushed to accuse Moscow of being involved in the incident. The Russian side flatly rejected all of the United Kingdom’s accusations, saying that a program aimed at developing such a substance had existed neither in the Soviet Union nor in Russia. Britain’s military chemical laboratory at Porton Down has failed to identify the origin of the substance that poisoned the Skripals. The Russian Investigative Committee initiated criminal proceedings in connection with an attempt on Yulia Skripal’s life. BANGKOK, March 29 -- Bangkok-based renewables company Thai Solar Energy PCL (BKK:TSE) has signed a cooperation agreement with China’s Huawei for the 150-MW Onikoube solar project in Japan. The signing of the deal took place in Bangkok on March 26 and marks the start of a cooperation between the two companies on utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a press release from Friday. The two parties also worked together on a pilot project in July 2014. Huawei has agreed to supply its 1500V Smart PV Solution with Smart I-V Curve Diagnosis for the Onikoube project, which will be realised at a site in Miyagi Prefecture. Huawei's offering uses an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to improve operation and maintenance efficiency and reduce the operating cost of the plant, the company noted.
