Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith met with Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Secretary-General Nurlan Yermekbayev in Bishkek on 31 August, following Laos’ formal admission as an SCO Dialogue Partner.

The meeting took place during the SCO summit, held in the capital of Kyrgyzstan from 31 August to 1 September under the theme “Enhancing the Role of the United Nations as a Key Element of a Fair World Order: the Contribution of the SCO Plus States to the Formation of a Multipolar World.”

Discussions covered economic and trade cooperation, transport and digital connectivity, personnel training and tourism.

The two sides also discussed security cooperation, including efforts to combat cybercrime, transnational organized crime, drug trafficking and terrorism.

The SCO is a regional intergovernmental organization comprising 10 member states: Belarus, China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

As a Dialogue Partner, Laos now has a formal channel for cooperation with the SCO and its members in areas including security and stability, the economy, trade, infrastructure, transport, logistics, tourism, culture, innovation and regional connectivity.

Although Laos is not a full SCO member, its Dialogue Partner status allows it to participate in selected SCO activities and programs. This could support national development priorities, particularly in areas such as digital transformation, connectivity and skills development.

The new status may also support Laos’ efforts to develop its role as a regional logistics hub. Its location gives it potential to serve as a link between China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, while creating opportunities to expand trade, investment and logistics connections with countries in Central Asia, South Asia and Eurasia.

The arrangement also enables closer coordination with the SCO while Laos remains a member of ASEAN.

Following the summit, and at the invitation of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President Thongloun will lead a high-level Lao delegation on an official visit to Kazakhstan from 3 to 4 September.

The SOLION-100 combines GMDSS, Ship Security Alert System and Long-Range Identification and Tracking capabilities in a single Iridium Certus 100 terminal for newbuild and retrofit vessels.

HAMBURG, Germany, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM), a leading provider of global voice, data, aircraft surveillance, and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellite services, and Furuno Electric Co., Ltd. today announced Furuno will offer its new SOLION-100 terminal for Iridium GMDSS. This new Furuno maritime safety terminal is built on Iridium® Certus 100 technology and integrates GMDSS, Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) and Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) capabilities in a single platform.

SOLION-100 Terminal for Iridium GMDSS
SOLION-100 Terminal for Iridium GMDSS

Iridium GMDSS entered service in 2020 following recognition by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), becoming the first new provider of satellite GMDSS services since the system was established. It delivers regulated maritime distress and safety communications through Iridium’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, with global coverage, including the polar regions.

Furuno’s addition of Iridium GMDSS to its portfolio gives shipowners and shipyards greater choice in selecting maritime safety equipment for newbuild and retrofit vessels.

“Furuno has been committed to supporting safer navigation at sea for decades, and maritime safety remains at the heart of what we do,” said Kiyoshi Furuno, Head of Marine Electronic Products Division and Sales Management Department General Manager, Furuno. “The new SOLION-100 terminal for Iridium GMDSS allows us to strengthen our safety communications portfolio and provide customers with LEO satellite GMDSS technology alongside the Furuno navigation and communications systems they already rely on.”

“Furuno has a long history of supporting maritime safety, and its addition of Iridium GMDSS brings together that expertise with the global coverage of the Iridium network,” said Wouter Deknopper, vice president and general manager, maritime, Iridium. “Together, we are giving shipowners and shipyards another way to equip vessels with reliable maritime safety communications, including in the polar regions.”

Iridium GMDSS is designed to support crews throughout a maritime safety event, from receiving navigational and meteorological warnings through Iridium SafetyCast® to initiating a distress alert and establishing Safety Voice communications with a Rescue Coordination Center. A single-button distress alert transmits the vessel’s identification, status and position, while Safety Voice enables crews to communicate directly with rescue authorities to provide additional information about the situation.

The SOLION-100 is expected to be commercially available for retrofit applications in late 2026, with availability for newbuild projects expected to follow in 2027.

Iridium is exhibiting this week at SMM Hamburg. Visit booth Hall B6 Stand 313 to learn more about Iridium PNT, Iridium GMDSS, and other critical maritime safety services.

United States Government and North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) Reach Historic Deal to Develop Venezuela’s Oil Sector

The deal, made possible by strengthening relations between Venezuela and the United States, is expected to involve nearly $100 billion in investment to commercialize more than 65 billion barrels of P1 reserves in Venezuela.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The United States Departments of State and War have reached an historic deal with North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) to significantly expand oil production in Venezuela. As part of the deal, NABEP will have operating control of the business, with the United States Government holding rights to a 35% stake in the company, alongside preferential access to 20% of the company’s production at cost.

President Donald J. Trump announced the agreement on Truth Social as “the biggest oil deal in world history” and is demonstrative of the U.S. and Venezuelan governments deepening collaboration in the Venezuelan oil sector, bringing jobs and fiscal stability for Venezuelans and lower prices at the pump for Americans.

“Venezuela is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, hardworking people and untapped potential,” said Alejandro Betancourt, CEO of NABEP. “This transaction will unleash that potential to the great benefit of both Venezuelans and Americans. We are grateful to President Donald J. Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio, Secretary Pete Hegseth, the United States Government, and to President Delcy Rodríguez and the Government of Venezuela, for their confidence in NABEP and their willingness to tackle this challenge with us. We look forward to pioneering a new and exciting path together.”

This new venture is expected to bring tens of millions of additional barrels of Venezuelan oil to the global marketplace, thousands of well-paid jobs to Venezuela, and billions in incremental investment and broader economic activity to drive growth in Venezuela’s recovering economy. Through the right to purchase 20% of the oil produced at cost, this venture will also ultimately deliver billions in savings for American consumers and secure a stable and growing strategic supply of oil in the Western Hemisphere. Through billions in purchases of oil infrastructure and equipment from U.S. suppliers, NABEP will also support thousands of manufacturing jobs in the United States.

Mr. Betancourt has been in the Venezuelan oil industry for more than 15 years with a consistent track record of success, most recently at the helm of NABEP, where he rapidly scaled the company’s production from approximately 18,000 barrels per day to more than 200,000 barrels per day through roughly $1 billion in company-funded investment, making it the country’s second-largest oil producer in just two years’ time. Today, the company directly employs over 5,000 people and supports over 10,000 contractor employees across Venezuela.

Following these transactions, NABEP now controls the rights to commercialize more than 65 billion barrels of P1 reserves in Venezuela. NABEP is seeking to rapidly expand its operations in Lake Maracaibo and the Orinoco Belt with the near-term goal of increasing production to more than 1 million barrels of oil per day.

As it was announced, the program will involve nearly $100 billion in investment to increase production capacity and oil and gas infrastructure in Venezuela and will generate more than $209 billion in tax revenue for the Venezuelan state.

In a statement posted to X immediately following the announcement, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: “This deal is a huge win for both the American and Venezuelan people. It demonstrates how President Trump’s bold foreign policy is driving America First wins: securing stable reserves and low-cost oil in our Hemisphere and lowering gas prices here at home. For the Venezuelan people, this deal will bring nearly $100 billion in private investment, support thousands of high-paying jobs, and drive the reconstruction of Venezuela’s economy.”

About North American Blue Energy Partners
North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) is an independent oil exploration and production company operating in North and Latin America, with offices in Caracas, Maracaibo and Lechería. NABEP is committed to the responsible development of energy resources, the safety of its people, and the prosperity of the communities where it operates. www.nabep.net

Chinese auto leaders seek solutions for transformative growth at forum held in Chongqing

CHONGQING, China, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from Xinhua Silk Road:

From “leading in scale” to “quality-led transformative growth”, the shift currently affecting China’s auto industry was brought under the spotlight during the recent 2026 Automotive New Quality Productive Force Development Forum.

Organized by China Economic Information Service and China Certification & Inspection Group, the event, held in Jiulongpo District of Chongqing, attracted a cohort of business representatives from the auto manufacturing and intelligent driving sectors.

As electric vehicle output and intelligent driving burgeon domestically, transformative growth instead of economy of scale remains a critical issue particularly for Chongqing, a leading auto- and motorcycle-producing city on its way to becoming a high-end player in the global value chain.

Regarding industry pain points such as high intelligent driving penetration yet low user trust, He Gang, vice president of Changan Automobile, stressed the significance of enhancing users’ sense of safety.

Via its all-weather dark-room laboratory and world models for smart driving, the Chongqing-based company is improving driving stability under extreme conditions and enabling advance detection of hazardous obstacles to build a three-pronged safety system.

He Liyang, president of Seres, outlined a set of principles centered on safety and performance that the company has consistently upheld in its development, saying “safety is the utmost luxury worth pursuing.”

To reduce homogeneous competition, Cao Li, senior vice president of Leapmotor, highlighted the importance of full-domain self-reliant research and manufacturing to navigate industry cycles.

With more than 65 percent of core parts developed and made by itself, the company, which owns 18 super factories, has built a closed-loop industrial cluster to keep quality, cost, and iteration efficiency fully under control.

In the face of industry controversies over powertrain technology routes, Wu Jian, a member of GAC Group’s strategy committee, said that traditional overseas powertrain technology routes have limitations in terms of intelligent adaptation.

Powertrains with Chinese characteristics can only be developed by delving into technologies that adapt to local scenarios and integrate well with vehicle intelligent systems, noted Wu, adding that after 20 years of independent R&D, the company now boasts three powertrain technology series for range-extended, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid electric vehicles.

As for “going global”, Wu Yongqiao, president of Bosch’s intelligent driving and control system division in China, said the company’s smart driving business is deeply involved in local innovation while aligning with overseas laws and regulations to facilitate the global expansion of Chinese auto companies.

To leverage technology for social good, Tang Guomei, deputy president of Sevnce Robotics, said the company focuses on resolving industry security dilemmas in special scenarios.

Addressing industry dilemmas such as insufficient cognitive generalization and causal reasoning in the evolution of intelligent driving systems, Yang Mu, CTO of Chongqing Afari Technology, a Chongqing-headquartered smart driving business, said the company is building a native intelligent driving base model by integrating large language models with intelligent driving models to strengthen smart vehicles’ capabilities in scene understanding, logical reasoning, and risk prediction.
