We face daunting challenges on many fronts, but the solutions we celebrate in MIC give me plenty of hope about the future.”

Fast Company will host the Most Innovative Companies Summit and Gala on May 16.

سيهانوكفيل، كمبوديا – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 مارس 2024 – يفخر مشروع باي أوف لايتس، المنارة المالية والسياحية المزدهرة في كمبوديا، بالإعلان عن شراكته الاستراتيجية الرائدة مع منصة الاستثمار الرائدة في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، ومؤتمر اجتماع الاستثمار السنوي (AIM). تمثل هذه الشراكة خطوة محورية في تعزيز العلاقات المتنامية بين آسيا والشرق الأوسط ومن المقرر أن تساهم في بدء مرحلة ديناميكية في التنمية الاقتصادية في كمبوديا.

بداية فصل جديد: توقيع الشراكة الاستراتيجية في مركز أعمال باي أوف لايتس

بعد ما يقرب من عام من المفاوضات والتبادلات الاستشرافية، بما في ذلك عدة زيارات قام بها المدير العام لاجتماع الاستثمار السنوي، دخل هذا التعاون حيز التطبيق الرسمي وسط ترقب كبير. تم توقيع الاتفاقية المهمة في مركز الأعمال الجديد التابع لمركز باي أوف لايتس في سيهانوكفيل، برئاسة نائب حاكم مقاطعة برياه سيهانوك، إم فيب.

وسلط سعادة داود الشيزاوي، رئيس مؤتمر اجتماع الاستثمار السنوي، بصفته المفوض بالتوقيع في الحفل، الضوء على أهمية هذه الشراكة. تسمح هذه الاتفاقية باستضافة اجتماع الاستثمار السنوي في آسيا في شركة باي أوف لايتس، بسيهانوكفيل، مما يوفر منصة للمستثمرين العالميين والمسؤولين الحكوميين لاكتشاف الفرص الشاملة في كمبوديا.

يعد مؤتمر اجتماع الاستثمار السنوي منصة استثمارية رائدة في الشرق الأوسط تركز على فرص الاستثمار الأجنبي المباشر والمدن المستقبلية والشركات الصغيرة والمتوسطة. وقد استضاف أكثر من 10,000 مندوب من 175 دولة، وأقام شراكة مع أكثر من 500 عارض لدفع النمو الاقتصادي والعلاقات الدولية.

ومن المتوقع أن يؤدي التآزر بين شركة باي أوف لايتس ومؤتمر اجتماع الاستثمار السنوي إلى توجيه استثمارات الشرق الأوسط إلى قلب آسيا، وتحفيز النمو والازدهار غير المسبوق. ويخطط الطرفان معًا لبناء أول مركز دولي للمؤتمرات والمعارض في سيهانوكفيل داخل باي أوف لايتس، وهو مكان حديث مساحته 11 هكتارًا للمؤتمرات العالمية والفعاليات الرئيسية.

إن هذه الاتفاقية المميزة بعيدة كل البعد عن ذروة هذا التعاون؛ ومن المقرر أن يشهد شهر مايو من هذا العام معلمًا آخر. وفي أبو ظبي، خلال مؤتمر اجتماع الاستثمار السنوي 2024، من المتوقع أن يضع الشركاء اللمسات الأخيرة على اتفاقية التطوير المشترك، مما يعزز التزامهم بتشكيل مستقبل مزدهر من خلال استراتيجيات التنمية المبتكرة.

نبذة عن باي أوف لايتس

يغير باي أوف لايتس أفق مدينة سيهانوكفيل في كمبوديا، باستثمار قدره 16 مليار دولار أمريكي، يشمل هذا المشروع المطل على الشاطئ والذي تبلغ مساحته 934 هكتارًا تسع مناطق تجسد ستة ركائز: الخدمات المالية، والسياحة، والتعليم، والترفيه ونمط الحياة، والصحة والعافية، والفن والثقافة. لقد تم تصميمه لإنشاء مركز عالمي المستوى، وتعزيز اتصال القطاع، وتحفيز النمو الاقتصادي.

UN special rapporteur accuses Israel of blocking UNRWA chief’s access to Gaza

ANKARA: The UN special rapporteur on Palestine criticized Israel on Monday for barring the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) from entering Gaza, saying it is attempting to hinder witness accounts of "genocide." Francesca Albanese denounced Israel's refusal to grant Philippe Lazzarini access to the enclave in a post on X. Albanese shared Lazzarini's statement that Israeli authorities prevented him from entering Gaza and quoted him as saying: "The highest number of people ever recorded as facing human-made famine, along with mass killings, constant harm and creation of conditions that gut life of humanity has a name: Genocide." She also reacted to Lazzarini's lack of access to Gaza, adding: "Israel wants no witnesses, no truth-tellers." Lazzarini planned to visit the city of Rafah in southern Gaza on Monday but was informed that his entry into the area was denied. Meanwhile, the Israeli Foreign Ministry claimed that Lazzarini was not denied entry to Gaza. "On the day new data is out o n famine in GAZA, the Israeli Authorities deny my entry to Gaza," Lazzarini wrote on X. Israel has waged a deadly military offensive on Gaza since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 which killed nearly 1,200 people. More than 31,700 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have since been killed in the enclave and nearly 73,800 others injured amid mass destruction and shortages of necessities. The Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza's population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of most food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN. Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza. Source: Anadolu Agency

Scientists create most extensive depiction of cosmos encompassing 1,300 supermassive black holes

ISTANBUL: Scientists announced that they created a fresh depiction of the cosmos, encompassing 1.3 million supermassive black holes (SMBHs) positioned at the core of galaxies, Cosmos magazine reported Tuesday. The map, produced using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope, focused on mapping the stars in our own galaxy but inadvertently captured images of objects much further away. 'This quasar catalogue is different from all previous catalogues in that it gives us a three-dimensional map of the largest-ever volume of the universe,' said the map's co-creator, professor David Hogg from New York University. 'It isn't the catalogue with the most quasars, and it isn't the catalogue with the best-quality measurements of quasars, but it is the catalogue with the largest total volume of the universe mapped,' he said. He said the quasar catalog exemplifies the high productivity of astronomical projects. 'Gaia was designed to measure stars in our own galaxy, but it also found millions of quasa rs at the same time, which give us a map of the entire universe,' he added. SMBHs typically possess a mass ranging from 100,000 to 10 billion times that of the sun and are commonly situated in the central regions of galaxies. The article on a research project aimed to help astronomers in better understanding the evolution of the universe, has been published in Astrophysical Journal. Source: Anadolu Agency
