(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (HPP) by Russian troops could have negative consequences for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP), but the situation is under control.
According to Ukrinform, Energatom reported this on telegram .
On the night of June 6, Russians blew up the dam of the Kakhovka HPP. As a result of the explosion, the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir is rapidly decreasing, which is an additional threat to the temporarily occupied ZNPP, the report says.
The water from the Kakhovka reservoir is necessary for the plant to receive feed for turbine condensers and ZNPP safety systems. The station's cooling pond is now full. As of 8:00 am, the water level is 16.6 meters, which is enough for the station's needs, Energoatom emphasized.

(MENAFN- Arab Times) KUWAIT CITY, April 8: The Philippines Ambassador to Kuwait has once again appealed to overstaying Filipinos to register as soon as possible and not wait, what he called, until the last minute to benefit from the amnesty that was issued by the government of Kuwait to allow illegal expatriates to leave the country without paying fines, Manila Times reported.
According to the Philippines Embassy in Kuwait there are at least 6,500 Filipinos, living illegally and who have yet to register for repatriation.
They have until April 12, the deadline given by the embassy to register to meet the amnesty deadline of April 22, midnight. If they fail to register before April 12, 'not all undocumented Filipinos in Kuwait can avail of the amnesty the Gulf state has offered because of the limited time left for them to register in the program,' said the Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait Renato Villa.
This will mean that the embassy needs to process more than 1,500 amnesty applicants a day, until Thursday, to accommodate everyone. Villa said there were more than 10,000 overstaying and 'runaway' Filipinos based on the data of the Ministry of Interior of Kuwait and over 4,100 have been repatriated since January.
In February, the Kuwaiti government agreed to extend the amnesty offered to overstaying Filipinos to April 22, from Feb 21. The decision was made after Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano formally conveyed the extension request to Kuwaiti Ambassador to Manila Musaed Saleh Ahmad Al-Thwaikh.
Villa said those who would not be able to avail of the program would be subjected to arrest, fine and lifetime ban in Kuwait starting on April 22, 2018.

High MEP Negatively Impacts Rice Exporters From Punjab
Chandigarh, Sept 14
(KNN) The government's decision to set a Minimum Export Price (MEP) Control order of USD 1,200 per tonne on basmati has negatively impacted the rice export business in Punjab, reported The Tribune.
The rice exporters from Punjab and Haryana are blaming the government for setting such a high MEP.
During the WorldFood, a food exhibition, in Istanbul last week, basmati exporters did not get a single order because of the high MEP.
The exporters say that they are unable to honour the ongoing orders because of the high MEP order.
The maximum number of export orders in Punjab and Haryana are signed during this annual international food products fair.
Vijay Kumar Setia, former president of the All-India Rice Exporters Association, said,“These circumstances are troubling those exporters who have stockpiled rice in various forms, including paddy and processed rice, as standard practice in rice businesses.”
He said most buyers preferred to buy Pakistani basmati, American and Australian calrose rice and other options available from Thailand as end consumer would not adapt immediately to such high prices.
“This could give the other varieties permanent space as a replacement for Indian basmati,” he added.
Bal Krishan Bali, president of the Basmati Rice Millers and Exporters Association, said the average export price of basmati in the last five years was USD 975 per tonne.
In 2022-23, India exported 4.56 million tonnes of basmati valued at USD 4.78 billion at an average price of USD 1,050 per tonne, 80 per cent of the trade.
“We fail to understand the logic behind the move that will jeopardise the country's position in the export market,” he said.

(MENAFN- Daily Outlook Afghanistan) KABUL - The European Union (EU) on Tuesday welcomed Afghanistan's ratification of the UN Convention against Torture and its Optional Protocol.
The EU reiterated its call for a broad ratification and effective implementation of the convention on International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
In a statement, High Representative Federica Mogherini reaffirmed EU's commitment to eradicating all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishments.
'We will keep mobilising all our means to protect all those that have been and continue to be exposed to this abhorrent human rights violation and standing by all those who very courageously engage against this crime through awareness...
The fight against torture and other forms of ill-treatment is enshrined in the European Union Treaties and Charter of Fundamental Rights. It is a key priority area in the EU Action plan on Human Rights and Democracy.
Mogherini said the RU had a global approach to eradicate torture including prohibition, prevention, combating impunity and redress for the victims through a combination of political and human rights dialogues, awareness-raising activities and financial assistance.
She went on to underline the role of international and regional mechanisms, as well as human rights bodies, in eradicating torture. The EU financially supports their work in several countries around the globe.
Eradication of torture could be achieved only through a global effort by joining forces, defining common strategies and implementing joint actions, the Italian politician believed.
'Continuous engagement with our partners, at regional and multilateral level, along with civil society, is crucial to making progress, the EU official added.
The launch of the "Global Alliance for Torture-Free Trade" in September 2017, for example, reiterates the EU's commitment to the absolute prohibition of torture, capital punishment and other degrading treatment.
In a year which marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the European Union recalled that all human beings were born free and equal in dignity and rights. (Pajhwok)

India added onions to the nation's expanding list of food staples slapped with sweeping export restrictions, as the government seeks to contain domestic prices ahead of a national election next year.
Overseas shipments of onions will be banned until March 31, although cargoes of vegetables that started loading prior to the notification can still be exported, the government said Friday. The ban follows government measures in August to release stockpiles of the staple to shield consumers from rising costs.
The onion ban comes a day after India restricted the use of sugar cane juice to produce biofuels, a move aimed at expanding its reserves of the sweetener, and follows curbs on wheat and rice. The measures have spilled over into the global market, threatening food supply from Asia to Africa and boosting some prices.
"A build up in food inflation has prompted the government to take several actions to shore up domestic food supply, both through the use of export bans and higher imports,” said Rahul Bajoria, an economist at Barclays Plc. "This will likely be a feature till the national elections in the middle of 2024.”
The Reserve Bank of India left its key policy rate unchanged Friday, raising concerns about higher food prices. Average retail prices of onions, tomatoes, rice and sugar in India have jumped 98%, 32%, 14% and 5%, respectively, from a year earlier, according to data compiled by the food ministry.
India may still permit onion exports to countries that seek an exemption on the grounds of food security, according to a notice from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. A similar provision exists for rice shipments.

Concepción, Chile: Ott Tanak built up a commanding lead in the Chile Rally on Saturday, the 2019 world champion winning two of the middle day's three opening stages.
Estonian Tanak increased his overnight lead from four seconds to almost 50sec over Hyundai's Teemu Suninen.
Elfyn Evans, aiming to maintain his slender title hopes, is placed fourth, 1min 16.8sec off the pace.
Almost half a minute behind the Welshman came his Toyota teammate Kalle Rovanpera, who leads Evans by 33 points in the championship race.
With only two rounds of the season to come after Chile Evans is desperate for a decent result to prolong his battle for the WRC crown with the defending champion.
Rovanpera won the day's first stage but the Finn was then forced to nurse his Toyota's soft tyres and his hopes of wrapping up the season with two legs to spare look slim.
The final two rounds of the year are the Central European Rally, a new addition to the calendar, in Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, in late October with Japan hosting the 13th and final leg in November.

Also, taking advantage of the presence of journalists, the demonstrators condemned the statement of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula about his desire to pay an official visit to Russia.
"For us and for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in Brazil, this will mean support for Russian aggression against Ukraine," added the head of the Union of Ukrainians in Portugal.
As a reminder, at the end of December 2023, the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) officially accepted five new members - Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Ethiopia.

The UAE continues to remain on the UK’s red list of countries after a travel review by the government on July 28.
Passengers travelling from the countries listed in the red category will have to quarantine for 10 days in a hotel on arrival.
Alternatively, the UK nationals and UAE residents can stay in an amber or green list of countries for 11 days before they can travel to the UK.
“If you have been in a country or territory on the red list in the last 10 days you will only be allowed to enter the UK if you are a British or Irish National, or you have residence rights in the UK,” the UK government said on its website.
The number of new Covid-19 cases in the UAE have dropped significantly , thanks to greater public awareness, increased RT-PCR screening and vaccination in the country. The UAE recorded 25 per cent drop in the number of new infections in July as compared to last month.
Entry for fully vaccinated US, EU visitors
England will now allow fully vaccinated visitors from the European Union and the United States to arrive without needing to quarantine from next week, in a huge and long-awaited boost for airlines and travel companies.
From August 2, travellers with the US and EU-approved vaccines will not have to quarantine. Lifting the same requirement for fully vaccinated Britons returning from medium-risk countries in July helped to kickstart a travel recovery.
The new rule applies to England, and devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales said they would follow suit. The UK government said international cruise sailings could also restart from England.
Some of the other major and regional countries that are listed in the red category include Bahrain, India, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar and Turkey.
The next review is expected in the middle of next week.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 13. Iran and the US
could negotiate on Iran's nuclear program if they find common
ground on other issues, such as easing the conflicts in the Middle
East, said Mohammad Ali Sobhani the former head the Middle East
Department of Iran's Foreign Ministry, Trend reports.
Sobhani noted that the outcome of the current situation in the
Middle East is uncertain, but that a lower level of hostility
between Iran and the US could benefit the region.
He also said that Iran could gain some relief from the sanctions
imposed on it if it could reach a better understanding with the
“US President Joseph Biden seems to want to avoid making the
crisis worse, and to try to resolve it if possible. I think the
tension between Iran and the US will not increase further,” he
On January 16, 2016, Iran's nuclear program triggered the
creation of the JCPOA between Iran and the P5+1 group (US, Russia,
China, UK, France, and Germany).
However, on May 8, 2018, the US announced its withdrawal from
the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Iran and the
5+1 group (Russia, China, the UK, France, the US, and Germany) and
imposed new sanctions against Iran as of November 2018.
Over the past period, the sanctions have affected Iranian oil
exports and more than 700 banks, companies, and individuals. The
sanctions have resulted in the freezing of Iranian assets
In late 2020, the Iranian parliament decided to implement a
strategic plan to tackle the sanctions, citing the
non-implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA) signed between Iran and six countries and the imposition of
sanctions on Iran.
According to the decision of the Iranian parliament, as of
February 23, Iran suspended the implementation of additional steps
and an additional protocol provided for in the nuclear deal. As a
result, the control mechanism of the IAEA decreased by 20–30

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Moscow:Russia warned the United States of reprisals Thursday after artillery fire from an area controlled by US-backed fighters in eastern Syria targeted government troops.
A military spokesman in Moscow blamed Syrian Democratic Forces and said future attacks would be repelled.
"Syrian regime forces were twice targeted with massive fire from mortar launchers and rocket artillery from areas east of the Euphrates river where SDF forces and US special forces are," Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.
"A representative of US command in Al Udeid, Qatar, was notified in severe form that attempts to attack from districts where SDF fighters are located will be repelled," he said.
"Fire positions in these areas will be immediately suppressed with all available weapons," he said.
Russia is supporting the current offensive by Syrian government forces against Islamic State jihadists near the city of Deir Ezzor with air cover, while Russian special forces are also active in the area.
Konashenkov said regime forces control 85 percent of Deir Ezzor. "The city will be liberated in the coming week," he said.
On Monday, Syrian government troops crossed the Euphrates river, sealing off the city on three sides.
Meanwhile, SDF, an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters, is pushing the IS group from the northeastern part of the province, as the US-led coalition provides air cover.
To prevent the two operations from clashing, the coalition, the SDF, Syria's government and Russia agreed on a "de-confliction line" that runs from the neighbouring province of Raqa southeast along the Euphrates to Deir Ezzor.
But on Saturday the US-led coalition and the SDF accused Russian warplanes of bombing SDF fighters east of the river, an allegation that Moscow denied.
Konashenkov said Syrian regime forces have continued the offensive on the eastern side of the Euphrates over the past day, "freeing 16 square kilometres and two villages from terrorists."
A longtime ally of Syria, Russia stepped into the multi-front conflict in September 2015 and shifted the balance of power in favour of President Bashar al-Assad with extensive air support and other aid.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Bengali superstar Parambrata Chatterjee is all set to marry activist-singer Piya Chakraborty today, November 27. The couple have been dating for a while now. For the unaware, Piya is musician Anupam Roy's former wife.
Parambrata Chatterjee, an actor, is getting married. The actor, well-known for his contributions to Bengali and Hindi film, is rumoured to marry his girlfriend, mental health activist-singer Piya Chakraborty, today, November 27. For those who don't know, Piya is the ex-wife of musician Anupam Roy.
Parambrata Chatterjee and Piya Chakraborty's wedding speculations have been circulating for quite some time.
However, Aajtak Bangla has stated that the couple will marry on November 27 in a small ceremony attended by friends and family in Kolkata.
While the pair has yet to issue an official announcement, reports of their wedding are circulating on the internet. In terms of visitors, just a few members of the Bengali cinema industry have been invited to the ceremony.
Rumours circulated earlier this year that Parambrata Chatterjee and Piya Chakraborty secretly married. However, the actor dismissed it as false.
In fact, when Piya and Anupam separated in 2021, rumours circulated that Piya chose because she was in love with Parambrata. The 'Aranyak' actor, however, denied it at the time.
Parambrata has always been 'excellent pals' with Piya and has previously expressed his displeasure with such debates.
Parambrata and Piya have never spoken openly about their relationship.
According to reports, Parambrata has recently intensified his visits to Piya's home. Piya recently visited Parambrata while he was in London for a lengthy shoot. Parambrata was recently seen with Piya and her mother at a restaurant on Park Street in Kolkata.

Kolkata, Jan 21 (IANS) The CISF on Saturday arrested a US citizen with a Chinese satellite phone while he was attempting to board a Delhi-bound flight at the Bagdogra airport near Siliguri in West Bengal.
The arrested person has been identified Thomas Esroh Seitz (45).
According to Bagdogra airport sources, three US citizens, including Seitz, arrived at the airport on Saturday afternoon to board a Delhi-bound flight. However, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawans, while checking the luggage of Seitz, detected a Chinese satellite phone.
Airport sources said that there are several restrictions on carrying satellite phones in aircraft in India. As per the rules of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), barring satellite phones provided by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), no other sattelite phones or any other similar devices are allowed to be carried in an aircraft.
Also, for carrying a satellite phone in an aircraft, one needs to obtain authorisation and documents stating the reasons for the same.
However, when questioned by the CISF personnel and the security staff, Seitz was unable to furnish any such document justifying him carrying the device. Thereafter, the CISF arrested him and later handed him over to the local police.
Seitz told the police that he and two other US citizens were representatives of Shield AI, a US-based company, and they were in India for drone surveillance training at an Indian Army base at Lachung in Sikkim.
He claimed that he arrived in India on January 12 and received the satellite device through Air Cargo on January 16. He also said that he was going back after completing the drone surveillance training.
The police have contacted the Indian Army to authenticate the claims made by Seitz.
The police are also investigating whether Seitz got the satellite phone for the purpose of espionage at Indian Army bases.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) Kyoto is bracing for another influx of tourists. Next to the rollout of the city administration's“mind your manners” campaign, Kyoto has terminated its popular one-day bus pass to discourage tourists from using the city's busses.
and jammed public transport have
inconvenienced locals . In 2022, roughly 80% of residents complained about public transport and the streets being overly filled with tourists.
over tourists' behavior, such as littering or eating while walking. The rising number of international travelers strains local infrastructure and public manners have been termed“sightseeing pollution .”
Kyoto's relationship with international tourism is complex. The 52 million visitors to Kyoto in 2018 spent 1.3 trillion yen (US$8.7 billion), generating almost a fifth of the city's nominal GDP.
But the sector triggered a dynamic of“tourism gentrification” with locals being pushed out from the housing market since short-term holiday rentals are more lucrative to landlords. Shops and restaurants started catering to travelers rather than locals.
In February 2020, Shoei Murayama, a long-time member of the Kyoto city assembly, ran his mayoral campaign on the main message that“overtourism” was detrimental to the ancient capital city. Though he did not win the race, his campaign highlighted the debate about mass tourism.
The Covid-19 pandemic fundamentally changed the situation. Japan
closed its borders
to inbound tourists from April 2020 to October 2022, bringing the tourism industry to a complete halt.
During the prior seven years, from 2013, when Tokyo was selected as the host city for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the number of international visitors to Japan had
more than tripled
to almost 32 million in 2019.

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Rabat – Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will visit Morocco next October, announced foreign minister Nasser Bourita Thursday in Moscow during a Morocco-Russia Joint Committee meeting.
During the 6th session of the Moroccan-Russian Joint Commission for Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation on July 13, Bourita stressed that Medvedev's visit takes place in a favorable and positive context following the King's successful historic visit to the Russian Federation in March 2016, which gave new impetus and a strong momentum to bilateral relations between the two countries.
"The talks with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich showed Russia's willingness to consolidate the deep strategic partnership between the two countries," he said at the end of the meeting.
For the minister, Morocco can "constitute the gateway of Russia to Africa." According to Bourita, Morocco is the second partner of Russia at the Arab and African levels. The Kingdom supplies 35 percent of Russia's needs in tomatoes and 20 percent in fish, while Russia meets 15 percent of Morocco's gas needs.
In this regard the Minister stressed the need to "promote these sectors of cooperation and to stimulate new dynamics by simplifying bureaucratic procedures and through the establishment of gas platforms, the exportation of Russian gas from Morocco to other regions, and the creation of joint ventures in fisheries to avoid quota-related problems."
In the same context, Bourita underlined the need to open up new areas of cooperation "in the light of Morocco's experience as a gateway to the African continent and the Arab world in the fields of renewable energies, automotive and aeronautic sectors, and other industries to take advantage of these factors to attract Russian investment in several promising sectors such as tourism and the pharmaceutical industry and to make joint investments."
The outcome of the meeting contributed significantly to the success of the forthcoming visit of Medvedev to Morocco in October 2017 at the head of a large delegation of businessmen.

To accomplish this objective, USAID collaborates with the Azerbaijani government, regional governments, the private sector and a wide range of civil society organizations.
The draft budget of the U.S. State Department states that the USAID can allocate $3.6 million worth funds to Azerbaijan in 2019 to support the country's economic development and $600,000 for professional military education in the country.
For this year, it is planned to provide Azerbaijan with $600,000 to support professional military education, including various trainings and courses in the country. Azerbaijan received $639,000 from USAID in 2017 for the abovementioned purposes, while another $1 million was allocated as military financing.

(MENAFN- IANS) San Francisco, June 8 (IANS) Video game retailer GameStop has fired CEO Matt Furlong without cause, appointing Ryan Cohen as Executive Chairman, effective immediately.
Furlong started at GameStop in June 2021 and oversaw things like the company's move into NFTs, November layoffs, and firing the company's CFO.
GameStop has also made Mark Robinson the company's new aceprincipal executive officer" with a title of general manager, according to a form 10-Q from the company in the US.
Last year, GameStop terminated its Chief Financial Officer Mike Recupero, while sacking employees in another round of mass layoffs.
Furlong had told staff in an email that the "reductions" were an attempt to help the company operate more "nimbly".
"After investing heavily in personnel, technology, inventory and supply chain infrastructure over the past 18 months, our focus is on achieving sustained profitability," Furlong wrote.
"This means eliminating excess costs and operating with an intense owner's mentality. Everyone in the organisation must become even more hands-on and embrace a heightened level of accountability for results," he told employees.
GameStop then appointed Diana Saadeh-Jajeh as the new CFO.
GameStop earlier laid off over 100 employees in May 2022.
In 2021, GameStop was probed for driving millions of his customers to buy up the stock and take it "to the moon".
The company received significant media attention during January and February 2021 due to the volatility of its stock price and the GameStop short squeeze, causing major financial consequences for certain hedge funds and large losses for short sellers.

BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. The attempts of
the EU to gain a foothold in Armenia at any cost and to press the
mediation efforts of Russia can damage the fundamental interests of
Armenians and Azerbaijanis in their aspirations to return to the
peaceful development of the region, the statement of Russian
Foreign Ministry said, trend reports via TASS.
'Russia's principled position regarding the consolidation of the
extra-regional factor in the South Caucasus hasn't changed. We do
not see any 'added value' from the supervision of the 'experts' of
the EU over the events in the area of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border. If Brussels was sincerely interested in peace in the South
Caucasus, it would have agreed on the conditions for the work of
its mission with Azerbaijan,” the statement noted.
According to the statement, the appearance of representatives of
the EU, which was reborn as an appendage of the US and NATO and
pursues a confrontational policy in the CIS region, in the border
areas of Armenia can only bring geopolitical confrontation to the
region and exacerbate existing contradictions.
“Allegedly civilian EU Mission shouldn't be misleading either.
The mission is formed under the Common Security and Defense Policy
of EU with all consequences arising from this,” the statement also
“We are convinced that the key factor of stability and security
in the region for the foreseeable future remains the Russian
peacekeeping contingent deployed in accordance with the trilateral
statement of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia dated
November 10, 2020 [following the Second Karabakh War], as well as
the Russian border guards serving on the Armenian frontiers. They
will react to the behavior of the EU observers, taking into account
the development of the situation on the ground,” concluded the

US targets Daesh oil tankers
11/19/2015 7:21:01 AM
(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) U.S.-led airstrikes have hit 116 oil tanker trucks in a village border town between Iraq and Syria a spokesman for anti-Daesh operations said Wednesday.
Col. Jeff Warren told reporters via video conference that the strikes in Abu Kamal since Sunday were the first of its kind.
"To minimize risks to civilians we conducted a leaflet drop prior to the strike. We did a show of force -- we had aircraft essentially buzz the trucks at low altitude" Warren said.
He displayed a copy of the leaflet on which a note in Arabic and English reads “Warning: airstrikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life."
He said the leaflets that we dropped about 45 minutes before the airstrikes.
Warren said that the coalition has been targeting Daesh’s oil infrastructures for some time but recently found that many of the airstrikes' had minimal effect because Daesh was able to repair damage caused by the strikes.
He noted that the coalition has recently decided to target different components of the oil infrastructure that include tanker trucks.
The coalition calls the campaign Operation Tidal Wave II – a name derived from operations against Nazi oil facilities in Romania during World War II according Davis.
The airstrikes came shortly after Russia announced its aircraft have hit about 500 oil tanker trucks smuggling oil from Syria to Iraq.

At 224 km we were able to work out the times and saw that Yazeed had pulled back almost 5 minutes and Kuba 2 so over the last part of the special we decided to up the pace a little. All in all perfect for tomorrow. The plan will be to come up to Yazeed's dust and stay behind him.”

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — Negotiations are under way between Mexico and Jordan to reinforce economic, political, cultural and educational cooperation, according to Roberto Rodriguez-Hernandez, Mexico's ambassador to Jordan.
Political relations between Mexico and Jordan are of high importance, Hernandez said.
“We have the same principles as Jordan when it comes to foreign policy. We sometimes receive petitions from the Jordanian government to support different candidacies for the United Nations organisations. We always support each other,” Hernandez told The Jordan Times during an interview on Tuesday.
Hernandez noted that the two countries are working on enhancing cooperation in education fields, as well as the cultural matters.
“We are trying to promote the Mexican culture, music and food. We are also encouraging Jordanian universities to have students conduct research regarding products that can be exported to Mexico, and doing the same on the Mexican side,” he continued.
According to the ambassador, the trade volume between the countries is“very modest”, as it did not exceed $1.5 million in the last five years.
“Most of the trade is not direct from Mexico to Jordan or vice versa,” Hernandez noted, adding that“it [trade] happens through the United States because Mexico has lots of companies based in the US.”
He encouraged cooperation between the countries to achieve a higher trade volume.
“We are in the process of negotiating with the Jordanian minister of the economy to present certain tax-free products in Jordan from Mexico, and also Jordanian products that are tax-free in Mexico. Initiating this step will be a good start for trade,” the ambassador added.
Hernandez said that an agreement has been signed between the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC) and the main corporation of the Chambers of Commerce in Mexico.
“We are receiving lots of support from Jordanian businessmen. We want them to see Mexico and Latin America as an opportunity, while doing the same in Mexico; promoting Jordan as a platform to develop the whole region,” he said.
Hernandez pointed out that they are looking into areas that have the“most advantages, especially in sectors where Jordanians and Mexicans can invest, to promote the development of the economy in both countries”.
Hernandez said that the next step is to establish committees to follow up on different areas of cooperation, such as culture, education and science.
He noted that the two countries are exploring how to further collaborate.
“The cooperation was modest during the pandemic, but we are working on having more contact and communication,” the envoy said.
Regarding Mexican National Day on September 16, the ambassador noted that Mexican communities will celebrate it globally.
“We have a celebration and ceremony that starts on the night of September 15 with food, music and fireworks. We are glad to celebrate it here in Jordan and in different parts of the world,” Hernandez said.

(MENAFN) Tragedy struck a safari tour group in Zambia's Kafue National Park when an 80-year-old American tourist lost her life after being charged by a bull elephant. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, March 30, also resulted in another female guest sustaining injuries.
The group, comprising six guests and a guide, was on a safari expedition from Lufupa Camp when the unexpected charge took place around 9:30 am local time. A video captured the harrowing moment as the elephant chased down the tour group, causing chaos and panic among the occupants of the vehicle.
As the elephant closed in on the group's vehicle, the guide's urgent shouts of warning could be heard, but they were unable to evade the charging animal. The vehicle ultimately came to a halt just before the elephant knocked it over, with screams filling the air during the terrifying attack.
Tragically, the 80-year-old American tourist succumbed to her injuries sustained in the incident, while another female guest suffered injuries and was promptly transported to a private medical facility for treatment. The remaining four guests received treatment for minor injuries following the ordeal.
The devastating encounter serves as a stark reminder of the inherent risks associated with wildlife safaris, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety protocols and exercising caution when exploring natural habitats.

Etawah (Uttar Pradesh), Dec 8 (IANS) Lioness Tejaswini, paralyzed since the past few months, has died at the Lion Safari in Etawah.
The ailing big cat had stopped eating as its health had worsened a few days ago.
Safari deputy director A.K. Singh said the big cat was about 20 years old.
The carcass would now be sent to IVRI Centre in Bareilly for post-mortem, he said.
Tejaswini was brought from Gujarat on September 26, 2019.
It was expected that the Tejaswini would increase the clan here, therefore, it was mated with male lions but it could not give birth to any cub.
It may be recalled that in June this year Asiatic lion Manan, who fathered many cubs and played a major role in increasing the population of Asiatic lions in the state, died at Etawah Lion Safari.
Authorities said the 14-year-old Manan was confirmed to be suffering from skin cancer.
A test was conducted on Manan by a team of experts from the Indian Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Research, Bareilly. A surgery to remove a lump on the big cat's lower waist was also being considered.
The Safari administration had also written to the Indian Wildlife Research Institute, Bareilly, to send an expert, but Manan's body temperature was found to be high and the big cat was breathing through his mouth. Manan was born in 2008 in Junagadh.
