80 countries participate in Ministerial Roundtable

FMF strengthens the Kingdom’s leadership in enabling the Super Region to contribute to the metals industries of the future

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Future Minerals Forum (FMF) announced today that its Ministerial Roundtable, due to be held on 9 January 2024, ahead of the third edition of the Forum, is set to break attendance records. Of the eighty countries so far confirmed to attend, more than forty-five will be sending ministers to take part in discussions with stakeholders in this one meeting, in addition to 20 official international organizations, 30 non-governmental organizations and 13 business associations.

As the highest level gathering on minerals in the world, the Roundtable represents a historic turning point for the global mining and metals sector, the contribution of the Super Region extending from Africa to West and Central Asia, and the Kingdom’s leadership role in this sector and region.

The Ministerial Roundtable is a government-led multi-stakeholder initiative created by Saudi Arabia to enhance international cooperation on producing critical minerals involved in transforming the energy sector. The meeting comes when the mineral sector faces unprecedented challenges driven by the increasing demand for energy transition minerals and metals, where all countries are racing to secure stable supply chains.

Furthermore, the Ministerial Roundtable promotes the importance of collaboration to address this anticipated global challenge.

H.E. Vice-Minister for Mining Affairs, Khalid Al-Mudaifer, highlighted that the number of ministers who had confirmed their attendance at the Roundtable reflects the political and economic weight of the Kingdom and the increasing importance of minerals in recent years, this level of attendance demonstrates that FMF has established itself as a leading global platform for shaping the future of minerals. H.E. stated, “High-level government representation, from countries producing and consuming minerals, means that governments from across the world are now aware of minerals’ importance, as they seek to secure reliable supply chains for them. This is especially relevant to the strategic minerals that are essential to energy transformation programs and projects, and related industries.”

The Roundtable will include discussion of the competition that the metals market is witnessing at international level and how to create room for countries, in the midst of this competition, to reach agreement between themselves.

‫ينعقد في الرياض في 9 يناير القادم بحضور 80 دولة: رقم قياسي للوزراء المشاركين في الاجتماع الوزاري الثالث للوزراء المعنيين بشؤون التعدين

مؤتمر التعدين الدولي يعزز قيادة المملكة لتمكين منطقة التعدين الكبرى من المساهمة في صناعة معادن المستقبل

الرياض، المملكة العربية السعودية،, Jan. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

أكد بيان صحفي لوزارة الصناعة والثروة المعدنية أن الاجتماع الوزاري الدولي الثالث للوزراء المعنيين بشؤون التعدين سوف يشهد تمثيلًا غير مسبوق من حيث عدد الوزراء المشاركين فيه؛ حيث من المنتظر مشاركة أكثر من 80 دولة أكدت مشاركتها في هذا الاجتماع حتى الآن، منها 45 دولة ممثلة برتبة وزير، بالإضافة إلى 20 منظمة دولية رسمية، و30 منظمة غير حكومية و13 اتحادا للأعمال.

وتعد هذه المشاركة قياسية بالنظر إلى التقاء الوزراء المعنيين بشؤون التعدين مع أصحاب المصلحة في اجتماع واحد، ما يمثل، بحسب بيان الوزارة، منعطفاً تاريخياً لقطاع التعدين والمعادن العالمي ومساهمة منطقة التعدين الكبرى الممتدة من أفريقيا إلى غرب ووسط آسيا، والتأكيد على دور المملكة القيادي في هذا القطاع وهذه المنطقة.

ويهدف الاجتماع الوزاري الدولي الثالث، الذي ينعقد في 9يناير2024 في الرياض، ويتفرد مؤتمر التعدين الدولي بانعقاده، إلى تعزيز التعاون الدولي حول إنتاج المعادن الاستراتيجية التي تدخل في تحول قطاع الطاقة القطاعات التقنية الحديثة، وتسليط الضوء على إمكانات المنطقة التعدينية الكبرى، من خلال النقاش وتبادل الأفكار والخبرات بين ممثلي الحكومات من الوزراء والمسؤولين رفيعي المستوى والمنظمات الدولية في الأمم المتحدة والاتحادات التجارية والأعمال لمنتجي المعادن وكذلك المنظمات غير الحكومية المهتمة بالاستدامة والتنمية المجتمعية، لوضع أسس التنمية المستدامة لصناعة المعادن في العالم، واستغلال إمكانات المنطقة الهائلة، بالإضافة إلى بناء القدرات وجعل صناعة المعادن محركًا رئيسًا لتحقيق التطور الاقتصادي والاجتماعي عالميًا.

وفي تصريح لمعالي نائب الوزير لشؤون التعدين، المهندس خالد المديفر، أكد على أن عدد الوزراء الذين أكدوا حضورهم للاجتماع يعبر عن الثقل السياسي والاقتصادي للمملكة وينم عن الأهمية المتزايدة للمعادن في السنوات الأخيرة، ويدل هذا الحضور الكبير على أن مؤتمر التعدين الدولي رسخ مكانته باعتباره منصة عالمية رائدة لتشكيل مستقبل المعادن، كما أن وجود تمثيل حكومي رفيع المستوى، من الدول المنتجة والمستهلكة للمعادن، يعني أن جميع الحكومات من مختلف دول العالم باتت تدرك ما تكتسبه المعادن من أهمية في الوقت الحاضر، حيث تسعى الدول إلى تأمين سلاسل توريد موثوقة للمعادن، لاسيما المعادن الاستراتيجية التي تدخل في برامج ومشاريع تحول الطاقة والصناعات المرتبطة“.

وأضاف معاليه أن منطقة التعدين الكبرى لديها القدرة بأن تمد العالم بالمعادن اللازمة لازدهاره ونموه، حيث من المنتظر أن تلعب دوراً رئيساً في توفير ما يقدر بنحو 3 مليارات طن من المعادن الاستراتيجية اللازمة لإنشاء البنية اللازمة التي يحتاجها العالم لتحقيق أهداف الحياد الصفري من الانبعاثات.

ومن ضمن ما سيناقشه الاجتماع القادم المنافسة التي يشهدها سوق المعادن على المستوى الدولي وإفساح المجال بين الدول، في خضم هذه المنافسة، للتعاون فيما بينها باعتبار أن ذلك هو السبيل الوحيد لتوفير ما تحتاجه كافة دول العالم من المعادن، في الوقت الذي يمكن للبلدان المنتجة، من خلال هذا التعاون، خلق قيمة محلية عالية من مواردها المعدنية تدفع بمجتمعاتها إلى مزيد من التطور والازدهار.

وفي هذا السياق سيتم النظر، خلال الاجتماع، في الخطوات التي تم اتخاذها لتحويل المناقشات إلى منطلقات عملية على أرض الواقع عبر المبادرات الأربع الرئيسة التي تم تحديدها في الدورة السابقة من الاجتماع الوزاري، والتي اشتملت على وضع مبادئ لإنشاء إطار تعاون دولي للمعادن الاستراتيجية، وتطوير مراكز إقليمية للتميز للمساعدة في بناء القدرات، وبناء أطر بيئية ومجتمعية ومقاييس شفافة للتأكد من الاستفادة الكبرى للمنطقة من النمو المتوقع في استخراج وإنتاج المعادن، وإنشاء مراكز لتصنيع المعادن الخضراء في المملكة وفي المنطقة تقوم في أعمالها على تسخير تقنيات الطاقة النظيفة.

يذكر أن مؤتمر التعدين الدولي الذي تبدأ جلساته وفعالياته خلال الفترة من 10-11 يناير المقبل، هو تجمع عالمي لمناقشة مستقبل المعادن ومستقبل التعدين في العالم وكيفية زيادة مساهمة المنطقة الكبرى، التي تمتد من أفريقيا إلى غرب ووسط آسيا. وسيشارك في جلساته، هذا العام، 220 متحدث من بينهم كبار الرؤساء التنفيذيين لأكبر شركات التعدين والشركات ذات العلاقة بقطاع المعادن والتمويل. ومن المتوقع حضور ما يقارب 13 ألف مشارك في المؤتمر.

ROSEN, NATIONAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages National Instruments Corporation Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – NATI

NEW YORK, Jan. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds sellers of common stock of National Instruments Corporation (NASDAQ: NATI) between May 25, 2022 and January 17, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 29, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you sold National Instruments common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the National Instruments class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=20784 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 29, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false statements and/or omitted material information that artificially deflated the price of National Instruments common stock. The lawsuit alleges that at the time that National Instruments was repurchasing National Instruments stock, defendants knew that National Instruments had received a formal acquisition offer from Emerson Electric Co. Accordingly, National Instruments had an obligation to disclose that it had received a formal acquisition offer from Emerson or abstain from purchasing National Instruments stock from unsuspecting investors.

To join the National Instruments class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=20784 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

10K cancer patients in Gaza deprived of medication

Gaza: About 10,000 cancer patients in the Gaza Strip are currently facing a critical situation as they are unable to access essential medication, Palestinian health sources said on Tuesday.

The sources revealed that this dire circumstance has arisen as a result of the forced closure of the Palestinian-Turkish Friendship Hospital, which has been rendered inoperative due to the ongoing aggression against the Strip, lasting nearly 88 days.

The sources reported that cancer patients in Gaza are enduring inhumane conditions, and lacking necessary cancer treatment medications.

Last October, the Israeli airstrikes severely damaged the third and final floor of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, rendering it inoperable as a consequence of the Israeli aggression.

The Turkish government had funded the construction of this medical facility, which stands as one of the largest hospitals in Palestine and the sole institution dedicated to treating cancer patients in Gaza. Spanning an area of 34,800 square meters
and comprising three floors, the hospital features a total of 180 beds.

PM Shtayyeh briefs Greek Consul-General on ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestinian people

RAMALLAH: Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh met today with the Greek Consul General to Palestine Dimitris Angelopoulo in Ramallah, where he briefed him on the latest political developments, including the ongoing Israeli occupation aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem.

Shtayyeh, during a meeting at his office in Ramallah, briefed the Greek official on efforts made to stop the aggression against Gaza, bring in relief and medical aid and restore electricity and water there.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of having international pressure to open all crossings with the Gaza Strip to bring in more aid and provide treatment to the wounded, stressing the complete rejection of the Cyprus-proposed sea corridor to Gaza.

He reiterated the importance of the European Union’s role of working toward coming up with a peace initiative, creating a political horizon to end the occupation and finding a just solution to the Palestinian cause that includes
all the Palestinian territories in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, most importantly Jerusalem, and to advance toward the mutual recognition of the State of Palestine and its full membership in the United Nations.

Mohammed Al-Houthi calls on Netherlands not to be drawn into battle in Red Sea

Member of the Supreme Political Council, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, called on the Netherlands not to be drawn into a battle in the Red Sea, and to put pressure on ‘Israel’ to stop its aggression against the Gaza Strip.

In an interview with Dutch television NOS, the member of the Supreme Political Council reiterated that the Yemeni demands to stop genocide, terrorism and aggression against the people of Gaza and the Palestinian people and to lift the siege are purely humanitarian demands.

He said: ‘If the Dutch want to work to secure international navigation and prevent the outbreak of wars, they must put pressure on Israel to stop its aggression and lift the siege on two million and one hundred thousand people inside Gaza, both Muslims and Christians.’

The senior political member said, ‘America was unable to do anything today, and it is too incapable to be in another alliance, and the more warships there are in the Red Sea, the easier it will be for our armed forces.’

In the interview, the senior political
member addressed several issues that confirm the steadfastness of the position of the Republic of Yemen in supporting the Palestinian people and developments in the situation in the Red and Arab Bahrain and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

HEBRON: Israeli colonists attacked this evening Palestinian farmers in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, and prevented them from plowing their land.

According to local sources, a group of colonists attacked farmers while they were plowing their land; which is threatened with seizure by the Israeli occupation.
