Pakistan to continue import of LNG from Qatar

A Pakistani cabinet minister says Islamabad will continue to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar under a 15-year agreement, despite the severing of diplomatic ties with Qatar by Saudi Arabia and some other countries.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the federal minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, said Qatar and Pakistan last year signed a $1 billion agreement, under which Qatar's Liquefied Gas Company Limited will sell LNG from 2016 to year 2031 to state-run Pakistan State Oil.

He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.

Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.

The Qatari Interior Ministry said late Wednesday that the website of the Qatar News Agency was initially hacked in April with "high techniques and innovative methods."

It said hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24.

The ministry did not say who it suspected carried out the attack. It also thanked the FBI and the British National Commission for Combating Crime for assisting it in its investigation.

The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday (05.06.2017.)

Kuwait's emir has traveled to Qatar and met that country's leader as part of his efforts to mediate an end to a crisis that's seen Arab nations cut ties to the energy-rich country and attempt to isolate it.

Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah was met planeside by Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, when he arrived on Wednesday night.

The two held talks, though details of their discussions were not released. Sheikh Sabah earlier Wednesday traveled to Dubai where he met with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who also serves as prime minister and vice president of the UAE.

Sheikh Sabah also has traveled to Saudi Arabia in his efforts.

Increased number of Chengdu tourists flying to Seychelles expected 

Seychelles' tourism authorities are optimistic about the first direct and non-stop charter flight operated by Sichuan Airlines, from Chengdu Province in China due in November. The principal secretary for tourism, Sherin Francis, said that they expect an increase in the number of visitors from the destination, while speaking to reporters after an introduction to the Chengdu event at the Chinese Embassy on Friday. The event was held to show local businesses and tourism operatives in Seychelles what kind of opportunities are available in the Chinese Province. Francis said, «The direct flights will boost tourism arrivals from China and will help us diversify our markets as we have to reduce our dependence on our traditional markets.» The Seychelles' economy is heavily reliant on tourism, with most of its visitors coming from European countries. According to figures from the National Bureau of Statistics on September 15, a total of 2,035 visitors from China visited Seychelles in 2024, an increase of 87 percent compared to the same time last year. Chengdu, the vibrant capital of Sichuan province in China, is a major economic and transportation hub, making it an ideal departure point for Chinese visitors eager to explore Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean. Francis explained that the new chartered flights will benefit the country since «we did well in the number of visitors from China when we had direct flights between the two countries. In the years when we did not have direct flights we found it hard to bring in visitors from China, even though we had many promotions going on,» she added. The principal secretary explained that this was due to travellers having to go through different hubs before landing in Seychelles. In addition to boosting tourism, the new connection is also expected to open new avenues for exchanges, business and investments between the two countries and encourage more Seychellois to visit China. Francis revealed that many agents are working with her department to offer packages to those wishing to visit Chengdu.

«Tourism Seychelles» announces return of 4 major international airlines

German airline, Condor, and Swiss leisure and charter airline, Edelweiss Air, resumed their operations to Seychelles on September 21 and 22 respectively. In a press communique on Saturday, Tourism Seychelles, the marketing branch of the Department of Tourism, announced the return of the airlines and two others, connecting the island nation to key European markets. Russian airline, Aeroflot, will make its return as of October 2 with two flights per week while Turkish Airlines is set to make its much-anticipated return to Seychelles on October 28 with four rotations per week. «The return of these carriers signals a significant boost for the tourism industry, offering tourists a wider range of convenient flight options to reach the islands,» said Tourism Seychelles. Tourism Seychelles said these resumed flights will provide a crucial link between Seychelles and vital European hubs, making the islands more accessible to travellers from around the world. Earlier this year, the organisation announced the first direct, non-stop charter flight between Seychelles and Chengdu, China, operated by Sichuan Airlines. This new route is set to begin operations in the last quarter of 2024, further extending Seychelles' global footprint and tapping into the vast Chinese travel market. Bernadette Willemin, director general for Destination Marketing at Tourism Seychelles, said Tourism Seychelles is actively negotiating with additional airline partners as part of its long-term strategy to enhance the accessibility of the islands. «We are thrilled to welcome back these key airline partners. As a small island nation dependent on tourism, this development is expected to invigorate the nation's tourism industry by increasing the influx of visitors. The increased connectivity will enable more travellers from across the globe to discover the unique experiences our islands have to offer. We look forward to seeing a positive impact on our tourism sector as these flights resume,» she said. With a continued focus on improving accessibility, Tourism Seychelles said it remains dedicated to fostering collaborations with both current and potential airline partners. These efforts not only serve to increase flight options but also ensure that Seychelles is well-positioned to attract a diverse array of international visitors. As Seychelles gears up for an influx of travellers, the return of these international airlines and the introduction of new routes demonstrate the islands' resilience and commitment to remaining a top global travel destination, said the statement. Tourism is the top contributor to the economy of Seychelles, a group of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean.
