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.

SINGAPORE - More scams have hit the food and beverage (F&B) industry this festive season, putting several affected business operators on high alert to minimise damage.The incidents cut across different segments.They range from impersonation of food delivery platforms to scammers seeking payment to take down bad Google reviews to, more recently, the rise of fake restaurant websites that take reservations and online orders.Such incidents are not isolated to Singapore.In South Korea, several news outlets have reported on fake vouchers sold for a meal at the famed Mosu restaurant in Seoul by chef Anh Sung-jae, a judge on Netflix reality show Culinary Class Wars (2024 to present).Chef Anh posted a photo of the voucher on social media in January, urging the public to beware of imposters. The voucher listed a specific date and time, along with his name and signature.Prior to this, the restaurant also faced an impersonation scam in March 2025. It involved someone who posed as a telecommunications company employee rerouting calls made to Mosu's phone number and requesting meal payments from customers.
Bus commuters can expect instances of missing bus arrival timings or longer headways to continue to decrease as the Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) system's performance stabilises.In an update on Saturday (Feb 7), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said that the availability of bus arrival timings has been restored to above 90 per cent.The restoration involved 4,000 buses and its engineers and contractors had to clear the memory cache and manually update firmware for the transmitters, LTA explained.Some transmitters also had to be replaced.LTA said on Jan 28 that the root cause of the issue was a memory cache build-up in the on-board system of some buses.This disrupted data transmissions between on-board bus systems and the central ETA processing servers, and led to missing bus arrival timings.
