ADNOC Gas signs LNG supply deal with Hindustan Petroleum
Adnoc Gas and its subsidiaries, a world-class integrated gas processing and sales company, has signed a Heads of Agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to supply 0.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for a 10-year term. The agreement underscores Adnoc Gas' expanded global footprint, particularly across the high-demand Asian LNG market, reinforcing its role as a reliable global supplier of LNG. The long-term contract strengthens Adnoc Gas' partnership with key Indian players as it continues to support India's energy security, building on recent agreements with Indian Oil Corporation and GAIL India Limited. Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of Adnoc Gas, said: 'This long-term agreement with HPCL, our third with Indian companies in the past year, reflects the robust energy partnership between the UAE and India. This milestone underscores Adnoc Gas' ability to reliably meet rising global demand for LNG and support India's ambition to increase natural gas to 15% of its primary energy mix by 2030.' The LNG will be supplied from Adnoc Gas' Das Island liquefaction facility, which has a production capacity of 6 mmtpa. As the world's third longest-operating LNG plant, Das Island has shipped over 3,500 LNG cargoes worldwide since starting operations. Adnoc Gas is a key player in Adnoc's strategy to enhance its natural gas production capacity and expand global LNG exports. As a crucial transitional fuel, natural gas offers lower carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels and serves as an important raw material in industrial value chains, the company said. - TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2025 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

India's Modi, Brazil's Lula speak amid Trump tariff blitz
BENGALURU/BRASILIA: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke by phone on Thursday, their offices said, discussing a broad range of topics that included tariffs imposed by the United States on goods from both countries. Lula confirmed a state visit to India in early 2026 during the call, which occurred a day after the Brazilian leader told Reuters he would initiate a conversation among the BRICS group of countries on tackling U.S. President Donald Trump's levies. The group of major emerging economies also includes China, Russia and South Africa. "The leaders discussed the international economic scenario and the imposition of unilateral tariffs. Brazil and India are, to date, the two countries most affected," Lula's office said in a statement. Trump announced an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods on Wednesday, raising the total duty to 50%. The additional tariff, effective August 28, is meant to penalize India for continuing to buy Russian oil, Trump has said. Trump has also slapped a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil, with lower levels for sectors such as aircraft, energy and orange juice, tying the move to what he called a "witch hunt" against former President Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing ally on trial for an alleged coup plot to overturn his 2022 election loss. On their call, Lula and Modi reiterated their goal of boosting bilateral trade to over $20 billion annually by 2030, according to the Brazilian president's office, up from roughly $12 billion last year. Brasilia said they also agreed to expand the reach of the preferential trade agreement between India and the South American trade bloc Mercosur, and discussed the virtual payment platforms of their countries. Modi's office in its statement did not explicitly mention Trump or U.S. tariffs, but said "the two leaders exchanged views on various regional and global issues of mutual interest." India is already signaling it may seek to rebalance its global partnerships after Trump's salvo of tariffs on Indian goods. Modi is preparing for his first visit to China in more than seven years, suggesting a potential diplomatic realignment amid growing tensions with Washington. The Indian leader visited Lula in Brasilia last month.

Latin America's example to resolve border conflicts
With reference to Sholto Byrnes's op-ed Why did the Thailand-Cambodia conflict erupt suddenly and end swiftly? (July 31): It is tragic that Thailand and Cambodia are fighting over a Hindu temple on their border, apart from other prickly boundary issues. Many people have died in the strife. More than 135,000 people have been displaced. To fight over a Hindu temple, does not reflect well, not least of all because Hinduism teaches tolerance and co-existence. Both nations should consider co-owning and managing the temple, so that devotees from both countries can visit it at will. Many years ago, I visited the Garabi-Panambi Hydroelectric Complex, on the Uruguay River between Argentina and Brazil, from the Brazilian side. It comprises of two dams, over the Uruguay river. The river forms a natural boundary between Brazil and Argentina that jointly own the power complex, manage it and share the benefits. I was astounded and thrilled to see this co-operation. So many countries fight bitterly on their borders. However Brazil and Argentina have forged an example to benefit people. Thailand-Cambodia and so many other countries can learn from it. Rajendra Aneja, Mumbai, India The UAE's vision for growth With reference to James Langton's report As the UAE's population exceeds 11 million, here's where it all began (July 18): The UAE is such an amazing country and it's living proof of what can be achieved when the leaders have a vision and stick to it. Clementina M, Dubai The fallout of US tariffs With reference to Thomas Watkins's report Trump announces 25% US tariff on India 'for buying Russian weapons and energy' (July 30): This has sparked concern from several countries, including India. While the official response from New Delhi is awaited, analysts believe that India may explore diplomatic channels to negotiate or push back against the decision, especially given its strategic autonomy in foreign policy. Critics argue that such measures could harm global trade relations and escalate tensions among major economies at a time when global co-operation is crucial. India's response to this tariff will be closely watched, as it could set the tone for future engagements between the two nations, especially in areas of defence, trade, and strategic partnerships. Still the US is keeping to its terms and India to its national interests. We will have to wait and see the outcome.
