"Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) National Bookshelf" Gets an Upgrade, with Four New Renowned University Sites
After successfully establishing six landmark cultural spaces in Qingdao last year, the project has achieved significant overseas expansion this year, with four new bookshelf locations at prestigious institutions: Saint Petersburg State University of Economics in Russia, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Kazakhstan, Tribhuvan University in Nepal, and Royal University of Agriculture in Cambodia. This overseas expansion has significantly enhanced the international influence of the "SCO National Bookshelf" as a cultural exchange platform for SCO member countries.
Meanwhile, with the active coordination and resource integration of Qingdao Publishing Group, the newly added overseas sites have formed an effective cultural linkage mechanism with the local bookshelves in Qingdao. Several bookstores jointly hosted SCO member countries-themed book fairs and "Reading Festival" events. The activities were diverse, covering book displays, photography and painting exhibitions, as well as VR experiences, vividly showcasing the cultural heritage, customs, history, technological achievements, and economic successes of SCO member countries. These events provided citizens with rich channels to learn about SCO countries.

India ready for trade deals but not to meet deadlines, minister says
India is ready to make trade deals in the national interest, but not just to meet deadlines, Trade Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday when asked whether a deal could be reached with the U.S. in time for a July 9 deadline set by Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 26% tariff on all imported Indian goods, among the tariffs due to take effect next week on countries around the world who fail to reach agreements before a deadline he set in April. "Free trade agreements are possible only when there is two-way benefit, it should be a win-win agreement," Goyal told reporters. "National interest will always be supreme. Keeping that in mind, if a good deal can be made, then India is always ready to make a deal with developed countries," he said. "India never does any trade deal on the basis of deadline or time frame…we will accept it only when it is completely finalised and in the national interest." Indian officials returned from Washington this week after an extended visit to iron out lingering concerns on both sides. Trade talks between India and the U.S. have hit roadblocks over disagreements on import duties for auto components, steel, and farm goods. India is resisting opening up its agriculture and dairy sectors while asking for a favourable tariff for its goods entering the U.S. compared to countries like Vietnam and China. Separately, India proposed retaliatory duties against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization, saying Washington's 25% tariff on automobiles and some auto parts would affect $2.89 billion of India's exports, according to an official notification. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump had earlier agreed to sign a bilateral trade agreement to expand trade to $500 billion by 2030, up from $191 billion in 2024.

Santos adds QatarEnergy Trading to its impressive list of customers
Australia's Santos, which is the target of a record acquisition by Abu Dhabi's ADNOC, has added QatarEnergy Trading (QET) as its new customer. Santos signed a mid-term LNG supply contract with QatarEnergy Trading to supply approximately 0.5 million tonnes of LNG per annum over a two-year period starting in 2026. The LNG will be supplied from Santos' portfolio of world-class LNG assets on a delivered ex-ship basis. Kevin Gallagher, Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said the contract with QET is an 'extension of our existing strong business relationship and a great opportunity for both Santos and QET to leverage their expertise in Asian LNG markets'. 'This contract reinforces our ability to leverage our flexible LNG portfolio to achieve great outcomes for Santos and our customers. It further complements recent mid- and long-term LNG Sales and Purchase Agreements, underscoring Santos' robust LNG portfolio and strong customer relationships in the region,' Gallagher added. 'We continue to see very strong demand in Asia for high heating value LNG from projects such as Barossa and PNG LNG, as well as for reliable regional supply. Santos remains committed to supporting the energy security and emissions reduction strategies of our valued customers across Asia.' Santos' portfolio of high-quality, tier-one customers now comprises Hokkaido Gas Company, Shizuoka Gas, TotalEnergies Gas & Power Asia Limited, Glencore Singapore, Mitsubishi Corporation, PETRONAS, KOGAS, Osaka Gas, JERA, Sinopec, CPC Corporation, and now QatarEnergy Trading. The portfolio is around 90 per cent contracted and around 85 per cent oil-linked on average between 2025-29. Average contract pricing across the whole portfolio is estimated at around 14.7 per cent slope to Brent over 2025 to 2027. With this, Santos continues to build a world-class portfolio of LNG business. Santos can deliver incremental margin over and above the contracted pricing by leveraging the flexibility of its equity-lifted volumes combined with its portfolio of destination supply contracts, utilising charter LNG vessels. Last month, Santos accepted an offer from ADNOC, through its investment arm XRG, along with Abu Dhabi Development Holding Company (ADQ) and private equity firm Carlyle, for the largest all-cash corporate buyout in Australian history to acquire all it shares. Australia's second-largest gas and energy company had earlier rejected two previous offers from the XRG consortium, but said it supports the all-cash US$18.7 billion indicative proposal. Several regulatory clearances will be required before the transaction is finalised, but if and when it does, it would be the third-largest takeover in Australian history.
