  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Gaza: ‘Unbearable’ suffering continues, UN official tells Security Council

    Source: United Nations 4

    Briefing ambassadors in the Security Council, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East Khaled Khiari said more than 1,000 Palestinians had been killed since mid-June alone, many of them while seeking aid.

    Citing figures from the Gazan health authorities, he reported that the total number of Palestinian fatalities since 7 October 2023 had surpassed 56,500.

    “The level of suffering and brutality in Gaza is unbearable,” Mr. Khiari said. “The continued collective punishment of the Palestinian people is unjustifiable.”

    Killed trying to access aid

    Mr. Khiari cited multiple incidents involving the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) opening fire near food distribution points.

    On 17 June, at least 50 people were killed and 200 injured in Khan Younis when an IDF tank opened fire on a crowd waiting for UN World Food Programme (WFP) aid trucks.

    Once again a week later, IDF troops reportedly opened fire near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, this time killing 49 Palestinians and injuring 197 others.

    “We strongly condemn the loss of lives and injuries of Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza,” Mr. Khiari said. “We call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for perpetrators to be held accountable.”

    He emphasised that the UN “will not participate in any aid delivery modality that does not comply with the fundamental humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence, and neutrality,” a sentiment which other UN officials have repeatedly said as well.

    Strong condemnation

    Mr. Khiari reiterated the UN’s strong condemnation of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups for their attacks in Israel, which killed over 1,200 people and led to more than 250 being taken hostage. Fifty hostages, including one woman, remain in captivity.

    “Nothing can justify these acts of terror. We remain appalled that hostages may be subjected to ongoing ill-treatment and that the bodies of hostages continue to be withheld,” he said.

    At the same time, he also condemned “the widespread killing and injury of civilians in Gaza, including children and women, and the destruction of homes, schools, hospitals and mosques.”

    Rising violence in the West Bank

    In the occupied West Bank, Israeli raids and settler violence have escalated.  

    Mr. Khiari reported that a 15-year-old boy and an elderly woman were killed in separate incidents on 25 June. Armed settlers also killed several Palestinians during attacks in Surif and Kafr Malik.

    “The escalating violence in the occupied West Bank is alarming,” Khiari said, warning that military operations and settler expansion are leading to fatalities, displacement and destruction.

    Iran-Israel ceasefire brings hope to the region

    Mr. Khiari concluded his briefing with comments on the wider Middle East region, particularly the recent flare-up between Israel and Iran.

    He welcomed the 24 June ceasefire agreement between the two countries, announced by US President Donald Trump, and credited US and Qatari mediation.

    “We hope that this ceasefire can be replicated in the other conflicts in the region – nowhere is this more needed than in Gaza,” he said.

    Washington, D.C.–U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued the following statement after the President signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law:

    “Today, as we celebrate the creation of our extraordinary country and the independence on which it was formed, we have cause for additional celebration: the One Big Beautiful Bill Act being signed into law. 

    “This landmark legislation fulfills President Trump and Congress’s promises to the American people.  It makes permanent the successful 2017 Trump tax cuts and delivers additional tax relief to hardworking Idahoans while investing in our border, modernizing our military and restoring American energy dominance. 

    “It also takes significant steps to get our fiscal house in order, reducing federal spending by over $1.5 trillion and delivering over $400 billion in deficit reduction.  When taking the pro-growth economic effects of Trump’s agenda into account, which the Council of Economic Advisers estimates will increase federal revenues by more than $4 trillion, we are achieving nearly $4.5 trillion in deficit reduction.

    “This bill also improves and strengthens programs like Medicaid by targeting waste, fraud and abuse, ensuring it remains financially viable for those it was designed to help.  It also delivers significant new tax relief to low- and middle-class families and workers through policies like a boosted standard deduction, increased tax benefits for child care, no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime and tax relief for seniors.  

    “These are the policies the American people voted for, and they will make our country safer, stronger and more prosperous.  On this and every Fourth of July, may God continue to bless America and our enduring exceptionalism.” 

    As Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal tax and federal health care policy, Crapo is one of the chief architects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  For more information on the provisions within the Finance Committee’s jurisdiction, click HERE.

    Washington, D.C.–U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued the following statement on House passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: 

    “We worked closely with our House colleagues throughout this process to deliver on a shared goal of making our country stronger, safer and more prosperous.  With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we are extending pro-growth tax policy, ensuring Americans can keep more of their hard-earned money, providing additional tax relief to those who need it most, and taking long-overdue action toward getting our fiscal house in order. 

    “This legislation achieves the most significant spending reductions in history.  According to nonpartisan scorekeepers, by targeting waste, fraud and abuse in our federal spending programs, it reduces federal spending by over $1.5 trillion and will reduce the deficit by more than $500 billion over ten years.  That is before taking into account the dynamic pro-growth elements of the bill, which the Council of Economic Advisers estimates will increase federal revenues by more than $4 trillion when combined with other elements of President Trump’s economic agenda.  That’s nearly $4.5 trillion in deficit reduction.

    “Despite false narratives about ‘tax cuts for billionaires and corporations,’ the reality is this legislation not only prevents massive across-the-board tax hikes, but also provides new tax relief that overwhelmingly benefits low- and middle-class families and workers.  Through policies like a standard deduction boost, tax benefits for child care affordability, and delivering on the President’s agenda on no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime and tax relief for seniors, low- and middle-income Americans are the biggest winners under this bill.

    “Today is a good day for the American people, and I applaud my colleagues and thank them for their partnership in this historic effort that will restore economic prosperity and opportunity for all Americans.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Bipartisan Southwest Caucus Co-Chairs Vasquez and Ciscomani Introduce Legislation to Boost Economic Development in Border Communities

    Source: US Representative Gabe Vasquez’s (NM-02)

    Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representatives Gabe Vasquez (D-NM-02) and Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ-06), Co-Chairs of the Bipartisan Southwest Caucus, announced the reintroduction of the Economic Opportunity for Border Communities Act—a bipartisan bill that would direct the Department of Commerce to develop a national strategy for strengthening economies along the U.S.-Mexico border.

    The legislation recognizes the critical role border communities play in facilitating international trade, agriculture, and tourism, and aims to ensure they receive the federal investment they need to thrive.

    “Our border communities are economic engines for our entire nation, but too often, they’re treated as an afterthought by Washington,” said Vasquez. “This bill ensures we take a serious, strategic approach to growing good-paying jobs, expanding infrastructure, and investing in the long-term success of our border towns. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan effort with Congressman Ciscomani to bring long-overdue opportunity to the communities that drive so much of our country’s trade and prosperity.”

    “Our border communities are vital to the economic success of our country,” said Ciscomani. “In order to continue driving our economy forward, we must ensure that border communities have the tools, resources, and support they need to continue growing. This legislation is a commonsense effort aimed at increasing jobs in key sectors including trade, manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture. I am proud to join Rep. Gabe Vasquez on this bipartisan solution to deliver real results for border communities in Arizona and across the southwest.”

    The Economic Opportunity for Border Communities Act requires the Department of Commerce to work with federal partners—including USDA, HUD, and DOT—to build a national strategy focused on:

    • Growing jobs in logistics, international trade, manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture
    • Improving vocational and workforce training
    • Lowering the cost of exports and imports
    • Coordinating infrastructure investments and economic development programs across federal agencies

    Under the bill, the Department of Commerce must deliver its strategy to Congress within one year of enactment. The strategy will include assessments of tax and investment incentives, regulatory recommendations, and a roadmap for better coordination between federal agencies and local stakeholders.

    “Thank you, Congressman Vasquez and Congressman Ciscomani, for your leadership on behalf of border communities such as Santa Teresa. This bipartisan bill will bring much needed investments to the communities responsible for cross-border trade and will support countless good-paying jobs in Southern New Mexico.” – Jerry Pacheco, President of the Border Industrial Association.

    The Bipartisan Southwest Caucus continues to advocate for pragmatic, community-focused policies that address the unique needs of the border region while promoting safety, prosperity, and opportunity for all.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Kingdom of Lesotho: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2025 Article IV Mission

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    July 7, 2025

    A Concluding Statement describes the preliminary findings of IMF staff at the end of an official staff visit (or ‘mission’), in most cases to a member country. Missions are undertaken as part of regular (usually annual) consultations under Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, in the context of a request to use IMF resources (borrow from the IMF), as part of discussions of staff monitored programs, or as part of other staff monitoring of economic developments.

    The authorities have consented to the publication of this statement. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF Executive Board for discussion and decision.

    • Against a backdrop of low growth, high unemployment, and widespread poverty, Lesotho’s government-led growth model has long struggled to deliver on the authorities’ growth and development goals. Now, an additional set of external shocks has further clouded the outlook. From a modest peak of 2.6 percent in FY24/25, GDP growth is expected to almost halve to 1.4 percent in FY25/26, reflecting a much more turbulent and uncertain external environment. The peg to the Rand has continued to serve Lesotho well, helping bring inflation down from a peak of 8.2 percent in early 2024 to 4.0 percent in April 2025.
    • Prudent government spending during FY24/25, along with buoyant South African Customs Union (SACU) transfers and water royalties have once again resulted in a sizable fiscal surplus. This has enhanced longer-term fiscal sustainability and helped strengthen foreign reserves, which supports the peg. Looking forward, increased water royalties from South Africa will further boost revenue, and help offset easing SACU transfers.
    • The main challenge for the authorities is to transform these fiscal surpluses into sustainable and high-quality growth — now even more urgent in light of recent shocks. Public funds should be saved wisely and spent strategically, with an emphasis on high-return investment projects. More effective use of public funds, alongside structural reforms, should support longer-term private sector-led growth.

    Washington, DC: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team led by Mr. Andrew Tiffin held meetings in Maseru with the authorities of Lesotho and other counterparts from the public and private sectors and civil society from June 4 to 17, 2025, as part of the 2025 Article IV consultation. Discussions focused on the mix of fiscal and monetary policies to ensure macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability, as well as the structural reforms needed to create jobs, reduce poverty, and facilitate the transition to private-sector-led growth.

    Context and Outlook

    IMF staff estimates suggest that real GDP growth picked up modestly in FY24/25 to 2.6 percent, up from 2.0 percent the previous year. In large part, this reflects spillovers from the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP-II), which has helped offset declining competitiveness in the apparel sector and the impact on exports of lower diamond prices. Headline inflation was 4.0 percent in April, down from a peak of 8.2 percent in January 2024. The gap between CPI inflation in Lesotho and South Africa mainly reflects the larger share of food in Lesotho’s CPI basket.

    Lesotho’s fiscal balance registered a sizable surplus in FY24/25. South African Customs Union (SACU) transfers are up by almost 14 percent of GDP compared with FY23/24, and recurrent spending has remained steady as a proportion of GDP, owing to a moratorium on public sector hiring and a reduction in the in-kind social assistance benefits. Capital spending increased but execution remained short of budgeted levels. The net impact has been a fiscal surplus of 9.0 percent of GDP in FY24/25, which helped lift gross international reserves to 6 months of imports; strengthening the peg. With less issuance of domestic debt, clearance of domestic arrears, and repayment of an IMF arrangement under the Rapid Financing Facility, public debt fell to 56.6 percent of GDP in FY24/25, down from 61.5 percent in FY23/24.

    However, a more uncertain global environment has undermined Lesotho’s economic outlook, with growth expected to almost halve to 1.4 percent in FY25/26. In particular, the sudden shift in policies by the United States on tariffs and official development assistance (ODA) will hit the economy hard. Details of US intentions are still unclear, but as a small and vulnerable country, Lesotho is one of the most exposed countries in Africa to changing US priorities. Exports to the United States represent 10 percent of Lesotho’s GDP, and foreign assistance from the United States has typically amounted to around 3½ percent of GDP, mostly concentrated on disease prevention and other critical health needs.

    Looking ahead, Lesotho has options. SACU transfers are expected to drop to their long-term average this year (down 6 percentage points to less than 20 percent of GDP). Filling the gap, however, renegotiated water royalty rates under the Treaty with South Africa on the LHWP-II represent a significant source of revenue—rising to almost 13 percent of GDP in FY25/26 and then settling at around 10 percent of GDP every year over the medium term. In sum, domestic revenues are expected to be around 8-10 percent of GDP higher than just a few years ago. On the monetary side, the peg to the Rand continues to serve the economy well and should remain the main focus of monetary policy. Policy rates should continue to follow South African rates closely. The central bank should take advantage of the current easing cycle to close the remaining gap with South Africa.

    The key challenge for the authorities is to transform Lesotho’s fiscal surpluses into sustained, high-quality growth. A striking lesson from the country’s recent history, however, is that greater public spending is no guarantee of higher living standards. As a proportion of GDP, for example, government spending in Lesotho is well above international norms—more than double the SACU average. But this has not been matched by improved economic performance. Indeed, real per capita incomes shrunk by 12 percent between 2016 and 2023, and unemployment and inequality remain high. Considering the possible uses of Lesotho’s surpluses, therefore, the main goal of the authorities should be to ensure that this time is different, and that these funds are saved wisely and spent strategically.

    Saving Wisely

    Greater savings will require continued fiscal prudence. To this end, the authorities should maintain their efforts to control recurrent spending and enhance capacity in tax revenue analysis and administration.

    • Contain the wage bill. Lesotho’s wage bill (as a share of GDP) is the highest among SACU members and triple the sub-Saharan African average. Reducing the amount spent on wages has long been a key recommendation of past Article IV consultations. And the government’s continued restraint over the past year has been a critical step in the right direction—this effort should continue, with a continued moratorium on hiring, streamlining of the establishment list, and regular reviews of the compensation system. It should be noted, however, that reducing the wage bill is not an end in itself. Ultimately the objective is a fair and performance-based public employment system that rewards productivity and ensures better delivery of public services.
    • Improve tax policy design and strengthen tax administration. The Tax Policy Unit has been established and key staff are being hired. With help from the IMF, the unit’s capacity to accurately forecast revenue and improve tax-system design should be strengthened quickly. On tax administration, a phased reform strategy is being implemented in line with the IMF’s 2023 TADAT assessment. Prompt approval of the two tax policy bills and tax administration bill could help address identified deficiencies in many areas.
    • Improve the efficiency of social spending to target the most needy. Social spending is several times that of neighboring countries as a share of GDP but the targeting of social safety schemes should be improved. For example, the tertiary loan bursary fund education scheme (2.7 percent of GDP) provides loans to many who typically do not need support and fail to repay (loan recovery is only 2 percent). A better targeted safety net would not only free resources for the most vulnerable but would also help enhance Lesotho’s resilience to new shocks. In this regard, the authorities should move proactively to take stock of services likely to be disrupted by cuts in U.S. assistance and swiftly develop a coordinated plan to ensure continued delivery of essential health services. More broadly, the authorities should enhance the operation of existing cash transfer programs, reinstate the national digital system for social registry to better streamline the identification and registration of beneficiaries, and accelerate the deployment of new benefit delivery tools.

    The authorities should quickly establish a well-governed savings framework (stabilization fund). The details of a framework have been developed in close cooperation with Lesotho’s development partners and aim to ensure a stable source of government funding going forward, which in turn would allow for uninterrupted service delivery even in the face of shocks. With sufficient savings, the fund might also help finance future development spending, such as infrastructure investment. To be effective, the fund needs to be anchored by a clear and credible fiscal rule, which would guide the conditions under which funds are deposited and withdrawn. The fund should also be set within a firm legal framework, with a clear governance structure that is independent from political influence, safeguarding Lesotho’s savings until they can be used wisely. In this regard, the authorities are currently developing the policy, expected by July 2025, that will guide the stipulated legal framework for the stabilization fund.

    • Within the framework, a key anchor would be a target for Lesotho’s public debt. Until very recently, debt has trended steadily upward, rising sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline over the past year has been welcome, but the IMF’s Debt Sustainability Analysis still suggests that, although the risk of debt distress is “moderate,” there is little scope to absorb any further shocks. These might easily push debt to a level where the risk of debt distress is high. A medium-term goal of 50 percent of GDP would be appropriate, as it would allow for greater resilience and is consistent with the debt anchor proposed in the fiscal rules. The authorities should therefore scale back new borrowing but might also consider first retiring existing (high cost) debt. In addition, the authorities should clear any remaining or new domestic arrears as soon as possible.

    Spending Strategically

    Improved public investment management is needed to increase the quality of capital spending. Before Lesotho’s savings are allocated for investment or infrastructure projects, sufficient controls should be in place to ensure that this investment represents value for money. Historically, high levels of public investment in Lesotho have not resulted in a capital stock of equal quality. And owing to longstanding capacity constraints, the capital budget continues to be significantly under executed. Authorities should take steps to boost the efficiency of public investment, including by creating a centralized asset registry, establishing a prioritized project pipeline and enhancing capacity for project management and monitoring. In this regard, the request for a Public Investment Management Assessment from the IMF is timely and welcome.

    In support of efforts to ensure value for money, the authorities should redouble their efforts to enhance Public Financial Management (PFM). Without these measures in place, there is a danger that new revenues will simply be wasted.

    • Budget preparation and execution must be strengthened to enhance budget credibility. This requires improved expenditure control through better collaboration between departments, monitoring and identification of mis-appropriated funds, and regular and timely audits. More broadly, the authorities should implement the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework to better align policy objectives with budget allocations over a multi-year timeframe and enhance long-term planning.
    • To build further trust in PFM, the authorities should strengthen internal controls within the integrated financial management system. The authorities should accelerate the deployment of digital signatures to strengthen payment processes and prevent the accumulation of arrears.
    • The authorities should also continue their efforts to ensure a comprehensive analysis and management of fiscal risks. Several fiscal risks have materialized in recent years, including from collapsed public private partnerships; unquantified arrears; and transfers and contingent liabilities from state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The authorities should further strengthen the effectiveness of SOE management and reporting and continue the release of a fiscal risk statement as part of the annual budget process.

    As a matter of priority, therefore, pending PFM legislation should be passed as soon as possible. Currently, the most pressing items include i) the Public Financial Management and Accountability Bill; ii) the Public Debt Management Bill; and iii) secondary legislation to implement the 2023 Public Procurement Act. Together, this legislation will improve the efficiency and transparency of procurement, enhance fiscal responsibility and budget processes, strengthen financial management and fiscal reporting. The legislation will also help ensure that the government’s public borrowing plan is well integrated with the budget process.

    With these measures and controls in place, Lesotho would be in a much better position to transform its accumulated surpluses into high-quality growth. In line with the authorities’ announced shift in emphasis from recurrent spending to capital spending, a focus on the cost effectiveness of public investment would allow for increased levels of better-quality investment, and ultimately higher growth. This would naturally entail lower fiscal surpluses going forward. However, in this context, a more relaxed fiscal stance would not necessarily entail a higher debt path, but would instead result in a slower, but acceptable, pace of reserve accumulation.

    Supporting Private-Sector Growth

    Improved public investment will need to be accompanied by broad structural reforms. Better service delivery and higher-quality investment will be helpful. But the current government-led growth model has resulted in an economy with a small and undiversified private sector—contributing to low productivity, anemic private investment, declining competitiveness, and high informality. In parallel, therefore, the authorities should accelerate efforts to unlock the growth potential of the private sector.

    • Supporting financial inclusion and literacy is imperative. Evidence suggests that access to finance remains a key challenge, particularly for small and informal firms. This in turn undermines private-sector job creation. The authorities have addressed this through various interventions, including partial credit guarantees, establishment of a moveable asset registry, and support of a credit bureau. And signs of a positive impact are emerging, particularly in financial access for small enterprises. Building on this success, the new Financial Sector Development Strategy and National Financial Inclusion Strategy are welcome and should be implemented swiftly as a matter of priority.
    • Providing a stable, predictable, and well-regulated business environment is also essential. For larger firms, needed reforms include measures to reduce the cost of doing business, and efforts to boost private investor confidence—including through transparent and consistent regulatory frameworks, greater policy consistency, and a clear long-term strategy for infrastructure development. To reverse the long-term decline of some industries (e.g., textiles) and take full advantage of new opportunities, the authorities should focus on coordinating and streamlining the efforts of the Lesotho National Development Corporation and the Basotho Enterprise Development Corporation. The authorities should also enhance the regulatory framework for the establishment, operation, and oversight of SOEs, while developing a strategy for the gradual privatization of non-performing SOEs to enhance efficiency and attract investment.
    • Mitigating corruption and strengthening the rule of law is essential to restoring confidence, investment, and growth. Legacy fraud cases point to underlying vulnerabilities in payment and procurement, underscoring the need for the transparency and accountability that would result from successful PFM reform. More broadly, strengthening key bodies such as the Office of the Auditor General and the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) would also send a strong signal of the government’s resolve, and help incentivize private sector development. In this regard, the increased funding and expansion of the DCEO has been most welcome.

    The IMF team thanks the Lesotho authorities and other counterparts for their hospitality and for a candid and productive set of discussions.

  • Climate justice a “moral obligation”: PM Modi urges fair tech access and finance for developing nations at BRICS Summit

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday underscored India’s commitment to climate action and equitable health security, calling for urgent technology transfer and affordable financing for developing nations to bridge the gap between climate ambition and action.

    Addressing a session on ‘Environment, COP-30 and Global Health’ at the BRICS Summit in Brazil, PM Modi said he was glad that under Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s chairmanship, BRICS has prioritised key issues that are “interconnected and vital for the bright future of humanity.”

    “This year, COP-30 is being held in Brazil, making these discussions timely and relevant,” he said. “For India, climate change is not just about managing energy demands but about maintaining the delicate balance between life and nature.”

    The Prime Minister noted that climate action is deeply woven into India’s culture and daily life. “In our tradition, the Earth is respected as a mother. When Mother Earth needs us, we respond — by transforming mindsets, behaviours, and lifestyles.”

    The PM highlighted India’s flagship initiatives such as Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ (A Tree in the Name of Mother), the International Solar Alliance, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, the Global Biofuels Alliance, the Green Hydrogen Mission, and the Big Cats Alliance.

    PM Modi also pointed out that India had fulfilled its Paris Climate Agreement commitments ahead of schedule, despite being the world’s fastest-growing major economy, and was progressing steadily towards its Net Zero target for 2070. “In the last decade, India has seen a 4000% increase in its installed solar energy capacity,” he said.

    Calling climate justice a “moral obligation,” PM Modi emphasised that developing countries must receive fair access to technology and affordable finance. “Bridging the gap between climate ambition and financing is a special responsibility of developed nations. Without this, climate action will remain limited to climate talk,” he said.

    The PM also welcomed the “Framework Declaration on Climate Finance” adopted by BRICS leaders, calling it an “important step in the right direction.”

    On health, PM Modi said the pandemic demonstrated how “viruses do not require visas and solutions cannot be chosen based on passports.” He added that India’s “One Earth, One Health” approach had guided its global cooperation during COVID-19 and beyond.

    Outlining India’s health initiatives, including Ayushman Bharat — the world’s largest health insurance scheme — and the expansion of traditional medicine systems and digital health services, the PM said, “We are ready to share our experience with countries of the Global South.”

    The Prime Minister welcomed the BRICS Vaccine R&D Centre, launched in 2022, and the new “Leader’s Statement on BRICS Partnership for Elimination of Socially Determined Diseases,” saying it would inspire stronger cooperation.

    Looking ahead to India’s chairmanship of BRICS in 2026, PM Modi pledged to keep the concerns of the Global South at the forefront and redefine the grouping as “Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability.”

    “Just as we brought inclusivity to the G20, we will take BRICS forward with a people-centric, ‘Humanity First’ approach,” he said, congratulating President Lula for successfully hosting the summit and for Brazil’s warm hospitality.

    Source: European Parliament

    The Letter of Intent with the Palestinian Authority [1](PA) signed on 19 July 2024 consisted of: (i) a short-term emergency financial support of EUR 400 million of grants and loans, (ii) a multi-year comprehensive programme for Palestinian recovery and resilience.

    As part of the EU emergency support package to the PA of EUR 400 million, the Commission has disbursed EUR 382.5 million between July and November 2024. The pending tranche of EUR 17.5 million was disbursed in February 2025.

    All the disbursements were linked to PA actions identified in the Letter of Intent. The PA reached all prior actions from the Letter of Intent. The Commission and the PA have agreed on the Reform Matrix[2] that will be at the core of the comprehensive programme for Palestinian recovery and resilience.

    The Reform Matrix, anchored on the PA’s own reform agenda, will be the basis for future disbursements under the comprehensive programme.

    The multiannual comprehensive support programme for Palestinian recovery and resilience for 2025-2027, was announced on 14 April 2025 during the High-Level Political Dialogue between the EU and the PA. It consists of up to EUR 1.6 billion: a grant amount of up to EUR 1.196 billion as well as guarantees from the Commission to enable EUR 400 million loans by the European Investment Bank.

    The milestones for future disbursements will be identified in the framework of the financing agreement between the Commission and the PA to be signed in June 2025.

    The Commission is also in discussions with other donors and partners, as their active participation and involvement is crucial for the sustainability of the support to the PA.

    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Kathleen Funchion (The Left)

    According to a 2024 study by EY, European companies are lagging behind in terms of diversity compared to their US counterparts. The study revealed that only 7 % of companies in Europe had a diversity, equity and inclusion strategy in the first place.

    Recent reports have revealed that major companies in the EU are abandoning or moving away from their policies and goals on diversity, equity and inclusion.

    • 1.Can the Commission confirm whether any of the companies reportedly abandoning diversity, equity and inclusion goals are beneficiaries of EU funding – such as for research and development – or hold contracts with EU institutions?
    • 2.In cases where a company receiving EU funds or holding EU contracts decides to abandon its diversity, equity and inclusion objectives, does the Commission intend to take any measures to encourage a reversal of such decisions?
    • 3.Can the Commission clarify its stance on the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion goals for companies operating within the European Union, particularly those benefiting from EU support?

    Source: European Parliament

    The Seveso-III Directive[1] establishes rules to prevent major accidents involving dangerous substances and mitigate their consequences for human health and the environment.

    Military establishments, installations, and storage facilities are exempt from the Seveso-III Directive. Non-military companies supplying hazardous substances for military applications, which often involve substances that are explosive, toxic, or highly flammable, are within the scope of the directive when the quantity of hazardous substances exceeds the thresholds in Annex I.

    According to data from the European Major Accident Reporting System[2], the production and storage of explosives and other chemical substances rank among the top ten activities associated with major accidents.

    This is why the Commission does not intend to propose reducing obligations or introducing exemptions for civil companies supplying hazardous substances for military applications.

    Regarding the regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)[3], the Commission’s proposal for a Defence Omnibus[4] broadens the scope of the Member States’ defence exemption by not limiting it to specific cases. Moreover, the Commission is examining possible measures to simplify REACH in the context of its upcoming revision.

    As regards the REACH registration procedure, the European Chemicals Agency[5] is subject to short legal deadlines for reacting and providing registration numbers upon submission of dossiers by registrants.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Milestone reached in development of Fort William Transport Plan

    Source: Scotland – Highland Council

    Issued in partnership with HITRANS

    A major step forward has been taken in developing a long-awaited integrated transport plan (ITP) for Fort William with the appointment of consultants.

    The need for upgrades in the town to ease traffic congestion and improve journey times on the A82 and A830 has been an issue for many years.

    Congestion and its effect on journey times, which can be exacerbated by high seasonal volumes of traffic, are key concerns for people who live and work in Fort William and the surrounding area.

    They include emergency services, with reports of staff being unable to reach work due to congestion, as well as delays to emergency vehicles accessing roads.

    Local businesses have also stated that network constraints have affected decisions to expand.

    Scotland’s second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2) was published in December 2022 and recommended the development of an Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) for Fort William.

    A comprehensive plan will establish a proposed package of interventions, priorities, direction, responsibilities, funding sources and process for change for the area.

    It will be developed over the next 18 months by a partnership between AECOM and Stantec, two global infrastructure consulting companies.

    A Client Delivery Group was established in January 2025 comprising HITRANS (as lead), with Transport Scotland and The Highland Council as well as Highlands and Islands Enterprise and FW2040, to help coordinate the project with a shared vision for the future of Fort William and Lochaber.

    The project is being funded by Transport Scotland, HITRANS and The Highland Council.

    Councillor Ken Gowans, Chair of The Highland Council’s Economy and Infrastructure Committee and a HITRANS Board Member, said: “This is a significant and long-overdue milestone for Fort William.

    “The appointment of AECOM and Stantec to take forward the Integrated Transport Plan brings renewed momentum and a real opportunity to tackle the long-standing issues of congestion and connectivity that affect residents, businesses, and emergency services alike.

    “By working in partnership and drawing on expert insight, we’re committed to delivering a more efficient, sustainable, and accessible transport system that meets the needs of our growing community.

    “This plan is a key step in shaping a better future for Fort William and the wider Lochaber area.”

    A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said: “Scotland’s Second Strategic Transport Project Review (STPR2) recommended a Fort William Integrated Transport Plan, and it’s great to see this important work getting underway.

    “The plan will explore and develop a combination of measures to improve local connections, access and enhancing the sense of place for those who live, work and visit the area along with safety and improved journey time reliability on the A82 through Fort William.

    “The plan will be an in-depth, multi-modal transport study that will respond to the current challenges and opportunities facing Fort William, whilst ensuring the development of robust proposals that meet current policy direction and support future investment decisions.”

    Richie Fraser, Project Director at AECOM, said: “AECOM is proud to work in collaboration with Stantec and HITRANS to lead the delivery of an integrated transport plan to improve travel conditions for people living, working and visiting Fort William.

    “As a global infrastructure leader, AECOM will bring our extensive transport planning expertise to the study and look forward to engaging with the community, from our Scotland offices.

    “Ultimately, our aim is to support a more efficient, sustainable and accessible transport system that local people can be proud of, and one that will connect communities, support businesses, and unlock growth across the region.”

    Emily Seaman, Director, Transport Planning, Stantec added: “Having worked closely and successfully with HITRANS on its Regional Transport Strategy, we’re incredibly proud to be appointed to support the Fort William Integrated Transport Plan alongside AECOM.

    “We’ll be leveraging our extensive local knowledge and respected position in the area, as well as our industry leading global expertise, to deliver meaningful benefits for communities that will enhance both connectivity and the regional economy.”

    The proposed study area borders Loch Eil, Loch Linnhe and along the corridors made by the Great Glen and Glen Nevis.

    The River Lochy, Nevis and Loch Linnhe flood risk areas influence where development can occur and where travel connections are feasible.  Similarly, the steep sides of the glens limit transport options.

    The area is served by the A82 and A830 trunk roads, as well as railway lines to Glasgow and Mallaig.

    It has an important port function and National Cycle Route 78 as well as other active travel links and serves as a West Highland hub for the coach network with services to Inverness, Glasgow, Oban, Skye and Ardnamurchan.

    The proximity of local junctions and queuing associated with opposed right-turns on the A82 are thought to have contributed to specific localised issues.

    When incidents occur, their impacts are compounded by the lack and length (up to 160 miles) of diversionary routes.

    Source: European Parliament

    To strengthen the EU’s capacity to detect, prevent, and combat the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies by organised crime groups, the Commission is taking a multi-pronged approach.

    The AI Act[1] requires high-risk AI system developers to implement risk management and mitigation measures, with similar rules for general-purpose AI models.

    The Horizon program funds research to equip law enforcement with tools to combat AI-related crimes. The Commission and the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation collaborate with digital businesses, such as technology and communication companies, to implement more efficient mechanisms for detecting and responding to the criminal abuse of AI technologies.

    Furthermore, in line with the EU Internal Security: ProtectEU Strategy[2] and in response to the recommendations of the High-Level Group on access to data, the Commission presented a Roadmap[3] setting out the way forward to ensure law enforcement authorities in the EU have effective and lawful access to data.

    The measures in this Roadmap will support better detection, prevention, and investigation of digital crimes and the misuse of emerging technologies, including the misuse of AI by criminals and the abuse of emerging technologies to conceal their digital footprints.

    • The EIB has announced the signature of agreements with Arcano Partners and Buenavista Infrastructure totalling €410 million.
    • The agreements will channel new funding to urban development projects (including those promoting affordable housing) and others related to sustainable tourism.
    • The funds come from the Regional Resilience Fund financed by NextGenerationEU and implemented by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise with EIB support.

    The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed agreements with Buenavista Infrastructure and Arcano Partners to channel a total of €410 million to new urban development projects (including those promoting affordable housing) and others related to sustainable tourism.

    The agreements were made possible by a contribution from the Regional Resilience Fund, part of Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and financed by NextGenerationEU. More specifically, this was facilitated by the launch of a new EIB-managed instrument to channel financing via financial intermediaries to back urban development and sustainable tourism.

    The intermediaries selected by the EIB will assess investment opportunities across the country to promote urban development in areas such as affordable housing, education, healthcare, social and cultural infrastructure, sustainable mobility, waste and water management, energy efficiency and sustainable tourism. The investment period runs until December 2030.

    The first two intermediaries selected for the distribution of these funds were Arcano Partners (with a €210 million signature) and Buenavista Infrastructure (€200 million).

    The first two intermediaries selected for the deployment of these funds were Arcano Partners and Buenavista Infrastructure. Arcano Partners has been allocated €210 million by the EIB, which it will channel through “Spanish Urban Development SICC” fund. Buenavista Infrastructure was allocated €200 million to be channelled through “Buenavista NextGen Urban SICC” fund. Both are regulated vehicles set up specifically for this action.

The maximum allocation per project is 22 million while maximum recovery periods are 15 years for equity investments and 20 years for debt.

    “These agreements are a further step forward in the rollout of the EIB Group-managed Regional Resilience Fund and will drive new investment to promote urban development and sustainable tourism. The resources can also go to affordable housing projects, which is one of the EIB Group’s strategic priorities,” said EIB Director General of Financing and Advisory Operations within the European Union Jean-Christophe Laloux. “Close cooperation with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise made it possible to launch this new line of action for the Regional Resilience Fund, promoting key investments in Spain’s regions.”

    “Thanks to the signature of these agreements, the implementation of the intermediated instrument for urban development and sustainable tourism materialised. This instrument is one of the pillars of the Regional Resilience Fund. It will channel funds to relatively small projects that aim to invest in social and affordable housing and urban regeneration, as well as sustainable tourism activities. Furthermore, funds from the Regional Resilience Fund continue to be a crucial tool for the green transition in Spain, supporting projects that promote sustainability in key areas such as housing and tourism in various regions of the country,” said Inés Carpio, Director General of International Finance at the Treasury.

    Partner in Asset Management at Arcano Partners Eduardo Fernández-Cuesta added: “We are very proud to be once again have the confidence of the European Investment Bank to channel vital financing to bolster our national infrastructure, with a special focus on small and medium-sized enterprises. This combined debt and equity strategy will enable Arcano Partners to continue to diversify our capabilities and deliver the excellence we guarantee to our private investors and the public sector institutions that rely on us to manage investments.”

    Managing Partner at Buenavista Infrastructure Victoriano López-Pinto said: “We are very grateful for the vote of confidence in our judgment and expertise in facilitating the use of EU funds. With this new allocation, we have become one of the leading European fund managers by volume of European funds under management. Our team is one of the most experienced in managing public funds and we are excited to be able to contribute to this project promoting local connections, sustainable urban development and the renovation of our national tourism infrastructure to make it more sustainable.”

More specifically, this was facilitated by the launch of a new EIB-managed instrument to channel financing via financial intermediaries to back urban development and sustainable tourism.

    The intermediaries selected by the EIB will assess investment opportunities across the country to promote urban development in areas such as affordable housing, education, healthcare, social and cultural infrastructure, sustainable mobility, waste and water management, energy efficiency and sustainable tourism. The investment period runs until December 2030.

    The first two intermediaries selected for the distribution of these funds were Arcano Partners (with a €210 million signature) and Buenavista Infrastructure (€200 million).

    SANAA, July 7 (Xinhua) — The bulk carrier Magic Seas has completely sunk in the Red Sea about a day after it was attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria said on Monday.

    “The bulk carrier Magic Sea sank completely in the depths of the Red Sea after it was attacked by our armed forces,” Yassir Saria told the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV channel. The spokesman added that the attack was a response to the ship’s owner’s “repeated violations” of the Houthi-imposed ban on entering Israeli ports.

    “The latest of these violations was the entry of three of the company’s ships into occupied Palestinian ports last week, despite warnings from our navy,” said Saria, adding: “The moment of the sinking was recorded in audio and video.” –0–

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Human rights must anchor the digital age, says UN’s Türk

    Source: United Nations 2

    Digital technologies have the potential to drive progress and strengthen rights, including connecting people, improving access to health and education, and much more.

    But the pace of their evolution also poses serious risks, warned Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights – from restrictions on free expression and privacy violations to discrimination and growing threats to our shared sense of truth and reality.

    “It is precisely in the face of massive change, that we need more human rights, not less,” he said on Monday, addressing a high-level event on the twentieth anniversary of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva.

    Prioritising rights

    In this time of sweeping change, human rights must be prioritised and used as the blueprint for action.

    “States’ legal obligations and companies’ duties to respect human rights offer guidance to tackle disinformation and protect our data from illicit use,” Mr. Türk stressed.

    Such guidance also helps counter algorithmic bias, digital hate speech, and fosters trust and inclusive digital decision-making.

    Role of WSIS

    Founded in 2001, the inaugural WSIS was held in two phases in December 2003 (Geneva) and November 2005 (Tunis, Italy).

    Since then, the forum has brought together diverse stakeholders to collaborate on digital governance and promote a digital landscape that is people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented.

    “[The WSIS] helped create a space for States, technology companies, civil society, and others to harness the power of information and communication technologies for development,” said Mr. Türk.

    Looking forward

    The High Commissioner stressed that the coming months will see critical decisions on regulating the digital sphere, including new UN mechanisms on AI and data governance.

    “We have a window of opportunity to make a difference,” he concluded.

    “We must join forces – States, technology companies, international organizations, civil society, and others – to work towards an inclusive and open digital environment for everyone, everywhere.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Final Three Members Charged in Prolific Chinese Money Laundering Scheme Plead Guilty to Laundering Tens of Millions in Drug Proceeds

    Source: US State of California

    Two Chinese nationals and a New York woman, all members of a prolific Chinese money laundering organization (CMLO), pleaded guilty today to money laundering charges involving drug trafficking proceeds. They are the last of six total defendants charged in the indictment to plead guilty.

    According to court documents, Enhua Fang, 38, and Jianfei Lu, 30, both of China, and Shu Jun Zhen, 36, of Staten Island, New York, were members of the CMLO that laundered over $92 million in illicit funds, including proceeds from the importation and distribution of illegal drugs into the United States, primarily through Mexico.

    According to court documents, Fang was an organizer within the CMLO who directed a group of couriers to pick up bulk cash proceeds from unlawful activities, including narcotics trafficking, from individuals throughout the United States. The couriers then deposited these illicit funds, which generally exceeded $10,000, into shell company bank accounts controlled by the CMLO in order to conceal the nature of the illicit funds. Fang used multiple cellphones, changing phone numbers regularly, and several encrypted messaging applications to communicate with the CMLO’s foreign-based operatives and U.S.-based drug traffickers. Pursuant to her plea agreement, Fang admitted that she was personally responsible for laundering at least $90 million of illicit funds in less than two years. Fang further admitted that she knew funds laundered in the conspiracy included drug trafficking proceeds or funds intended to promote drug trafficking.

    According to court documents, Lu collected drug trafficking proceeds from U.S.-based drug traffickers and deposited those illicit funds, using both real and fake identities, into shell company bank accounts registered by other members of the CMLO. Lu also served as a manager for the CMLO: he coordinated bulk cash pickups and deposits while Fang was in China and procured fake driver’s licenses for the CMLO’s couriers, which were used to deposit illicit funds at major U.S. banks. Pursuant to his plea agreement, Lu admitted that he had actual knowledge and involvement in the laundering of between $25 million and $65 million in illicit funds. Lu further admitted that he knew funds laundered in the conspiracy included drug trafficking proceeds.

    According to court documents, Zhen, at Fang’s and Lu’s direction, picked up and deposited — using both her real and fake identities — nearly $25 million of illicit bulk cash, including drug trafficking proceeds. Pursuant to her plea agreement, Zhen admitted that she knew funds laundered in the conspiracy included drug trafficking proceeds or funds intended to promote drug trafficking.

    Fang and Zhen each pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy, one count of money laundering to conceal the nature, location, source, ownership, and control of the illicit proceeds, and one count of monetary transaction involving criminally derived property greater than $10,000. Lu pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy, two counts of money laundering to conceal the nature, location, source, ownership, and control of the illicit proceeds, and two counts of monetary transaction involving criminally derived property greater than $10,000.

    The defendants face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each of the conspiracy and money laundering counts and a maximum of 10 years in prison on each of the monetary transaction counts. A federal district court judge will determine their respective sentences after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

    All members of the CMLO charged to date have pleaded guilty, including the three who pleaded guilty on April 30, 2025; as a result, this particularly prolific cell within the CMLO has been completely dismantled.

    Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson for the Western District of North Carolina, Acting Special Agent in Charge Jae W. Chung of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Atlanta Division, and Criminal Investigation Chief Guy Ficco of the IRS Investigation (IRS-CI) Charlotte Field Office made the announcement.

    The DEA Charlotte District Office and the IRS-CI Charlotte Field Office are investigating the case.

    Acting Assistant Deputy Chief Mingda Hang, Acting Deputy Chief Melanie Alsworth, and Trial Attorney Jayce Born of the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Alfredo De La Rosa for the Western District of North Carolina are prosecuting the case.

    This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces and Project Safe Neighborhoods.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Azumi Limited Restaurants Agree to Pay $3.6M to Resolve False Claims Act Allegations Relating to Paycheck Protection Program Loans

    Source: US State of California

    Azumi LLC; Zuma NYC LLC; Zuma Las Vegas LLC; Zuma Japanese Restaurant Miami LLC; Inko Nito Garey St. LLC; and Beach Chu Hallandale LLC (collectively, the “Azumi Entities”) have agreed to pay $3,602,423 to resolve allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by obtaining Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for which they were not eligible.

    “PPP loans were intended to assist eligible small businesses during the pandemic,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “When ineligible businesses improperly obtained loans, they harmed both the taxpayers who funded the program and the eligible businesses who were denied relief.”

    “The Paycheck Protection Program limits were put in place to prevent large corporate groups from obtaining a disproportionate share of the limited funds that were available to assist small businesses struggling during COVID,” said U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley for the District of Massachusetts. “Our office is committed to holding accountable those who misappropriated taxpayer-funded relief program limits.”

    The PPP, an emergency loan program established by Congress in March 2020 and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), was intended to support small businesses struggling to pay employees and other business expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Borrowers were eligible to seek forgiveness of the loans if they spent the loan proceeds on employee payroll and other eligible expenses. In January 2021, SBA announced that certain parties that had previously received PPP loans were eligible to apply for a second loan, typically referred to as a second-draw PPP loan.   

    When applying for PPP loans, borrowers were required to certify the truthfulness and accuracy of all information provided in their loan applications and agree that they would comply with all PPP rules. Among other things, PPP rules limited the total amount of funding a single “corporate group” could receive in connection with both first-draw and second-draw loans.

    The Azumi Entities are limited liability companies, each of which operates a restaurant in the United States and each of which is either fully or partially owned by Azumi Limited. As part of the settlement, the Azumi Entities admitted that they collectively received and were granted loan forgiveness for second-draw loans in a total amount that exceeded the applicable corporate group limit for second-draw loans.  

    The claims resolved by the resolution announced today include claims that were brought under the qui tam or whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act. Under the Act, a private party can file an action on behalf of the United States and receive a portion of any recovery. The qui tam case is captioned United States ex rel. GNGH2 Inc. v. Azumi LLC et al., No. 22-cv-11822 (D. Mass.). As part of today’s resolution, GNGH2 Inc. will receive approximately $360,000.

    The resolution obtained in this matter was the result of a coordinated effort between the Justice Department’s Civil Division, Commercial Litigation Branch, Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts with assistance from the SBA’s Office of General Counsel and Office of the Inspector General.

    This matter was handled by Fraud Section Trial Attorney Kimya Saied and Senior Trial Counsel Benjamin Wei, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Julien M. Mundele for the District of Massachusetts.

    Except for the facts admitted by the Azumi Entities, the claims in the complaint are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.

  • MIL-OSI: Little Pepe Raises $4 Million in Presale and Unveils Layer 2 Blockchain for Meme Coin Ecosystem

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe, a new entrant in the crypto space blending meme culture with scalable blockchain infrastructure, today announced it has successfully raised $4 million in its presale and launched a custom EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain. The milestone marks a major step forward for the project as it positions itself as a next-generation meme coin ecosystem on Ethereum’s Layer 2 landscape.

    The presale, currently in its fourth phase, has seen increasing investor demand, with tokens priced at $0.0013 and available exclusively via the project’s website: LittlePepe.com. The funds raised are being used to further develop the Little Pepe Layer 2 network, which is now operational and optimized for fast, low-cost transactions.

    “Most meme tokens exist as basic ERC-20 assets. We’ve taken it a step further by creating a fully functioning Layer 2 chain designed specifically for meme-based applications,” said a spokesperson for Little Pepe. “This infrastructure is what sets us apart.”

    Custom Layer 2 Blockchain Built for Memes

    The Little Pepe blockchain is a dedicated Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 chain that brings high speed, minimal fees, and seamless developer compatibility to the meme coin space. Designed with scalability and community use in mind, the network aims to support social dApps, NFT platforms, and other meme-driven utilities, offering developers a purpose-built alternative to congested mainnets.

    Unlike many meme coins that rely purely on social media hype, Little Pepe’s approach is centered on building an actual ecosystem—complete with EVM compatibility and room for technical growth.

    Organic Growth and Community Momentum

    In contrast to high-budget token launches, Little Pepe has opted for an organic growth model fueled by grassroots support on platforms like Telegram and X (formerly Twitter). The project’s community-first approach has attracted attention across crypto circles for its blend of humor, utility, and long-term potential.

    A New Category: Infrastructure-Backed Meme Coins

    Little Pepe is part of a rising trend of “infrastructure-backed meme tokens,” combining internet culture with robust blockchain architecture. The project continues to embrace its fun, irreverent identity—complete with Pepe-inspired visuals—while building serious tools for long-term growth.

    “People don’t expect meme coins to come with their own chain. We’re changing that expectation,” the spokesperson added.

    About Little Pepe
    Little Pepe is a next-gen Layer 2 blockchain project designed to merge meme culture with high-speed, low-cost decentralized infrastructure. Built for scalability, security, and developer flexibility, Little Pepe supports EVM-compatible applications and is powered by the $LILPEPE token. Its mission is to create a meme coin environment where community engagement meets serious tech innovation.

    Headline: New e-book teaches how to build an AI-powered security operations center

    The sheer volume of cyberattacks continues to increase at a breathtaking scale worldwide, with customers facing more than 600 million cybercriminal and nation-state attacks every day.1 To stem the growing tide of malicious cyber activity takes a commitment from all of us—individuals from operations to the executive level, security teams, organizations, industry leaders, and governments. It also requires a shift from traditional security approaches to a defense-in-depth strategy that deploys security tools that natively work together to coordinate defense across security layers.

    Organizations also need to embrace AI and automation, moving away from manual, reactive security to an automated, proactive defense. But the transition is easier said than done. For most organizations, this transition will require significant effort that spans not just technology, but people and processes too. To help organizations make the move beyond silos to an integrated, defense-in-depth approach, we’re sharing a new e-book—our introduction to building a coordinated defense. In this post, we walk through the key content you can find in the e-book and share more resources on integrated cyberthreat protection.

    Coordinated Defense: Building an AI-powered, Unified SOC

    Help your teams shift from a manual, reactive mode to a more automated, proactive stance. Read the e-book.

    Recommendations built on real-world lessons

    Bad actors are increasingly adept at finding and exploiting weaknesses, especially in legacy infrastructure. The Coordinated Defense e-book was crafted through our own lessons learned in real-world scenarios, as well as our work to help customers defend their own organizations. The e-book can help security teams better understand how a unified solution can improve their ability to defend their increasingly complex and diverse digital environments and:

    • Stop fighting fires and become more proactive through streamlined threat hunting, triage, and investigation.
    • Adopt a continuous threat exposure management approach that addresses the most critical security domains, including endpoints, identities, and cloud-native applications.
    • Accelerate security operations (SecOps) to lower mean time to resolution (MTTR).

    Unified security operations

    In the e-book, we expand on a new pre-breach/post-breach paradigm that helps organizations shift from reactive and manual processes to an AI-powered, continuous, and autonomous security posture as they prevent, detect, and respond to cyberthreats—unified security operations.

    By integrating endpoints, identities, email, apps, data, and cloud environments with the critical security operations functions, including posture management, detection and response, and threat intelligence, security teams can shift from reactive to proactive security. The e-book outlines the unified architecture that can transform security operations by centralizing data and leveraging AI to enhance existing human expertise.

    Addressing the complete threat lifecycle

    From preventing initial compromise, to detecting and disrupting active cyberattacks, to investigating and responding to incidents, the e-book explains how unifying security operations allows teams to build a closed-loop approach that improves business resiliency and continuously lowers the risk of a breach. The benefits span the lifecycle and include:

    • Prevent—Prioritized risk mitigation, reduced attack surface, proactive gap identification, and enhanced resilience.
    • Detect—Rapid ransomware response, real-time threat isolation, predictive threat intelligence, and more.
    • Respond—A single, prioritized incident queue, automatically correlated alerts, and relevant threat intelligence that helps prioritize cyberthreats based on severity.

    Read the e-book to learn more about how AI assistants like Microsoft Security Copilot can enhance unified security by providing valuable insights, automating routine tasks, and correlating alerts into comprehensive incidents.

    Tackling your most critical security domains

    Unifying security across all areas of your environment can strengthen defenses in each area. To create a truly effective security posture, organizations need to protect endpoints and identities, secure cloud-native applications, protect the entire organization with both security information and event management (SIEM) and extended detection and response (XDR), and protect the data. In the e-book, each domain is discussed in detail with a scenario that models cyberattacker actions, the response of a unified security approach, and the improved outcomes. The e-book also includes information on:

    • Endpoint protection—Critical trends shaping endpoint security and strategies to counter ransomware and malware threats.
    • Identity protection—Emerging identity-based cyberthreats and how united defenses can prevent account takeovers.
    • Securing cloud-native applications—Insights into cloud vulnerabilities and best practices for securing modern application environments.
    • Integrating SIEM and XDR—Integrated tools that help address advanced, persistent threats and reduce false positives.
    • Protecting your data—Key challenges in safeguarding sensitive data and mitigating insider risks effectively.

    Getting started

    A unified SOC architecture is imperative to help organizations face the current and future security challenges. Shifting to a proactive, integrated defense means breaking down the barriers between security functions and working across silos. It means embracing and enabling AI-powered automation across your environment. And it allows for a continuous loop of protection and improvement that security teams need to operate faster, smarter, and more resiliently. To get started on a more integrated, defense-in-depth approach to security, read the Coordinated Defense: Building an AI-powered, unified SOC e-book now.
