  • MIL-OSI Africa: African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 Upstream E&P Track to Foster Dialogue and Deals Amid African Exploration Surge

    Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

    Amid Africa’s ongoing exploration and production surge, this year’s African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies conference will host a dedicated Upstream E&P Track. The track – taking place as part of the main conference agenda from September 29 to October 3 – will tackle the most pressing challenges and opportunities across the upstream oil and gas sector, delving into topics such as deepwater development, onshore prospects, the role of independent firms and balancing African priorities with global supply dynamics. As the largest event of its kind on the continent, AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 represents the platform of choice for Africa’s upstream sector.  

    Africa’s upstream oil and gas sector is on the precipice of significant growth, boosted by a $54 billion capital expenditure drive expected by 2030. Across the continent, both established oil and gas markets and frontier players are seeking capital to bolster production while unlocking new basins in deepwater and onshore basins. The continent’s exploration surge is further supported by growing demand in African markets as well as a rise in global gas imports. The AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 Upstream E&P Track will explore these shifting dynamics, offering a platform for new exploration and production deals to be signed.  

    AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit http://www.AECWeek.com for more information about this exciting event. 

    To entice greater spending across the upstream sector, many African countries are laying the foundation for new investments by both majors and independent energy companies. A string of licensing rounds is being launched in 2025, offering exploration opportunities across a variety of acreage. Licensing rounds are planned in Angola, the Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Mauritania and South Africa, while Libya, Nigeria, Algeria and Liberia have already launched their respective bid rounds. The Upstream E&P Track will explore the impact of these rounds. Sessions include What’s Next for African Upstream in 2026; Exploration Hotspots; and Basins Without Borders: Unlocking the Full Potential of Cross-Border Basins in the Transform Margin. Additionally, panel discussions will examine emerging prospects in frontier basins, with sessions taking place on Frontier Plays Within Africa’s Mature Basins; Offshore and Deepwater Plays; and Unlocking Africa’s Onshore and Shallow-Water Potential. 

    While global energy majors expand their portfolios in Africa, independent oil and gas firms are taking on a more prominent role in exploration and production. International oil company divestment has opened-up new pathways for African independents, and as such, more companies are taking the lead on asset development. AEW: Invest in African Energies will host panel discussions on The Making of an African Independent; Technology and Innovation: Rethinking Asset Development to Accelerate Upstream Success; as well as Crude Value Benchmarking with Ever-Changing Light, Heavy Balance, exploring opportunities for independents in Africa.  

    Meanwhile, with global gas demand projected to increase 10% between 2021 and 2030, African countries are strategically positioned to accelerate exploration and play a more central role in global supply chains. With over 620 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves on the continent – most of which remains under-developed – Africa has a unique opportunity to leverage its resources to produce low-carbon, cost-effective fuel. Panel discussions on Decarbonizing Pathways for African Oil and Gas; The Outlook for Global LNG; and The Role of African LNG in a Dynamic Export Market will address these opportunities, while a session on Beyond Exports: Developing Commercially Viable Domestic Gas Markets, will examine how the continent can leverage its resources for domestic growth.  

    The track will also feature panel discussions on strategic oil and gas markets in Africa, including Algeria, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, and more. These sessions are geared towards companies seeking growth opportunities in proven markets and are expected to unlock new deal-signing and partnerships prospects. Beyond panel discussions, the Upstream E&P Track will feature a series of fireside chats, with participating companies including Renaissance Africa Energy, Northern Ocean, Seplat Energy and more.  

    “Africa’s upstream oil and gas market is witnessing a surge of investment, as operators seek to expand their portfolios and governments target near-term production. Amid this growth, strategic financing gaps have emerged. The AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 Upstream E&P Track seeks to address these challenges by bringing together major players from the market to engage and sign deals,” says Oré Onagbesan, AEW: Invest in African Energies Program Director.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Côte d’Ivoire Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé Opens 16th African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) General Assembly in Abidjan

    Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

    Abidjan hosted the opening of the 16th General Assembly of the African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) (http://www.UAR-AUB.org) on June 19, 2025. The ceremony, held under the high patronage of Mr. Robert Beugré Mambé, Prime Minister of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, brought together a plethora of distinguished guests, including ambassadors, directors-general, ministers, academics, media professionals, students, and civil society members from around the world.

    Under the impactful theme “Developing Media: Strategies for Financial and Technological Resilience, and Innovative Content,“ this assembly promises crucial discussions for the future of the African media landscape.

    In his inaugural speech, Prime Minister Mambé highlighted the essential role of media in societal transformation: “Media represents a true opportunity for our country. We are counting on you to preserve and strengthen this asset, through the consultation framework offered to you. It is from this dialogue that the right answers to our questions will emerge.” This was a clear call for collaboration and the search for collective solutions.

    For Cléophas Barore, President of the AUB Executive Council, the funding challenge is omnipresent: “The financing of production and broadcasting remains a daily struggle. These challenges are marked by resource scarcity, fierce competition from new media, information multinationals, and many others.” This observation underscores the urgent need for innovation in a constantly evolving media environment.

    Amadou Coulibaly, Minister of Communication and Government Spokesperson, for his part, urged broadcasters to embrace new media to better capture the African audience. “With the AUB, your Union, I urge you to work tirelessly to sustainably retain the African audience, in its diversity, by notably taking into account new communication and broadcasting channels such as social media, streaming, OTT, and podcasts, by innovating and valuing local content, our historical, cultural, tourist, and socio-economic values. I commit you to this!” he affirmed, emphasizing the importance of innovation and the promotion of local content in the face of information globalization.

    The productive first day also featured a visit to the exhibition stands, offering participants the opportunity to discover the latest innovations in content creation and to forge partnerships.

    The 16th AUB General Assembly continues on June 20, 2025, with the Union’s statutory proceedings and the Awards ceremony.

    Press release

    Ofqual launches public consultation on apprenticeship assessment regulation

    Ofqual launches consultation on new regulatory framework for apprenticeship assessments, seeking views from employers, providers and apprentices.

    Ofqual is today launching a public consultation seeking views on its proposed approach to regulating apprenticeship assessments, including those for foundation apprenticeship assessments.

    The consultation, titled “Regulatory framework for apprenticeship assessment”, invites awarding organisations, colleges and training providers, employers and apprentices to comment on the future regulatory framework.

    The framework has been developed to reflect the new apprenticeship assessment principles published by the Department for Education earlier this year. It has been designed to accommodate the new apprenticeship assessment plans being put in place by Skills England.

    The proposed framework would allow awarding organisations more flexibility in assessment design and delivery to enable them to be more responsive to the needs of employers. This includes greater responsibility for decisions about how assessments are structured, delivered and marked.

    Ofqual will regulate both the assessments and the awarding organisations that develop and deliver them.

    Catherine Large, Executive Director for Vocational and Technical Qualifications at Ofqual, said:

    We want to hear from everyone with an interest in apprenticeships to ensure our regulatory approach is effective, proportionate and supports the development of valid and reliable assessment.

    Ofqual understands the significance of potential changes to the current end point assessment model, and the important role that employers and providers play in the system. We are working to ensure quality is upheld throughout this transition.

    The consultation opens on Friday 20 June and will run until Wednesday 27 August.

    Interested parties can contribute by completing the online consultation form available on GOV.UK or by emailing their responses directly to consultations@ofqual.gov.uk.

    Following the consultation, Ofqual will publish a summary of responses and outline next steps for implementing the regulatory framework.

    Background information:

    1. Ofqual is the independent qualifications regulator for England.

    2. The Department for Education is responsible for the introduction and overall implementation of the reform to apprenticeships, including the assessment principles.

    3. Skills England is responsible for the streamlining of assessment plans and ensuring that the views of employers are represented.

    4. The consultation document is available here at GOV.UK.

    5. Subject to the outcome of this consultation, Ofqual will consult later in 2025 on the detail of the rules and guidance that will put our proposals into effect.  

    6. For further information, please contact the Ofqual press office on 0300 303 3344 or press.office@ofqual.gov.uk

  • MIL-OSI Russia: It’s time to become the main character! Start of the 2025 admission campaign

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    On June 20, the acceptance of documents for admission to secondary vocational education programs, bachelor’s, specialist and master’s degrees at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University began.

    Graduates of grades 9 and 11 can enroll in the college at the Polytechnic University. This year, 530 budget and 481 contract places have been allocated for 9 full-time SPO specialties and 90 contract places for 3 correspondence specialties.

    When submitting documents, applicants select no more than 3 specialties for admission to budget places and no more than 1 specialty for contract places, which are arranged in order of priority for enrollment. Enrollment in the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education is carried out based on the results of the competition, based on the average grade point average of the certificate of applicants on the basis of basic or secondary general education. In 2025, a new specialty 09.02.09 “Web Development” was opened, which trains specialists in the creation and support of websites and web applications.

    For applicants to full-time bachelor’s and specialist’s degree programs in 2025, 3,395 budget places and 3,399 fee-paying places have been prepared. Within the target quota, 535 places have been prepared, 359 places for special quota places and the same number for applicants to separate quota places. Applicants can choose up to five areas of preparation for admission, which must be arranged in order of priority in the application.

    One of the innovations in admission to the first level of higher education was the “Petrovskaya Wave”, which gives applicants an additional opportunity to enroll in the university. Applicants whose scores exceed the indicator set by the university are guaranteed admission. The passing score will be regularly updated on the official website, and it can only decrease during the admission campaign, making the conditions for admission more accessible. Even if an applicant does not get a state-funded place, but exceeds the “Petrovskaya Wave” score, the university guarantees him a place at its own expense.

    To take advantage of this opportunity, you need to follow three steps.

    Select in the application directions, participating in the Petrovskaya Wave. Collect the sum of competition points higher than the announced passing score of the “Petrovskaya Wave”. Submit consent for enrollment before August 5, 12:00 Moscow time and do not withdraw it until the end of August.

    In addition, in 2025, to confirm the intention to study at SPbPU, it is necessary to submit consent for enrollment (in electronic form via the State Services portal or in person to the Admissions Office). This replaces the submission of the original educational document, which makes the process more convenient and modern. The innovation also applies to admission to master’s programs.

    The Polytechnic University maintains and expands its program to support talented applicants. In 2025, first-year students can apply for grants of two levels. Winners and prize winners of Olympiads, as well as applicants with USE results of 290-300 points upon admission to the Polytechnic University, receive a one-time payment of 120,000 rubles. And students of engineering, natural sciences, and information technology with USE results of 270-289 points – 50,000 rubles. An additional motivation for such students will be a grant for excellent academic performance after the first session in the amount of 50,000 rubles.

    Those wishing to continue their career at the Polytechnic University can apply for more than 170 master’s programs, for which 2,376 budget places have been allocated. There are four ways to enroll: win the SPbPU Portfolio Competition, become a winner or medalist of the All-Russian Olympiad “I am a Professional”, become a winner of the All-Russian Engineering Competition, or successfully pass the interdisciplinary exam. This year, 20 new programs have been developed for future masters, including the digital master’s programs “Industrial and Civil Engineering” and “Russian as a Foreign Language and Intercultural Communication”, as well as the program for training teaching staff “Physics and Applied Mathematics in Science and Education”. This year, the Polytechnic University is also accepting applications for 15 partner programs jointly with PJSC Gazprom Neft, Rosatom State Corporation, JSC UEC-Klimov, etc.

    To enter the Polytechnic University, you need to complete 3 steps.

    Prepare required documents— an education document, a passport (along with the registration page), SNILS (if available), documents confirming individual achievements, Olympiads, benefits (if available), a photograph. Submit an application in one of the convenient ways in set deadlines. Through the super service “Online University Admission” on Gosuslugi (mandatory for citizens of the Russian Federation). Through your personal account on the university website. In person at the Main Academic Building (29 Politekhnicheskaya St., Main Academic Building) for admission to higher education programs. In person at the ISPO Academic Building (23 Engels Ave.) for admission to secondary vocational education programs. By mail (address: 195251, St. Petersburg, 29 Politekhnicheskaya St., Admissions Committee). Monitor the competition situation and provide consent for enrollment in the university within the established time frame.

    Dear applicants! Admission is an important stage in your life.

    A research team led by the University of Aberdeen has developed a pioneering AI model to improve accuracy and reduce computational time in land cover mapping, particularly for vegetation.
    Detailed understanding of land cover, topographical features, and how land is used is central to tackling climate change impacts, food security, and sustainability.
    Traditional vegetation mapping methods analyse satellite images pixel by pixel, which can be inefficient and prone to error – especially in diverse or complex terrains.
    The new model developed by the research team, SAGRNet (Sampling and Attention-based Graph Convolutional Residual Network), uses advanced deep learning techniques to classify vegetation types with greater speed and accuracy. It can analyse entire landscape objects—such as fields and forests—providing better understanding of the shape, context, and relationships within the landscape, leading to more reliable and scalable mapping.
    The study is published in the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, the official journal of International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
    SAGRNet was developed using satellite images covering the diverse landscape of north-east Scotland to sufficiently facilitate result validation.
    The study focuses on areas comprising woodlands, farmlands, and grasslands situated adjacent to other landcover classes such as built-up areas and water, located in and around Aberdeen, Dundee, and the Highlands.
    To further evaluate the generalisation capability of the proposed SAGRNet model, the team conducted additional experiments across five globally distributed urban fringe areas: Guangzhou (China), Durban (South Africa), Sydney (Australia), New York City (United States), and Porto Alegre (Brazil). These areas were carefully selected to represent diverse ecological backgrounds, vegetation structures, urbanisation intensities, and land cover complexities, providing a robust basis for assessing the transferability of the model.
    SAGRNet, which has been made openly available, could help decision-makers to quickly visualise and understand the impact of major events such as floods, forest fires, drought or heavy rainfall on large areas of land as well as the crops they produce.
    Project lead Dr Lydia Sam, Lecturer in Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen, said: “Accurate dimensional and topographic information on arable land is the foundation for further developing sustainable land management strategies. We have a multitude of earth observation satellites in orbit today providing images of our planet at very high resolutions. Models like SAGRNet provide a comprehensive vegetation mapping and characterisation framework, allowing users to unlock the true potential of their imagery data.
    “Our system of deep learning algorithms can immediately and accurately recognise the different types of land cover, vegetation or crops in an area.
    “This method addresses the inefficiencies of current systems by improving accuracy and reducing computational time, which is critical in responding to global challenges like climate change, deforestation, and food scarcity.”
    Dr Anshuman Bhardwaj, Senior Lecturer in Geosciences at the University and co-lead of the project, added: “Our model is quite transferrable and can even provide rapid and accurate answers to questions about how the landscape has changed.
    “This is vital for further understanding the impact of climate change from coastal erosions and landslips to shifts in plant or crop distribution.
    “It can also be used to monitor crop growth to facilitate more accurate harvest predictions or to look at how crops grown in a particular area have changed over time and to make better informed decisions of the sustainability of land use.
    “Our study lays a solid foundation for real-world applications in land monitoring, agriculture, and environmental management.”
    PhD student and research assistant on the project Baoling Gui added: “SAGRNet is suitable for integration into large-scale applications such as land resource surveys, ecological monitoring platforms, national land cover mapping programs, and environmental change analysis frameworks.”
    The project was funded by the BBSRC International Institutional Award scheme, in which the Aberdeen team worked in collaboration with international partners including Dr Diego Soto Gómez, University of Burgos (Spain), Dr Félix González Peñaloza, Evenor-Tech (Spain) and Professor Manfred F. Buchroithner, Technische Universität Dresden (Germany). Dr. David R. Green, Reader in Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen was also involved in the development of the published research article.
    The project was funded by the BBSRC International Institutional Award (BB/Y514172/1)

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Enters Final Weeks of Presale with Explosive Growth and Mobile Mining Breakthrough

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S), a next-generation blockchain project focused on scalability, energy efficiency, and mobile accessibility, has officially entered the final weeks of its presale, marking a pivotal moment for early adopters. With the presale set to close on July 31, momentum is surging as thousands of users join what’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about launches in the crypto space.

    At the heart of Bitcoin Solaris is a mission to create a blockchain that’s not only high-speed and secure but also accessible to everyday users. Designed with mobile-first infrastructure and built on a dual-consensus model, BTC-S is setting the stage for a blockchain ecosystem capable of supporting real-world use cases—from decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs to tokenized real estate and e-voting.

    The Engine Behind Bitcoin Solaris: Power Meets Practicality

    Bitcoin Solaris doesn’t just promise innovation, it delivers it at the protocol level. By combining a dual-consensus mechanism and mobile-first scalability, BTC-S brings a completely modernized architecture to the table.

    Here’s how it breaks away from outdated networks:

    • Hybrid Consensus: The network integrates Proof-of-Work (PoW) for security and decentralization, while its Solaris Layer uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) to accelerate throughput and reduce energy usage.
    • Validator Rotation: The system replaces validators every 24 hours, using a slashing mechanism to penalize underperformers, which ensures network health and prevents centralization.
    • Energy Efficient by Design: With lower block production costs and sustainable mobile mining through the upcoming Solaris Nova app, Bitcoin Solaris is aligned with the future of eco-conscious crypto.

    The performance is unmatched in its tier:

    • Up to 100,000 TPS on the Solaris Layer with 2-second finality
    • Base Layer supports 3,000 TPS, optimizing smart contract and cross-layer interactions

    Smart Contracts at Lightning Speed See Why Developers Love BTC-S

    A Wealth-Building Engine for the Mobile Generation

    At the core of BTC-S’s mass appeal is its accessibility. The upcoming Solaris Nova app introduces mobile mining, allowing users to participate using just their smartphones, no expensive rigs, no complicated setups. You can estimate potential earnings through their mining calculator, showing exactly how BTC-S plans to bring mining rewards back to the people.

    This seamless user experience is one of the key reasons the project is catching fire. Unlike Bitcoin, which requires industrial-scale hardware to earn a fraction of a coin, Bitcoin Solaris is opening the gates for everyday investors to benefit directly from the network’s growth.

    Real-World Utility Backed by Robust Infrastructure

    Bitcoin Solaris is more than just a fast network. It’s built for real-world adoption, including support for:

    • Smart contracts built on a Rust-based environment
    • DeFi, NFTs, tokenized real estate, healthcare data, and even e-voting mechanisms
    • Seamless integration with Solana tools to drive early dApp development and adoption

    The dual-layer architecture also enhances privacy via optional Zero-Knowledge Proofs and protects against 51% and long-range attacks, making BTC-S a secure, high-speed alternative for serious developers and investors alike.

    Security and transparency are reinforced by successful audits from both Cyberscope and Freshcoins, giving investors confidence in its infrastructure.

    The Presale Frenzy: Numbers Don’t Lie

    Bitcoin Solaris is currently in Phase 8 of its presale, priced at just $8. With a launch price set at $20, and less than 7 weeks left until it ends on July 31, the clock is ticking.

    • Over $5M raised
    • 150% potential return
    • 11,500+ users have already joined
    • One of the shortest and most explosive presales in crypto history

    Visit the Bitcoin Solaris site now before it enters Phase 9. Momentum is growing fast, just check crypto YouTube channels. Influencers like Ben Crypto and 2Bit Crypto have each done a full breakdown of why this is one of the most exciting crypto launches this year.

    Why Bitcoin Solaris Could Make Its Early Backers Rich

    There’s no one-size-fits-all in crypto, but Bitcoin Solaris is checking all the right boxes for those hunting high-upside projects:

    • Groundbreaking architecture with scalability, security, and efficiency
    • A mobile mining model designed for mass adoption
    • A reward system structured to benefit long-term participants
    • Backed by solid audits, a fast-growing community, and transparent development

    More than just a presale buzzword, BTC-S represents the kind of practical, accessible crypto opportunity that’s been missing from the market for years. The fact that the network is designed to reward real usage, not just holding, means that early adopters stand to gain much more than just token appreciation.

    As excitement builds and new features continue to roll out, Bitcoin Solaris is proving it’s not here to follow Bitcoin, it’s here to outshine it.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Enters Final Weeks of Presale with Explosive Growth and Mobile Mining Breakthrough

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S), a next-generation blockchain project focused on scalability, energy efficiency, and mobile accessibility, has officially entered the final weeks of its presale, marking a pivotal moment for early adopters. With the presale set to close on July 31, momentum is surging as thousands of users join what’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about launches in the crypto space.

    At the heart of Bitcoin Solaris is a mission to create a blockchain that’s not only high-speed and secure but also accessible to everyday users. Designed with mobile-first infrastructure and built on a dual-consensus model, BTC-S is setting the stage for a blockchain ecosystem capable of supporting real-world use cases—from decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs to tokenized real estate and e-voting.

    The Engine Behind Bitcoin Solaris: Power Meets Practicality

    Bitcoin Solaris doesn’t just promise innovation, it delivers it at the protocol level. By combining a dual-consensus mechanism and mobile-first scalability, BTC-S brings a completely modernized architecture to the table.

    Here’s how it breaks away from outdated networks:

    • Hybrid Consensus: The network integrates Proof-of-Work (PoW) for security and decentralization, while its Solaris Layer uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) to accelerate throughput and reduce energy usage.
    • Validator Rotation: The system replaces validators every 24 hours, using a slashing mechanism to penalize underperformers, which ensures network health and prevents centralization.
    • Energy Efficient by Design: With lower block production costs and sustainable mobile mining through the upcoming Solaris Nova app, Bitcoin Solaris is aligned with the future of eco-conscious crypto.

    The performance is unmatched in its tier:

    • Up to 100,000 TPS on the Solaris Layer with 2-second finality
    • Base Layer supports 3,000 TPS, optimizing smart contract and cross-layer interactions

    Smart Contracts at Lightning Speed See Why Developers Love BTC-S

    A Wealth-Building Engine for the Mobile Generation

    At the core of BTC-S’s mass appeal is its accessibility. The upcoming Solaris Nova app introduces mobile mining, allowing users to participate using just their smartphones, no expensive rigs, no complicated setups. You can estimate potential earnings through their mining calculator, showing exactly how BTC-S plans to bring mining rewards back to the people.

    This seamless user experience is one of the key reasons the project is catching fire. Unlike Bitcoin, which requires industrial-scale hardware to earn a fraction of a coin, Bitcoin Solaris is opening the gates for everyday investors to benefit directly from the network’s growth.

    Real-World Utility Backed by Robust Infrastructure

    Bitcoin Solaris is more than just a fast network. It’s built for real-world adoption, including support for:

    • Smart contracts built on a Rust-based environment
    • DeFi, NFTs, tokenized real estate, healthcare data, and even e-voting mechanisms
    • Seamless integration with Solana tools to drive early dApp development and adoption

    The dual-layer architecture also enhances privacy via optional Zero-Knowledge Proofs and protects against 51% and long-range attacks, making BTC-S a secure, high-speed alternative for serious developers and investors alike.

    Security and transparency are reinforced by successful audits from both Cyberscope and Freshcoins, giving investors confidence in its infrastructure.

    The Presale Frenzy: Numbers Don’t Lie

    Bitcoin Solaris is currently in Phase 8 of its presale, priced at just $8. With a launch price set at $20, and less than 7 weeks left until it ends on July 31, the clock is ticking.

    • Over $5M raised
    • 150% potential return
    • 11,500+ users have already joined
    • One of the shortest and most explosive presales in crypto history

    Visit the Bitcoin Solaris site now before it enters Phase 9. Momentum is growing fast, just check crypto YouTube channels. Influencers like Ben Crypto and 2Bit Crypto have each done a full breakdown of why this is one of the most exciting crypto launches this year.

    Why Bitcoin Solaris Could Make Its Early Backers Rich

    There’s no one-size-fits-all in crypto, but Bitcoin Solaris is checking all the right boxes for those hunting high-upside projects:

    • Groundbreaking architecture with scalability, security, and efficiency
    • A mobile mining model designed for mass adoption
    • A reward system structured to benefit long-term participants
    • Backed by solid audits, a fast-growing community, and transparent development

    More than just a presale buzzword, BTC-S represents the kind of practical, accessible crypto opportunity that’s been missing from the market for years. The fact that the network is designed to reward real usage, not just holding, means that early adopters stand to gain much more than just token appreciation.

    As excitement builds and new features continue to roll out, Bitcoin Solaris is proving it’s not here to follow Bitcoin, it’s here to outshine it.

  • MIL-OSI: Gate Releases May 2025 Transparency Report: Brand Revamp Ignites Strategic Acceleration

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PANAMA CITY, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gate, a global leader in cryptocurrency trading, has released its May 2025 Transparency Report, revealing remarkable growth across key business indicators. Amid improving market sentiment and a maturing regulatory landscape, the platform recorded historic highs in trading volume and user activity, accelerated brand globalization efforts, advanced compliance achievements, and further expanded its Web3 ecosystem.

    Trading Volume and User Base Hit New Milestones
    In May 2025, Gate saw a substantial year-over-year increase in total trading volume, driven by strong performance in both spot and futures markets. Futures trading, in particular, has become a primary growth engine for trading activity. Gate now ranks second globally in 24-hour spot trading volume, reinforcing its position among the world’s leading exchanges.

    The platform’s user base surpassed 27 million registered users, reflecting continued global momentum and growing brand influence. Meanwhile, Gate Earn has seen explosive growth, now supporting nearly 1,000 digital assets with $2 billion in total assets under management. Its Dual Investment product now supports 60 tokens, and remains one of the most popular structured finance offerings on the market.

    This month, Gate was also honored with the “Best Crypto Exchange 2025” award by Entrepreneur Middle East, recognizing the platform’s excellence in user protection, operational stability, and regulatory compliance.

    Global Brand Revamp: New Domain Gate.com and New Logo Launched
    On May 19, Gate officially launched its new domain, Gate.com, alongside a redesigned logo, marking a bold step forward in its global rebranding strategy. This upgrade unifies visual identity across global operations and enhances international recognition and user trust. The rebrand coincides with Gate’s vision of becoming the “Next-Generation Crypto Exchange”, a platform at the intersection of global compliance, user-centric design, and Web3 innovation.

    The rebranding covers all Gate entities globally, including licensed operations in Japan, Dubai, and Europe, delivering a consistent and professional brand presence worldwide.

    Product Ecosystem Expansion Drives Growth in User Engagement and Assets
    In May, Gate’s continuous product innovation led to a significant boost in its platform ecosystem. The relaunch of Launchpad sparked market excitement, with the debut project Puffverse (PFVS) oversubscribed by more than 93,800%, attracting 35,000 participants and raising $656 million. Gate Alpha, focusing on meme asset trading, launched hundreds of projects in May, distributed over $1 million in airdrops, and generated billions in trading volume. Launchpool introduced nearly 20 new projects, distributed over $3 million in rewards, and peaked at over 1,000% annualized returns. HODLer Airdrop launched nearly 30 projects, attracted more than 170,000 participants, distributed over $800,000 in rewards, and saw over $38 million in total staking volume. CandyDrop launched nearly 20 airdrop campaigns, drawing over 500,000 participants with a prize pool close to 3 million USDT. The synchronized growth of these core product lines demonstrates Gate’s leading edge in product innovation and user attraction.

    Accelerating Asset Transparency and Compliance Leadership, Reserve Ratio Reaches 128.57%
    As of May 2025, Gate’s total reserve assets reached $10.865 billion, with an impressive reserve ratio of 128.57%, far exceeding the 100% industry benchmark. BTC, ETH, and USDT reserves all maintained surplus coverage, with BTC reserve ratio at 137.69%. These figures reflect Gate’s long-standing commitment to transparency and financial strength.

    On the compliance front, Gate Technology FZE, a part of Gate, has obtained a VASP License under the regulation and supervision of VARA in Dubai to provide exchange services and is permitted to serve institutional investors, qualified investors, and retail investors. This milestone marks another significant step forward in Gate’s global compliance strategy.

    Expanding Web3 Culture with Brand Campaigns and Global Events
    In May, Gate intensified its brand presence through multiple high-profile events. Gate 12th Anniversary Global Celebration concluded in Dubai, where CEO Dr. Han outlined the vision of Gate as the next-generation crypto exchange. SPORT3 DUBAI 2025 united Web3 and sports through cross-industry activities. Gate hosted global KOLs at Inter Milan’s home stadium and celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day with custom pizza deliveries to users and partners. At the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, Gate CBO Kevin Lee represented the brand in collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Gate’s NFT drop with Red Bull Racing exceeded 1 million mints, engaging over 200,000 participants. Yann Sommer, Serie A champion and Inter‘s goalkeeper, joined as a Gate Friend, symbolizing the platform’s commitment to asset security.

    Promoting Education, Research, and Social Responsibility, Demonstrating Platform Impact
    In May, Gate continued to make strides in educational outreach and social responsibility. Gate Learn released educational content and courses covering trending topics such as DeFi, RWA, and AI, helping users systematically enhance their understanding. Gate Research deepened its efforts in policy interpretation and market analysis, strengthening its expertise in critical areas like meme coins, public chains, and ETFs. During the same month, Gate Charity partnered with Forum Animal to launch a public welfare campaign in São Paulo, Brazil, calling for an end to animal testing and promoting global awareness around animal welfare and ethics, demonstrating the platform’s enduring commitment to sustainable values.

    A New Chapter Begins, Advancing Toward Industry Leadership
    May 2025 marks a pivotal chapter in Gate’s journey. With a newly unified brand identity, record-breaking business growth, and deeper integration across product, compliance, and community initiatives, Gate is accelerating its path toward becoming a truly global, next-generation crypto platform.

    As the company moves beyond its 12th anniversary milestone, Gate remains committed to innovation, compliance, and user empowerment, opening the gate to a more open, secure, and sustainable Web3 future.

    Press Release no. 04/2025

    Danish Ministry of Digitalization begins testing F2 with open source document editing

    Copenhagen, June 20, 2025

    The Danish Ministry of Digitalization has announced the launch of a pilot project to explore digital sovereignty, using cBrain’s (NASDAQ: CBRAIN) F2 platform as the foundation for testing an integrated open source alternative to traditional office software.

    Digitalization Minister Caroline Stage stated: “We have a political obligation to ensure that our IT systems are not dependent on a few large companies. This pilot is a welcome and concrete first step in that direction.”

    A group of employees within the ministry’s department will begin using F2 with a newly integrated document editing module based on Collabora, the open source solution built on LibreOffice.

    The pilot will assess whether Collabora, integrated into F2, can meet the ministry’s key requirements for document handling such as compatibility with government templates, reliable document conversion, change tracking, and support for advanced formatting. The findings will inform future decisions regarding broader adoption across the ministry.

    From a technical perspective, cBrain’s F2 platform is built on an open architecture that separates data from editing tools. This enables government organizations to use multiple types of editing software in parallel and even allows individual users to choose their preferred editing tools while still working collaboratively on the same shared documents.

    Best regards

    Per Tejs Knudsen, CEO

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Angola Strengthens United States (US) Energy, Mineral Ties with Sonangol-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Cooperation Agreements

    Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

    Angola’s national oil company Sonangol has signed two agreements with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – a private university based in Boston, United States (US) – aimed at strengthening cooperation and knowledge-transfer in the fields of oil, gas and critical minerals. The agreements – dubbed the MIT Industrial Liaison Program (MIT-ILP) and MIT Africa – seek to strengthen US-Africa ties by facilitating greater collaboration and skills development opportunities.

    The African Energy Chamber (AEC) – the voice of the African energy sector – commends Angola and Sonangol for forging this strategic alliance with one of the world’s leading innovation institutions. The AEC believes partnerships of this nature are vital to accelerating Africa’s energy transition while equipping the next generation of African professionals with the skills and knowledge required to drive industrial growth, energy security and sustainable resource development.

    The agreements were signed by Sonangol CEO Sebastião Gaspar Martins and MIT Executive Vice President Glan Shor during a meeting presided over by Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas Diamantino Azevedo. A core focus of the meeting and the subsequent agreements was to explore opportunities to support Angolan resource development by leveraging global research, innovation and technology. With goals to increase oil production, diversify the industry through innovative gas projects and advance the development of alternative energy sources such as green hydrogen, Angola has committed to working with global partners to transform ideas into solutions. The agreements serve as catalyst for these objectives by laying the foundation for bilateral research and development.

    Under MIT-ILP, Sonangol and MIT will work together to develop strategic industries such as energy, mining, engineering, construction and infrastructure. According to Minister Azevedo, this program will enable Sonangol to directly interact with MIT research centers in key areas, thereby accelerating innovation in the oil sector while facilitating a just energy transition. Minister Azevedo shared that visiting MIT showed the Angolan delegation how applied research is closely linked with humanity’s real challenges – notably, clean energy, artificial intelligence, resilient infrastructure and digital transformation. MIT-ILP will support the development of Angolan expertise and innovation.

    Meanwhile, MIT Africa features two programs – Global Classroom and Global Teaching Labs – aimed at facilitating knowledge-exchange, staff training, joint research and academic mentoring. Both the Global Classroom program and Global Teaching Labs program allow Angolan educational institutions to tap into US expertise, with the aim of supporting skills development in Angola. Among the Angolan institutions that will directly benefit from this cooperation are the Instituto Superior Politécnico de Tecnologias e Ciências and the Sonangol Research and Development Center. These institutions will be at the forefront of implementing these innovative programs.

    “Through these mechanisms, Angola will be able to benefit from innovative teaching methodologies and collaborative experiences that value national talent and promote the internationalization of our higher education,” Minister Azevedo shared. “These agreements are more than protocols: they are commitments with concrete impact in the short, medium and long term, in the fields of advanced training, scientific research, technological development, energy transition, decarbonization and industrial innovation. I believe that Angola’s future is built on knowledge, serious partnerships and strategic vision.”

    The agreements come as Angola and the US take concrete steps to deepen strategic partnerships within the oil, gas, critical mineral and renewable energy sectors. Meetings held by Minister Azevedo and the US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright this week highlighted areas of cooperation, with the parties committing to working together to achieve a balanced energy transition. Future cooperation will be largely built on the success American companies have had in Angola as well as cooperation in new industries such as critical minerals, renewable energy and infrastructure.

    In the oil and gas space, companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron continue to make significant strides towards unlocking greater exploration and production opportunities. ExxonMobil has recently extended its license for Angola’s Block 17 – one of the country’s longest-producing assets – in partnership with TotalEnergies. The company is also seeking play-opening discoveries in the offshore Namibe basin while drilling new wells under the country’s Incremental Production Initiative. Chevron is making in-roads in the natural gas sector with its stakes in the Angola LNG plant and upstream gas projects. In late-2024, the company started production at the Sanha Lean Gas Connection project, which increases feedstock for Angola LNG – supporting exports. Chevron also has stakes in the New Gas Consortium, the operator of Angola’s first non-associated project, coming online in late-2025. Leveraging the expertise of these players and strengthened cooperation in research and development, Angola is well-positioned to realize its industry goals.

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

    HKMA and PBoC launch Payment Connect 
    Payment Connect refers to the linkage between the Mainland’s Internet Banking Payment System (IBPS) (Note 1) and Hong Kong’s Faster Payment System (FPS) (Note 2), which supports secure, efficient and convenient real-time cross-boundary payment for residents and institutions in both places. By simply inputting the recipient’s mobile number or account number, residents in both places can make instant small-value cross-boundary remittances.
     
         Mr Yue said, “Payment Connect is one of the key initiatives in strengthening co-operation between the Mainland and Hong Kong. The connection between the faster payment systems in both places enhances the efficiency of cross-boundary payments, supporting trade activities and personnel exchange. This development will further promote Hong Kong’s position as an international financial centre and offshore Renminbi business hub. Payment Connect will cater to the daily needs of residents in both places for cross-boundary remittances and payments. It also signifies another milestone for the FPS in expanding cross-boundary payment.”
     
    Six institutions each from the Mainland and Hong Kong (Annex) will participate in the Payment Connect upon its launch. They will roll out the service gradually and more institutions will join over time.Issued at HKT 15:56

  • MIL-OSI: ZA Miner Launches New Dogecoin Cloud Mining Contract Amid Crypto Market Uncertainty

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    As the crypto market rides another wave of volatility, both seasoned miners and curious newcomers are looking for safer, more accessible ways to stay in the game. That’s where ZA Miner steps in. In response to today’s shifting landscape, the UK-based platform, founded in 2020, has launched a new Dogecoin cloud mining contract designed for simplicity, consistency, and low entry costs.

    Known for combining green energy with user-friendly cloud mining, ZA Miner continues to make mining approachable for everyone, with no expensive gear or technical know-how needed. The new Dogecoin cloud contract fits perfectly with the growing demand for environmentally conscious mining and the increasing popularity of altcoins like Dogecoin, especially in unpredictable markets.

    This latest offering allows users to tap into automated, daily DOGE rewards while minimizing complexity and risk. In a space that’s constantly evolving, ZA Miner gives everyday users a smarter way to stay involved and earn, without riding the full rollercoaster of crypto trading.

    Why is Dogecoin Cloud Mining Taking Over The Crypto World In 2025?

    Dogecoin cloud mining is becoming the go-to choice for crypto enthusiasts in 2025, offering a strain-free route to earning daily rewards, even when market prices dip. Industry leaders are rolling out AI-powered mining packages that deliver up to 10X greater efficiency. The platforms leverage advanced algorithms to maximize hash power and reduce energy usage while boosting profits. With Dogecoin transitioning to a proof‑of‑stake model and slashing energy consumption by over 99.9%, it’s now firmly ranked among the most sustainable coins to mine.

    What’s driving this Dogecoin cloud mining surge? First, Dogecoin’s low transaction fees and fast confirmation times have turned it into a favored real-world payment option, not just a meme. Second, platforms powered by AI, green energy infrastructure, and fully automated user experiences are eliminating technical entry barriers; anyone can start mining with no hardware, no power bills, and zero management hassle.

    If 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that investors value stability as much as upside. Dogecoin cloud mining platforms now offer that stability, a predictable income stream that keeps rolling in rain or shine, with added environmental credibility thanks to renewable energy commitments. For those looking to stay active in crypto without riding the rollercoaster, cloud mining DOGE in 2025 is looking more like a strategic pivot than a side bet.

  • MIL-OSI: Toobit Integrates TON for USDT Deposits and Withdrawals, Offering Faster and Cheaper Transactions

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Toobit, an award-winning cryptocurrency exchange, today announces the integration of the TON (The Open Network) blockchain for Tether (USDT) deposits and withdrawals on its Spot platform. This upgrade offers traders a faster, more cost-efficient, and scalable option for managing USDT transactions.

    By adding TON support, Toobit is strategically tapping into one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems, with over 153 million total created addresses as of 2025. The addition will also enhance the speed and affordability of USDT transfers, helping users optimize their trading and asset management strategies.

    “We are thrilled to bring the benefits of the TON network to our users,” said Mike Williams, Chief Communication Officer at Toobit. “We saw a clear demand for more network diversity and greater capital efficiency. Integrating TON is a direct response towards providing a reliable, high-speed, and extremely low-cost rail for USDT.”

    Key benefits for Toobit traders

    • Improved capital efficiency: Traders can now move USDT with network fees averaging just $0.01 to $0.02 per transaction. More capital can be used for trading, not for network costs.
    • Faster strategy execution: With transaction finality achieved in approximately five seconds, the integration allows for the near-instantaneous transfer of assets.
    • Expanded network choice: By adding TON, Toobit connects its users to a network that is rapidly expanding, now boasting over 9 million active wallets and a Total Value Locked (TVL) of more than $155 million in its DeFi ecosystem.

    To start using TON for USDT transfers, users can simply go to their USDT wallet on Toobit and select TON as their preferred network for deposits or withdrawals.

    The move comes in response to growing demand for more efficient blockchain networks. Known for its high throughput, multi-blockchain architecture, and minimal fees, TON can theoretically process millions of transactions per second, making it an ideal solution for active traders.

  • MIL-OSI Banking: Building Solutions for Bharat: Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Sparks Change Across North India

    Source: Samsung

    Young changemakers at HDFC School, Gurugram
     
    In classrooms across Punjab and Haryana, something powerful is happening. Students are no longer just preparing for exams—they’re preparing to change the world.
     
    Through the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow programme, workshops and open houses recently swept through towns and cities like Ludhiana, Patiala, Jalandhar, Talwandi, Dhuri, and Gurugram, igniting a spark of innovation among hundreds of young minds. From government schools to premier universities, students are now dreaming of solving India’s most pressing problems—armed with empathy, purpose, and the courage to act.
     
    Launched on April 29, 2025, this latest season of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is a national innovation challenge that equips students with design thinking tools to identify real-world problems and build tech-based solutions that matter. The programme offers INR 1 crore to the top four winning teams, alongside expert mentorship from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty, investor connects, and prototyping support to help turn big ideas into tangible change.
     
    At Lovely Professional University in Jalandhar, the energy in the room was palpable. Chestha, an engineering student with a passion for rural development, walked in with a question and walked out with a mission.
     
    “I’ve always wondered why farmers still struggle with outdated irrigation systems,” she said. “This workshop helped me think through the problem and sketch out a low-cost, AI-based solution for real-time soil and water monitoring. I now believe it’s actually doable—and Samsung Solve for Tomorrow has given me the tools to begin.”
     
    Over in Guru Kashi University, Talwandi, Vatsal found a different calling.
     
    “I’ve been interested in the mental health crisis, especially among teenagers in smaller towns. The workshop helped me design a tech-enabled peer support platform focused on accessibility and anonymity. It feels good to know that ideas like these can get real support. For the first time, I feel like I can make something that truly matters.”
     
    In Patiala’s DAV Public School, the spirit of problem-solving had taken over. Astha, a Class 11 student with an eye for social impact, was brimming with purpose.
     
    “I want to address the lack of menstrual hygiene awareness in rural schools. During the workshop, I mapped out an idea for a mobile app and a local ambassador network. It’s a small step, but it could mean the world to someone. Solve for Tomorrow made me believe that even at 16, I can start something.”
     
    Meanwhile, in Gurugram’s HDFC School, the air was thick with big ideas and bigger ambitions. Rishika, a student driven by climate action, left the session inspired.
     
    “I’ve been worried about the carbon footprint of everyday transportation,” she shared. “This workshop gave me the confidence to explore green mobility solutions—like creating an app that promotes micro-mobility options in school campuses and societies. It’s early, but I’ve started thinking like a designer, a problem-solver.”
     
    The movement didn’t stop there. From BCM Arya Model School in Ludhiana to Guru Teg Bahadur Public School in Bardwal (Dhuri), and KR Mangalam in Gurugram, every workshop was filled with passionate young voices. Some wanted to work on clean energy. Others dreamt of solving water scarcity. What united them all was the belief that they could shape the future—not someday but starting now.
     
    Across every region, one thing stood out—the unwavering commitment Samsung has made to democratizing innovation and nurturing India’s next generation of visionaries.
     
    As the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow roadshows continue their journey, they’re not just delivering workshops—they’re sparking revolutions of thought. And in the hearts of students from Punjab’s villages to Gurugram’s classrooms, the seeds of a better tomorrow are already taking root.

  • The backbone turns twenty: How NIXI quietly wired India for a digital future

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    From grocery shopping through UPI to smart classrooms in remote villages, much of India’s digital progress over the past two decades has depended on something that most citizens never think about: fast, secure internet infrastructure. At the centre of this invisible but essential ecosystem is the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), which turned 20 on Thursday.

    Set up in 2003 under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), NIXI has played a key role in ensuring that India’s internet remains local in routing, robust in performance, and ready for future demands. It currently operates 77 Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) across the country, which help domestic traffic stay within India’s borders — reducing latency, increasing speed, and enhancing security.

    A resilient internet, a resilient India

    In a statement marking the occasion, NIXI CEO Dr Devesh Tyagi said, “A resilient internet is the foundation of a resilient India. As we celebrate NIXI Day, we renew our commitment to making the internet faster, safer, and more inclusive.”

    The importance of the organisation came into sharp focus during the COVID-19 lockdowns. With physical movement restricted, internet traffic surged. Doctors adopted telemedicine, schools transitioned to online learning, and government services remained accessible through digital platforms. Underpinning all of this was an infrastructure designed to cope with scale and crisis — one that NIXI had quietly built over the years.

    Beyond speed: trust, inclusion, and language

    While speed and reliability have always been priorities, NIXI has also focused on inclusivity and localisation. Through its IRINN division, it is guiding India’s transition to IPv6, which will be essential as the country moves deeper into the era of connected devices, AI, and quantum computing.

    It also facilitates domain name registration in Indian languages, supporting .IN and .भारत, helping small businesses and individuals get online in their own scripts and tongues — a step that aligns with the broader push for digital inclusion.

    What’s next: smarter, more resilient networks

    With emerging technologies reshaping the digital landscape, NIXI is evolving too. Its roadmap for the future includes AI-driven smart traffic routing, IXPs in disaster-prone and underserved regions, deeper collaboration with global internet governance forums, and boosting uptake of vernacular domain names.

    This next phase is about preparing the Indian internet for scale, security, and smart infrastructure — while ensuring that no region or user is left behind.

    In a world increasingly defined by data, connectivity, and digital dependence, NIXI’s two-decade journey remains largely invisible to the average user. But its impact is felt every day — in the instant UPI payment at a vegetable stall, the buffering-free video class in a village, or a seamless government application process.

    As India pushes toward a $5 trillion digital economy, NIXI’s role as the silent enabler of connectivity becomes more critical than ever.

         The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau, arrived in Bordeaux on June 19 (France time) to continue his visit to France.
     
         Mr Yau first held a business roundtable with representatives of La French Tech Bordeaux, a start-up network, and Bordeaux-based technology start-ups to update them on Hong Kong’s latest start-up ecosystem and business-friendly environment for start-ups and entrepreneurs to thrive.
     
         Mr Yau highlighted that Hong Kong’s start-up community has seen remarkable growth and diversification in recent years. In 2024, the number of start-ups in the city reached a record high of approximately 4 700, up about 10 per cent from the previous year. The founder base is notably diverse, with around 28 per cent of start-up founders coming from outside Hong Kong. The encouraging result is a testament to Hong Kong’s attractiveness to innovators, assisted by several key advantages such as a low and simple tax system, world-class financial services and the accessibility to both Mainland and international business opportunities. 
     
         He said the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is firmly committed to positioning Hong Kong as a leading innovation and technology hub where start-ups play a pivotal role. He encouraged Bordeaux’s start-up community to expand their operations into Hong Kong, leveraging the city’s strategic position as a gateway to the vast markets on the Mainland and in Asia.
     
         Mr Yau also paid a courtesy call on the Mayor of Bordeaux, Mr Pierre Hurmic, to brief him on Hong Kong’s latest initiatives to drive economic development, such as the reduction of liquor duty, and exchange views on forging closer bilateral relations in various areas such as start-ups, and wine and liquor industries.
     
         In the evening, Mr Yau attended the Bordeaux Wine Festival, the leading wine event in France, to learn about the latest developments of Bordeaux wine and liquor.
     
         Mr Yau will continue his visit to Bordeaux.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Britain’s support for AUKUS is unwavering – but its capacity to deliver is another matter

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Tom Howe, PhD candidate in International Relations, Monash University

    A recently announced Pentagon review of the AUKUS pact has sparked a renewed bout of debate in Australia. Led by the “AUKUS-agnostic” US Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby, the review raises serious questions over whether Australia will receive its US-made Virginia-class submarines on schedule from 2032.

    AUKUS supporters suggest the review is not overly concerning – they point out governments typically review major programs after taking office. As they note, the UK Labour government did the same when it commissioned Sir Stephen Lovegrove to review AUKUS in 2024. Moreover, the House of Commons Defence Select Committee is currently reviewing AUKUS.

    Crucially, however, not all reviews are created equal. Given the US assessment is, according to US officials, being conducted to ensure alignment with the imperatives of “America first”, there is a risk the US will not supply Australia with the Virgina-class submarines it feels it requires to deter China. The UK reviews, on the other hand, did not and do not carry such risks.

    The findings of the Lovegrove review remain confidential, but have been shared with Canberra and were incorporated into the UK government’s recent Strategic Defence Review (SDR). The Defence Select Committee is yet to report, but being public, its findings are likely to generate further debate in Australia.

    Why are the UK reviews different?

    The Defence Select Committee review, launched independently of the government, is an accountability mechanism that scrutinises progress but lacks the power to set policy.

    Meanwhile, the Lovegrove review was never intended to question AUKUS, as its terms of reference made clear. Instead, its focus was more on what progress has been made so far and any barriers that might inhibit future success.

    There was never any real chance the Lovegrove review would end or amend the UK’s participation in AUKUS, because it has widespread support across mainstream British politics. In foreign and security policy terms, cross-party consensus is the norm in the UK.

    However, in the case of AUKUS, two specific factors stand out.

    First, AUKUS provides a welcome means to share the burden on a project the UK was already pursuing. Even before AUKUS was announced, the UK had initiated plans for its next generation of nuclear-powered attack submarines, awarding initial design contracts to BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce worth £85 million (A$170 million).

    Considering this, AUKUS – and specifically Australia’s £2.4 billion (A$4.6 billion) investment into Rolls-Royce’s reactor production line – was a welcome boon for the cash-strapped British government.

    Second, AUKUS has been a crucial component of the UK’s post-Brexit re-emergence. Coming after a period in which Brexit negotiations consumed the British government, it provided important substance to “Global Britain” and its Indo-Pacific tilt.

    AUKUS’s cross-party appeal might initially seem strange, given its close association with Boris Johnson’s Brexiteer government. After all, with its “Britain Reconnected” plan, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government has been keen to demonstrate how it differs from its Conservative predecessors. This most recent example comes with the SDR’s NATO-first approach, which some interpreted as a sharp break.

    However, this is a difference in style rather than substance. Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government had announced Britain had delivered the tilt and would focus on consolidating its position.

    In other words, it was making no new commitments. The SDR does not amend this position. It makes clear that “NATO first does not mean NATO only”. This means continuing support for agreements such as AUKUS, which, according to the review, are crucial to shaping the global security environment.

    Whether Britain has the capability to shape the global security environment is a question the SDR addresses, if implicitly, by acknowledging the “hollowing out” of the UK’s armed forces. Reconstituting Britain’s armed forces is consequently a key focus of Starmer’s government, which sees rearmament as a route to reindustrialisation.

    Militarisation as central to ‘rebirth’

    In this rebirth, the government is focusing heavily on the arms industry as a means to bring well-paid, high-skilled jobs to post-industrial parts of the country. There is debate about whether this is the best way to create jobs and growth, but the Starmer government has gone all-in on the strategy.

    Indeed, one of the most notable outcomes of the SDR is that the UK plans to invest substantial sums in its fleet of attack submarines, as it plans to go from seven Astute-class boats to 12 AUKUS-class ones.

    This ambition may provide some comfort to Australian observers as it indicates the scale of the UK’s commitment to AUKUS. Still, achieving the goal will require a significant increase in industrial capacity, as Britain will need to produce a new submarine every 18 months. The record of the UK government on major capital projects suggests this is a heroic ambition.

    For example, the last three Astute-class boats to be commissioned took between 130 and 132 months to build. The sixth and seventh boats of the nearly 25-year-old program are yet to enter service. Moreover, even the active Astute boats are beset by problems; in the first half of 2024, none of the five in-service boats completed an operational deployment due to maintenance issues.

    So, while in the context of the US review, Britain’s commitment is likely welcomed, any comfort must be tempered by the expectation that problems will also likely emanate from Britain.
