At a forum held during the 2023 Belt and Road Forum in Beijing, China, PM Kakar said that the country has already operationalized its deep seaport of Gwadar.

The government will continue its curbs on overseas shipments of the sweetener beyond October 31, according to a notice from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade on October 18.

The export control revisions announced October 17 aim to prevent the use of chips in military applications, including the development of artificial intelligence as well as hypersonic missiles.

At least one shipping line has said that maritime operations have been normal at the Port of Ashdod as of October 9.

The Offshore Alliance union representing workers at the Gorgon and Wheatstone plants said that it called off strike actions scheduled for October 19.

The regulations restrict more advanced chips and chipmaking tools from being exported to other countries besides China, like Russia and Iran.
