[Mining company from Jordan shows interest in cooperation with the sector in Bulgaria One of the largest Jordanian companies in the mining industry is interested in a partnership with the mining sector in Bulgaria. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company and former Deputy Prime Minister of the country, Mohammad Thneibat, visited Bulgaria to study investment opportunities. At a meeting with the Bulgarian Minister of Economy, Nikola Stoyanov, specific opportunities for joint projects between the two countries were discussed, which would further contribute to deepening the commercial and economic relations between Europe and the Middle East. Bulgaria "has a very developed mining and processing industry, and I am confident that here you will find suitable partners, competitive at the world level", Minister Stoyanov pointed out. Mohammad Tneibad has invited a Bulgarian business delegation to visit Jordan, as well as to start work on the idea of a joint investment in fertilizer production facilities. The Jordanian company is the second largest exporter and the sixth largest producer of phosphate in the world, with a production capacity of over 7 million tonnes of phosphate per year. The Hashemite Kingdom has the fifth largest phosphate reserves in the world - 3.7 billion tonnes, of which 1.25 billion tonnes are the stocks available to the specific producer.]

The Jordanians seem like right wingers.
I don't want them to trade much with the Balkans.
Rania has four kids.
It's as though she is a fascist because she wastes so much money.
She walks around in heels and dresses.
And her kids are everywhere.

["EU racing to devise new China strategy with 'de-risking' at its core"]
How much does everyone want the EU to trade with East Asia?
I keep reading about Kosovo and Bosnia.
Is it because the German navy uses those ports in the Balkans?
Is it a lot of items going between the Balkans and East Asia?
Does the German navy take stuff all of the way to Indonesia?
Is that why we get these reports about Kosovo and Bosnia?
I think I read every day a report about Kosovo.
Additionally, this week I read a report about Bosnia.
Are these reports in the news.
Because the EU trades with East Asia so much?
From Washington, DC and London.
I wish the EU wouldn't send so much stuff so far.
Long distance trade.
It seems like quality goes down.
There are all of these reports about inflation and labor strikes in Europe.
The French economy.
From Washington, DC and London, you almost wish the EU would stop it with the trade with China stuff. It would be so much fuel. It seems daunting about the logistics of a lot going between Europe and East Asia. All the while we read these reports about Kosovo and Bosnia. Long distance trade might not be feasible. It's better to send things a long distance? I am not sure that is Adam Smith economics. It's better when you export stuff long distances? An apple, it's better to eat it from the tree.

It said the incident had happened on 6 February when the boat was attempting to take supplies to the Sierra Madre, a vessel that is used as a Filipino naval outpost in the South China Sea; and that a Chinese vessel intercepted the Filipino coast guard boat, blocked its way and used a laser device to temporarily blind the crew.
