[Cuba is vigorously developing mountain solar energy] Cuba's Granma newspaper reported on April 1 that the Cuban government allocated millions of dollars to install photovoltaic solar cells for about 320 communities and 8,000 independent families in the rugged Santiago region, and the implementation of the project is of great significance to tens of thousands of people living and working in the most remote areas of ancient China. Lila, investment director of the Cuban Santiago Power Company, said that the photovoltaic module installed in the home is 300 watts, which can be used at the same time for 32-inch TVS and 5 LED lights, although it cannot meet the entire electricity demand of the family, but it can provide lighting at night, and users can enjoy the service by paying 10 pesos per month. He stressed that there are about 1,963 houses in the area with solar panels, and 40 percent of the equipment is faulty, mainly due to battery failure. At present, 420 solar photovoltaic panel modules and batteries worth $6 million from China are being shipped to Cuba and can be replaced immediately upon arrival. The power company is also working on a joint project with the University of Santo Spiritus, with plans to install 2.2-kilowatt modules, including batteries, accumulators and inverters, with an expected service life of 25 years, which will allow the connection of TVS, refrigerators, washing machines and kitchens, with each module priced between $1,900 and $2,400 in the international market, but will still maintain a price of 10 pesos per month.

• [Qatar has announced the launch of a national renewable energy strategy]
• Qatar Hydro Corporation (Kahramaa) today announced the launch of the Qatar National Renewable Energy Strategy (QNRES) to advance the sustainable development goals of Qatar's National Vision 2030. The strategy, developed by Kahramaa in coordination with 22 major energy entities in the country, aims to increase and diversify the use of renewable energy, with a focus on the use of solar power. With more than 2,000 KWH of solar power per square meter per year, Qatar ranks first in the world and is one of the countries with the greatest potential to produce photovoltaic power. According to the newly published strategy, Qatar aims to expand its large-scale renewable energy facilities to about 4 GW by 2030, while installing about 200 MW of distributed solar power generation equipment. The strategy will not only reap economic benefits, but also focus on environmental protection, improving air quality and contributing to Qatar's energy security through the diversification of the country's sources of power generation.

• [Malaysia is actively building a logistics hub in Southeast Asia]
• The Malaysian government has developed short - and long-term strategies aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of the country's major ports, namely Port Klang and Tanjong Palapas. Malaysian Transport Minister Lok Siu-fook said the strategy covers increasing port capacity, improving efficiency and productivity, and transforming to a low-carbon green port. In recent years, Malaysia has vigorously developed its port economy through a number of initiatives such as port expansion, port digitization and the establishment of free trade zones, and is committed to becoming a logistics hub in Southeast Asia. With the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and Malaysia have deepened port cooperation and further upgraded the level of port infrastructure construction and operation in Malaysia. At present, the Belt and Road cooperation between China and Malaysia has formed a pattern of the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park in the East, the Kuantan Port "One Park and one port", and the Port Klang in the west through the East Coast Rail line.
