[Fujian promotes common standards for soil and water conservation across the Taiwan Strait]On August 27, 2024, it was learned from the Fujian Provincial Department of Water Resources that the Fujian Soil and Water Conservation Society and the Taiwan Soil and Water Conservation Technology Association recently signed the "Cross Strait Soil and Water Conservation Standard Common Cooperation Framework Agreement", laying the foundation for further promoting the common and integrated development of soil and water conservation standards across the Taiwan Strait. Recently, the Fujian Soil and Water Conservation Society and the Taiwan Soil and Water Conservation Technology Association jointly launched a cross-strait exchange activity on soil and water conservation standards in Quanzhou and Xiamen. The theme of the activity is "Standards for Cross Strait Integration towards the Future". More than 30 experts and scholars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait visited Quanzhou and Xiamen to share new technologies and practices in the field of soil and water conservation. Experts and scholars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait visited and inspected the Yunlong Lake Soil and Water Conservation Science and Technology Demonstration Park in Dehua County, and carried out a standard promotion activity for the "Evaluation Criteria for Cross Strait Common Soil and Water Conservation Science and Education Parks"; The expert team also went to Guanqiao Town, Anxi County to conduct on-site inspections of the demonstration sites for landslide control and tea garden control in Anxi County, providing technical services for landslide control and ecological tea garden construction, and helping rural revitalization.

The construction of the Yangcheng Yuncheng section of the G5518 Jincheng Tongguan Expressway is about to begin. The main line is 150.37 kilometers long, passing through four counties of Yangcheng, Yuanqu, Wenxi, and Xiaxian. It is constructed according to the standard of two-way four lane road, with a designed speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The entire line is equipped with 84 bridges, 12 tunnels, and interchanges and other supporting facilities. It is planned to be opened to traffic in 2028. This section is a key component of Shanxi's "4 Verticals, 15 Horizontals, and 33 Connections" high-speed network. After completion, it will shorten the distance from Jincheng to Yuncheng by about 50 kilometers, saving nearly an hour's drive; At the same time, the travel time from Jincheng to Xi'an will be shortened from 5 hours to about 3.5 hours, significantly improving regional transportation efficiency.

China International Engineering Corporation EPC General Contracting Indonesia LNG Project Landing
During a critical period of global energy transition and Indonesia's efforts to promote energy security, China International Engineering Corporation signed an EPC contract for the East Java liquefied natural gas project with Indonesian companies. This move not only marks the successful expansion of the "new track" of oil and gas energy by China International, but also injects new impetus into Indonesia, a major energy consuming country in the region, to optimize its energy structure and promote regional development. As the EPC general contractor, Zhonggong International will leverage its global engineering experience and comprehensive advantages to assist in the efficient implementation of the project. This project is another important achievement of the docking of China's the Belt and Road Initiative and Indonesia's global maritime pivot strategy, opening a new chapter for energy cooperation between the two countries, and also providing a practical example for technology and industrial cooperation among countries in the South.
