[Malaysia's energy transition has made progress]On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.

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.
