Content: The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida quoted an Iranian source as saying that military advisers from 35 countries showed interest in the marches and China signed a deal with Tehran to buy about 30 thousand marches.
According to the Mehr News Agency, the Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Jarida" quoted an informed source in the Iranian Ministry of Defense that despite the US sanctions that are still imposed on Tehran, military advisers from 35 countries showed interest in the Iranian marches at a time when China contracted with Tehran to buy about 30 thousand marches.
According to this newspaper, the source said: "China had a deal to buy 15 thousand Iranian marches and two days ago signed with the Iranians a new deal to buy a similar amount," explaining that the marches requested by Beijing range from "Shahed 136" marches and different types of marches, especially espionage and suicide.
Unlike the oil Iran sells to the Chinese at a low price and with a deferred payment method, these weapons are sold in cash.
The agreement stipulated that Iran would receive half of the price of these weapons in advance and the other half on delivery.
Iranian experts believe that the marching market may be able to cover the oil market and Iran may reach a level where it can make parallel or even greater profits from oil exports.
The source pointed out that many countries of Central Asia, Africa, Latin America and East Asia have shown interest in the Iranian marches, and many countries have already submitted purchase orders in a volume that exceeds the ability of the current Iranian factories to secure it, which may require the opening of new factories to manufacture these weapons.
He said that the Iranian Ministry of Defense has recently been able to produce small drones on three types of spy, suicide and fighter, in addition to a type of robots used to detonate landmines through hypersonic waves, pointing out that Russia has shown great interest in this type of robots to be used in the Ukrainian war, but so far Iran has not produced sufficient quantities for export.

Vietnam remains an attractive destination for foreign investors
Vietnam ’ s economic strength is reflected in controlled macroeconomic indicators, and the country is increasingly confirming and strengthening its important role in the strategy of diversifying the supply chain of transnational corporations.
Nguyen Bit Lam, former director of the General Statistics Office, gave an interview to Vietnam News Agency (VIA) about the picture of attracting FDI and solutions to improve capacity and motivation to promote economic growth in the near future.
According to the expert, in the first two months of this year, the volume of registered FDI reached 4.29 billion US dollars, an increase of 38.6% compared to the same period in 2023.
FDI disbursements reached $2.8 billion, an increase of 9.8% compared to the same period last year.
Nguyen Beat Lam acknowledged that in the face of uncertainty and fierce strategic competition, the fragmented world economy has reduced and changed the structure of international investment flows, but the country remains an attractive market for foreign investors, as its economy is recovering and developing relatively steadily.
According to PwC ’ s “World in 2050 ” study, Vietnam will reach the second place in the world in terms of annual GDP growth, and over the 36-year period 2014-2050, GDP will grow at an average of 5.3% per year.
This important macroeconomic indicator is a testament to the Government's success in rebuilding and sustaining the economy.
According to him, foreign investors highly appreciated Vietnam ’ s integration into the global trend of “green ” development with a firm commitment to implement the provisions of COP 26.
At the same time, the government has issued a policy encouraging foreign investors to invest in projects using advanced technologies, clean, environmentally friendly technologies, with modern management practices that are actively involved in the production chain and global supply chains.
Nguyen Beat Lam noted that Vietnam ’ s economy is deeply and widely integrated into the region and the world.
Vietnam has also signed and implemented many free trade agreements with more than 60 partners spanning all continents.
In terms of market access liberalization, according to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Vietnam is on par with Singapore, the most developed country in Southeast Asia.
In addition, Vietnam has relaxed the rules for holding foreign property in listed companies, easing the burden on investors.
Since 2015, the government has allowed foreign participation in listed companies to be reduced to 100% in some cases.
Unlimited foreign investment in government bonds is also allowed, he added.
In addition, Vietnam has a particularly advantageous geographical position, being a gateway for international trade in goods by sea.
The infrastructure and technology developing synchronously are also advantages that make Vietnam attractive to foreign investors.
By pursuing a foreign policy of independence, self-sufficiency, diversification and multilateralism, Vietnam strives to become a reliable partner and responsible member of the international community.
By pursuing a flexible foreign policy, Vietnam is a comprehensive strategic partner or strategic partner of all five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
On March 7, 2024, Australia became Vietnam ’ s seventh comprehensive strategic partner.
Vietnam ’ s position has been elevated and it has become a regional center of politics, economy and security.
The country is now a partner of international economic and political communities and an interconnected economy in a fragmented world - an advantage that only very few countries have.
Strengthening a comprehensive strategic partnership with the United States and Japan, with an emphasis on cooperation in trade, investment, science and technology, is an important prerequisite for economic development.
In particular, foreign investment in high technology and exports represent an opportunity to create a breakthrough in attracting FDI in 2022, he noted.
Due to the growing role of the economy in the strategy of diversification of supply chains of transnational corporations, a more positive recovery of economic growth in Vietnam is expected this year.
According to him, a stable socio-political framework is a key and important factor in the future of Vietnam to achieve a breakthrough in attracting foreign direct investment in 2024 and beyond.
Recently, international rating agency Fitch Ratings upgraded Vietnam ’ s sovereign credit rating to BB + with a stable outlook.
Given the achievements, advantages and position of the economy, 2024 should be a breakthrough year in attracting FDI to the country.

Mira ALIPINOVA, Perth, Australia
The first page is devoted to new horizons of the domestic economy in the context of the upcoming exhibition "EXPO-2017" in Astana.
In a large series of Kazakhstani materials, Jennifer Law ’ s analytical review of regional integration on the Great Silk Road stands out.
Japan, South Korea, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and almost all ASEAN and Central Asian states are interested in successful cooperation with our country.
Among the main economic partners of Kazakhstan, China daily states, of course, is the People ’ s Republic of China.
The construction of transport and logistics hubs, the introduction of a new visa regime, the formation of a priority customs policy imply a significant increase in investment activity and the development of the tourism industry.
In fact, says Jennifer Law, there will be a real rebranding of the Silk Road, which in the 21st century remains one of the global transnational communications.
For Kazakhstan, located in the heart of Eurasia, at a transit crossroads, the revival of traditional routes of the great highway is of particular importance.
Among the main topics included in the title is the world exhibition EXPO, which will be held in Astana in 2017.
Jennifer Law suggests that one of the iconic objects of the Kazakh capital will be the futuristic building of the World EXPO.
China daily quotes Rapil Zhoshybayev, First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, Commissioner of the International Specialized Exhibition EXPO:
- The EXPO is an ambitious national project, which will begin the real revival of the domestic tourism industry.
In the future, it is planned to increase the share of tourism in the country's GDP from 0.3% currently to 3% by 2020.
Jennifer Law also talks about the pilot project, according to which Kazakhstan introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of ten countries that have demonstrated high investment activity in the republic.
Among the unique attractions of our country, which are of great interest to foreign tourists, are the Charyn Canyon, the Caspian Sea, the Mangystau region, Borovoye lakes, as well as pink flamingos.
The story about the average family of oralman Zhanbolat Oralbay, who returned to Kazakhstan from Mongolia, continues the theme of national symbols.
Finding oneself in the historical homeland is always a difficult test, which Zhanbolat endured with dignity.
Jennifer admires the centuries-old traditions of steppe hospitality.
Yurta and dombra, inscribed yesterday on the UNESCO World Heritage List, beshbarmak, baursaks – our national symbols – expanded its journalistic vocabulary and deciphered the mentality of the Kazakh people.
The KZ application ends with a rare portrait essay in today ’ s journalism dedicated to the president of the Republican Association of Business Women Raushan Sarsembayeva.
China daily presents her in the same capacity that the country has long known – self-made-women and businesswomen (women who made themselves, and a successful business lady).
New horizons - so symbolically called one of the materials of the Kazakh application.
Indeed, Baiterek ’ s new horizons now extend to Australia, Brunei, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand.
In all these countries, China Daily is the most popular Asian weekly in English.
Therefore, our national symbols are known today under the Southern Cross.
Bayterek, dombra, yurta on the Green Continent are pronounced quite correctly.

What are Cairo ’ s targets for US Air Force deals?
CAIRO – In a third air armament deal in five months, Washington plans to supply Cairo with Chinook 47 (CH-47F) helicopters, the announcement of which follows a potential F-15 deal that has been blocked by Israel for decades.
What are the reasons for the recent U.S. shifts toward Egypt, and why is Cairo seeking to support its air force with long-range fighter jets and helicopters?
Last Thursday, the State Department announced approval of proposed foreign military sales to Egypt, including up to 23 Chinook 47 helicopters and related equipment at an estimated cost of $2.6 billion.
The Pentagon said the proposed sale would “strengthen foreign policy and national security by helping to improve the security of a key non-NATO ally that remains an important strategic partner in the Middle East. ”
It added that the proposed sale “will improve Egypt ’ s capabilities to strengthen its defense of the homeland and deter regional threats, ” noting at the same time that it“ will not change the basic military balance in the region, ” a reference that may seem to indicate qualitative superiority in favor of Israel.
There are Egyptian considerations that prompted Cairo to support its air fleet, which, according to observers to Al Jazeera Net, is that the recent deals come in the context of enhancing combat capabilities to face potential regional threats, as this system (of fighters and helicopters) is suitable for launching long-range attacks.
With regard to American considerations, the visions appear to be different, between being a satisfaction for Egypt as an ally and a major buyer of arms, and another opinion based on the Pentagon statement that military deals are based on national security interests, and not changing the balance equations in the region to the detriment of Israel.
Third in 2022
Since the beginning of this year, Washington has announced three possible deals with Cairo to support the Egyptian Air Force through the following channels:
March 10: A possible sale of 12 C-130 Super Hercules, an advanced generation of military cargo aircraft, is worth $2.2 billion.
The deal was blocked in January after the White House announced it was withholding part of military aid to Egypt due to human rights criticism.
In mid-March, Central Command chief Frank McKenzie announced that his country planned to sell F-15 fighter jets to Egypt, without elaborating on the deal, which had been blocked by Israel for decades.
On Thursday, Washington announced a possible Chinook 47 helicopter deal.
According to official procedures, such transactions require the approval of the State Department and Congress.
On February 9, during a visit to Egypt, McKenzie promised “very strong ” military assistance.
Combat Capabilities
The expert in national security and international relations, Major General Mohammed Abdul Wahid, considered the Shinok-47 deal as an indicator of the upgrading of the strategic partnership between his country and America to a better stage than it was.
He added that the US deals were all high-tech and only granted to NATO countries or countries that have a strong strategic partnership with Washington.
The F-47 Chinook has multiple combat missions, according to the Egyptian security expert, as:
• The latest model in the Chinook system manufactured by Boeing since 1962.
• It has high maneuverability and flying in difficult climatic conditions, and is the fastest helicopter in the world.
• Capable of transporting about 40 to 50 fighters with full military equipment.
• It has advanced navigational, electronic, monitoring and meteorological systems.
What the helicopter will add to the Egyptian army, Abdel Wahid focused on the following points:
Egypt has Chinook helicopters, but the 47 is the latest you ’ ll get.
• It will provide a breakthrough in the field of transport of Egyptian airborne troops, especially special forces.
• Can achieve rapid support for any forces on the front line and in places of combat with speed and high maneuverability.
It has an operational range of about 600 kilometers and can carry 11 tons, which is a significant figure for helicopters in the shipment of personnel and heavy equipment such as howitzer (a lightweight long-range weapon).
• The inclusion of such a helicopter in the Air Force enhances the capabilities of counterterrorism operations and Egypt ’ s enemies in the region.
The current challenges require a strong army equipped with the latest equipment and technology in the world.
• Egypt should have a long arm that reaches any place in the world that threatens its national security.
Anticipate the escalation of threats
For his part, academic and political analyst Mohammed Zawawi pointed to strategic and strategic assessments in Egypt, which work to pre-empt the escalation of threats in the region, including the establishment of the military base of Bernice on the Red Sea, and the acquisition of advanced fighters was an urgent demand for the Egyptian army, contrary to US estimates.
In this regard, Zawawi explained that the most prominent of these estimates are:
• Despite Egypt ’ s efforts in recent years to diversify the sources of weapons, especially fighter jets, by resorting to France to import Rafale as well as Russia to import MiGs and Sukhoi, the backbone of the Air Force remains the American F-16 fighter jets, which Cairo is in talks to develop and modernize.
Washington ’ s approval of the F-15 deal may come as compensation for not giving it the F-35, which is too close to its capabilities.
Washington ’ s goal is to appease Egypt and keep it in the Western alliance as an ally and a major arms buyer.
• After Egypt has the X-Hercules transport and reconnaissance aircraft, and the Chinook heavy transport helicopters, the qualitative development is the F-15 fighter.
• This system of fighter jets and transport and reconnaissance helicopters is suitable for long-range attacks on targets such as the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
X-Hercules aircraft have a high capability for jamming, reconnaissance and air support in long-range operations, as well as the ability to carry heavy weight missiles.
Chinook helicopters, capable of carrying heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles.
• Perhaps this armament gives a signal to Ethiopia to be serious in negotiating and preserving Egypt ’ s water interests, especially with the recent Ethiopian-Russian rapprochement, where Moscow worked to support the Ethiopian position in the Security Council against Egypt.
Signs of the American position
On the implications of the American shift with Egypt recently in light of the cooling in other corners of bilateral relations, Egyptian journalist specialized in international relations and politics, Abdel Rahman Youssef, pointed out that any considerations for the supply of American weapons to Egypt or any other country are always based on two issues: national security interests, and not changing the equations of the balance of the region against Israel.
Youssef, a Washington-based resident, said military ties between Cairo and Washington, especially those linked to arms sales, were not always strongly linked to human rights issues, perhaps different in some sanctions or bans in special circumstances.
He cited what happened after the summer of 2013 when Egypt faced a crisis with continued imports of weapons or military aid following the army ’ s ouster of the late President Mohamed Morsi, which Western circles informally considered a “military coup. ”
According to Youssef, the issue of arms sales goes smoothly most of the time, according to American interests, and it benefits the arms factories and delights the arms lobbies, and Egypt will pay for it now or later.
As for the Chinook 47 deal, the writer ruled out that it was concluded in the framework of encouraging Egypt to reconsider its arms deals with Russia or China, explaining that it does not fall within the framework of this equation, and this may apply to the F-15 deal.
He attributed this to the fact that Chinook was not a prohibited deal for Egypt, but rather ordinary weapons that come in a natural context, in which Egypt is going intensively, placing it in the third place globally among the largest arms importers in the world after Saudi Arabia and India in the period (2016-2020), according to the Stockholm International Research Institute.
Complexities and Challenges
From a Western perspective, a recent study by the Washington-based Washington Institute for Near East Policy warned of backfire if pressure was put on Cairo to restrict its weapons programs because of human rights abuses.
David Whitey, an American military expert, said in a study titled “The U.S.-Egyptian Military Relationship. ”
The US pressure may push Cairo to resort to other countries in arms deals, as has happened in recent years.
Whitey recommended that Egypt view the military aid provided to Cairo as an operating expense, which is its true nature, rather than as a gift to Egypt.
He also called for flexibility in the provision of advanced technological equipment, noting that this will not affect the regional balance of power radically as in the past.

The Most Widely-Flown Military Aircraft in the World

There is a wide array of military aircraft that are employed to assert power, defend territories and execute strategic operations by military forces around the world. At the end of the day, the aircraft that can get the job done is the one that flies the mission and throughout the years many of these aircraft have proven themselves through their operational effectiveness. As such, some military aircraft rise to a level of prominence and worldwide proliferation. (These are the legendary military planes throughout history.)

To identify the military aircraft that are used by the most military forces, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the report 2024 World Air Forces from FlightGlobal, an aviation and aerospace industry website. Aircraft were ranked by the number of military forces using them. Only distinctly unique countable aircraft used by more than 15 countries or more are listed. Supplemental data regarding the type of aircraft, how many are on order or in active service, and notable countries that use these aircraft also came from FlightGlobal.

The MiG-29 Fulcrum is one of the more popular combat aircraft globally, finding a place in more than 30 military forces. Known for its speed, maneuverability, and offensive power, these fighter jets are the primary instruments of aerial warfare. The U.S.-made F-35 Lightning II or the Russian Su-25 Frogfoot are examples of other fighters that have found favor with global militaries.

One interesting thing to note about the aircraft on this list is that there are the two main producers of these aircraft, namely the United States and Russia. While other countries might own some of the aircraft from one or the other depending on their alliances, the United States and Russia are the main proprietors of these military aircraft. (These are the oldest and newest fighter jets in modern air forces.)

Also worth noting is that many of the aircraft at the top of the list, used by the most militaries, are helicopters. Overall, these aircraft are used by multiple military forces worldwide, with each playing an important role.
