Re <<"mistakes were made...">> mistakes about to be fixed, am told. Agnostic, as I am about what might be happening on Afghanistan. zerohedge.com Syrian President Assad Heads To China For 1st Official Visit Since 2004 Via The Cradle, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will travelto China on September 21 to participate in a Syrian-Chinese summit at the official invitation of his counterpart Xi Jinping. According to Syrian state media, Assad will lead a high-level political and economic delegation for official meetings in the cities of Beijing and Guangzhou. Syria's official delegation will include Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad and Finance Minister Samer al-Khalil. This will mark Assad's first official visit to Beijing since 2004. [url=]Via Enab Baladi[/url] Analysts expect several bilateral agreements to be signed during Assad's visit as part of China's larger strategy to cement its position as a power broker in West Asia. Beijing has already proved instrumental once this year in helping Syria come in from the cold afterChinese officials brokered the historic Iran-Saudi rapprochementthat also saw a normalization of ties between Gulf states and Damascus. In the weeks that followed the Saudi-Iran deal, Syria was also welcomed back into the Arab League, a development which China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin called evidence that "when the shadow of the US shrinks, the light of peace spreads." In March, Chinese officials urgedthe US to end its illegal military occupation of Syria and stop looting its resources, stressing that its continued presence has worsened Syria's humanitarian crisis. "China has throughout the years defended Syria’s territorial integrity and many times used its veto power at the UN Security Council to prevent interventions in the Arab country’s internal affairs," Kosai Abido, a Syrian political analyst and author, told Press TVthis week. "Since China is considered a friendly state for Syria and has significant economic power, cooperation agreements with this country should be expanded to include food, pharmaceutical, and technology sectors," Abido added. Last year, Chinese and Syrian officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) welcoming Damascus into the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a mega-infrastructure project that seeks to bring capital and infrastructure to Global South countries while dramatically strengthening connectivity for commerce, finance, and culture.

just returned from swimming, 30 min daily, one circle around the shark net perimeter and shore, and a bit of flopping around, concluding before the kids get there after school actually no one there these days as path sealed due to fallen trees by action of recent storms I first rapid-walk the cliff side (where the pic was taken), listen to the vlogs curated, and then down the hill into the water temperature very nice, especially given the contrast between sea and land surface temperature, 28 degrees vs 42 degrees good exercise and best vitamin D
