Chan stated that under the national "dual circulation" development strategy, Hong Kongs international advantages can effectively assist mainland enterprises in connecting with the global market. The mainlands outstanding scientific and technological innovation capabilities can be efficiently linked with Hong Kongs international advantages, helping enterprises transform R&D results into overseas orders. At the same time, Hong Kong can introduce long-term international funding for hard-tech companies that require "patient capital," achieving "small-scale, early-stage, and long-term investment," supporting the growth of promising technology companies and emerging and future industries. Furthermore, Hong Kongs developing northern metropolitan area highly aligns with the strong entrepreneurial atmosphere of places like Xian, forming a positive cycle of mutual empowerment among education, technology, talent, and industry.Saudi Foreign Ministry: We strongly condemn Irans attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain and the threats to the safety and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.Russian Ministry of Defense: In the past 24 hours, we have shot down 590 Ukrainian drones.

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
