Lithuania Pledges €30 Mln for Patriot Missile Systems for Ukraine
Israa Farhan Lithuania has committed €30 million towards the procurement of US-made Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine, marking a significant contribution to Western-led efforts to strengthen Kyiv's defense capabilities against ongoing Russian aggression. The announcement was made by Lithuanian Defense Minister Dovile Sakaliene following a high-level meeting in which defense chiefs from the Baltic states convened with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The funds will support a joint initiative to acquire advanced anti-aircraft missile systems from the United States. The pledge signals alignment with US President Donald Trump's position that further weapons deliveries to Ukraine will be contingent on European nations financing such efforts. The Patriot missile systems, known for their high-precision interception capabilities, are expected to enhance Ukraine's ability to counter aerial threats, including missile and drone attacks. Under the initiative, NATO will oversee the coordination of logistics and delivery. The United States has confirmed plans to transfer 17 Patriot units as part of this multinational defense effort. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

London to Host Inaugural UK-Africa Business Summit to Boost Trade and Investment
London will host its first UK-Africa Business Summit in 2026, in a strategic push to enhance trade and investment ties with the African continent. The announcement was made by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said the summit would position the British capital as a global hub for African businesses and investors. Set to take place next year, the summit aims to bring together African entrepreneurs, investors, government representatives, stock exchanges, and business networks from across the continent. Organisers say the event will promote London as a springboard for African companies looking to expand internationally. The initiative is backed by data from London & Partners, the city's official promotional agency, which projects that trade between the UK and Africa could reach £62 billion by 2030. The report, based on data from the Office for National Statistics and the IMF, highlights the rapid growth of Africa's tech ecosystem—up 40% since 2019—and names Lagos as the world's top emerging tech hub. London Builds Momentum as Gateway for African Investment London has long positioned itself as a key destination for African capital. Since 2013, it has remained the leading European city for African foreign direct investment, attracting 72 African-led investment projects. It is also ranked second globally among cities outside Africa in attracting such investment. Mayor Khan recently returned from a high-profile trade mission to African capitals including Lagos, Accra, Johannesburg and Cape Town, where he met with local officials and private sector leaders. The visit, he said, was aimed at 'building stronger bridges' with the continent and exploring new avenues for collaboration. He was accompanied by a delegation of 27 London-based companies looking to grow in African markets. 'London is uniquely positioned to benefit from Africa's fast-growing economies—whether through tech startups or financial services,' Khan said. 'This summit is a key part of our international strategy and will help generate thousands of high-quality jobs in the coming years.' The summit is expected to mark a turning point in UK-Africa relations, at a time when both sides are seeking to diversify economic partnerships. Organisers say it will not only boost bilateral trade but also strengthen London's role as a platform for global investment into Africa's innovation economy.

Saudi announces $5 billion in Syria investments - Region
A Saudi delegation visiting Damascus on Wednesday inked investment and partnership deals valued at $5 billion to help rebuild war-battered Syria, the oil-rich Gulf kingdom announced. Saudi Arabia has been a major backer of the new Syrian government, which seized power after Islamist-led rebels toppled longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad in December following 14 years of civil war. The delegation of some 150 investors and representatives of the Saudi public and private sectors, led by Investment Minister Khalid Al-Falih, attended a forum in Damascus. "The announced investments, valued at 19 billion Saudi riyals (about $5 billion), span vital and strategic sectors, including real estate, infrastructure, communications and IT, transportation and logistics, industry, tourism, energy, trade," and more, a statement from the investment ministry said. On Tuesday, the ministry had said the Damascus forum aimed to "explore cooperation opportunities and sign agreements that enhance sustainable development and serve the interests of the two brotherly peoples". Earlier this month, President Donald Trump formalised the dismantling of US sanctions on Syria, hoping to reintegrate the country into the global economy. He had already lifted most of the measures in May, responding to appeals from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The US president met Syria's interim leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, during a visit to Saudi Arabia the same month. Sharaa, a former jihadist, had also paid a visit to Riyadh in February in his first trip abroad since Assad's ouster. Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia and Qatar pledged to settle Syria's debt to the World Bank, totalling about $15 million. Despite vows to unify the country, the new government in Damascus has struggled to maintain order, with deadly clashes involving minority groups raising questions about Syria's stability. Bloody violence in Sweida province earlier this month started with clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouin tribes, but soon escalated, with Israel later intervening with air strikes targeting government installations. More than 1,300 people, mostly Druze, were estimated to have been killed during the fighting, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor.
