LONDON and NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Ad Hoc Group of Bondholders (the "Group") of the Republic of Sri Lanka ("Sri Lanka") has taken note of the progress Sri Lanka has made with its official sector creditors towards reaching an agreement in principle on a debt treatment within the framework of its IMF Programme.

Consistent with the Group’s February 3, 2023 statement of financing assurances, and in line with the objectives which have been expressed by official and private sector participants in the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable to facilitate more efficient and equitable sovereign debt restructuring processes, the Group remains committed to working with the Sri Lankan authorities as quickly as possible to find a sustainable solution to Sri Lanka’s debt challenges as they relate to its international bond debt.

To that end, the Group, acting through its Steering Committee, recently proactively submitted its own restructuring proposal relating to Sri Lanka’s outstanding international bonds. The proposal, which provides upfront debt relief, includes a menu of new securities that would be offered to the holders of the existing bonds, including a "Macro-Linked Bond" ("MLB").

The MLB is an innovative new instrument that is designed to be liquid and index-eligible and whose payouts are linked to the evolution of Sri Lanka’s gross domestic product. This design seeks to ensure both that the instrument is acceptable to bond market participants and that its cash flows will at all times comply with the Debt Sustainability Analysis targets embedded in Sri Lanka’s IMF Programme in a range of future macroeconomic scenarios.

The Group believes that its proposal, including the MLB, will contribute to restoring Sri Lanka’s debt sustainability and, at the same time, will command broad support from existing holders of Sri Lanka’s international bonds.

The terms of the MLB included in the Group’s proposal delivered to the Sri Lankan authorities are attached as Annex I and II hereto.

The Group is advised by Rothschild & Co and White & Case LLP, as financial and legal advisors, respectively.

Questions may be directed to:

Rothschild & Co: [email protected]
White & Case LLP: [email protected]

HAIKOU, China, Oct. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Hainan International Media Center (HIMC):

The fourth season of the acclaimed nature documentary miniseries This is Hainan: Discovering Mysteries — depicting the secrets of rainforest life in south China’s Hainan province — officially premiered on October 13.

With the first episode focusing on the Big-headed Turtle — the "ruler of the river" living in the mountain rainforest waters, this season features more in-depth explorations of the daily lives of the many creatures living in the Hainan tropical rainforest, which is a global biodiversity conservation hot spot as well as a key wildlife gene bank.

Since beginning work on the first season in May, 2020, the Discovering Mysteries film crew has traipsed deep into the wilds of Yinggeling, Bawangling, Jianfengling, and other areas of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. They have turned their cameras on a large number of iconic Hainan plant and animal species, including the Eld’s Deer, the Leopard Gecko, Weaver Ants, White-crowned Forktails, Phoenix Damselflies, Fragile Wart Frogs, and Bamboo Pit Vipers.

A Big-headed Turtle spotted in the rainforests of Diaoluo Mountain on the tropical island of Hainan.

According to director Zhou Shengtao, what sets the fourth season apart is a more direct focus on the reproduction, habits, migration, symbiotic and hostile relationships, and other instinctive behaviors of each featured species, allowing the viewer to form a deep connection with the creatures depicted and experience the love, power, ferocity, and tenacity of life in the tropical rainforest.

"Ecological and environmental protection are common values of humanity as well as an important area for international dialogue." Zhou notes that this season continues to offer bilingual Chinese and English subtitles, as well as adding English language narration in the hopes of sharing the stories of China’s ecological and environmental protection with a wider global audience.

To faithfully record the scenery and species diversity of the Hainan tropical rainforest and capture key shots that can only be filmed during certain seasons and times, the team spent over 140 days filming in the rainforest and overcame an onslaught of adverse conditions including tight schedules, difficult tasks, heavy downpours, and scorching heat.

Jointly produced by the New Hainan App, Hinews, Nanguo Metropolis Daily, and the Hainan International Media Center, the first three seasons of the miniseries have received a total of over 180 million views on both domestic and international media platforms.

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — At UBBF 2023, Richard Liu, President of Huawei’s Carrier BG Marketing & Solution Sales Dept, delivered a keynote speech titled "Embracing New Opportunities with Premium Intelligent Connectivity". He explained that there are five capabilities of premium intelligent connectivity and noted that carriers need such connectivity to seize new opportunities in the era of digital intelligence.

Richard Liu speaking at the 9th Ultra-Broadband Forum

The five capabilities are as follows:

Ubiquitous gigabit: As smart home and home cloud services are becoming more and more popular, carriers’ network shall be ready for ubiquitous gigabit connectivity and the capability to evolve to 10G. Huawei’s FTTR solution provides home-wide Wi-Fi coverage, and its XGS-PON solution meets the requirement of symmetric upstream and downstream gigabit connect for home cloud services. Furthermore, Huawei’s 50G PON solution helps carriers smoothly evolve their access networks to 10G access, delivering better home service experience.

Firewall: Cloud access and Internet access services offered to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) require carriers to provide cloud, network and firewall convergence services. Huawei’s Cloud-Network Express+ solution provides one-stop ICT services — including private line + firewall and + Wi-Fi management services — to meet the SMEs requirements for ultra-broadband connectivity with firewall.

Elastic ultra-broadband: As more and more enterprises are migrating their core production systems — not just office automation systems — to the cloud, elastic ultra-broadband ranging from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps and up to 10 Gbps is required. Huawei’s Multi-Cloud Backbone and OTN Private Line solutions can offer more than 100 thousand network slices and extreme-large bandwidth, helping carriers realize multi-cloud access networks and guaranteeing enterprises’ cloudification.

Low latency: Applications such as live streaming and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) promote edge service innovation, driving carriers to re-architect transport networks for low latency assurance. Huawei provides 400G + OXC technologies to assist carriers rolling out low-latency DC-centric ultra-broadband networks which is able evolve to 800G and realize 10ms-based latency services for fueling development of innovative services.

Intelligent lossless transmission: In the intelligent computing era, the coordinated development of transmission and computing power requires carriers’ computing networks to offer intelligent lossless transmission. For intra-cloud connectivity, Huawei solution of AI Network Turbo can enable the load balancing intelligently. And for inter-cloud connect, Huawei provides end-to-end 400G transport network capabilities that is ready for seamless 800G evolution, and accelerates the large-scale commercial use of computing services.

The momentum of Industry development needs to be sustainably generated by both technology and business. In terms of technology, Huawei keeps working with carriers and industrial standards institutes to advance 5.5G industry standards and 5.5G-oriented target networks. Through this, it will be possible to meet the requirements of 100G mobile backhauling and 400G/800G network transporting which are brought by ubiquitous 10Gbps access. And in terms of business, Huawei cooperates with carriers together to deploy premium intelligent connectivity, ramp up commercial use in key scenarios, and ultimately unlock the value of digital intelligence transformation in industries.

Richard emphasized Huawei’s ability is capable to rollout premium intelligent connectivity, and lots of its cutting-edge solutions are already commercial provisioned worldwide. "From Extreme to Excellence", Huawei is ready to work with carriers to build premium intelligent connectivity for mutual prosperity in the era of digital intelligence.
