巴基斯坦外交部：伊斯坦布尔会议是根据《麦加联合防务协议》设立的战略政治和防务委员会的首次会议。

Aug 28 — Multiple ministries issued three major documents on housing sales reform, reconstruction of the real-estate credit system and capital-market support to build a new property development model. New measures include prioritizing sale of completed homes for newly released land and raising the unified presale threshold to main-structure topping-out. Markets view this as a structural overhaul of the commodity-housing presale system. Guangdong Real Estate Industry Association president Wang Shao said the changes are a phased, categorized reform rather than an immediate end to presales. The policy package aims to lower sector leverage, strip excessive financialization from housing and refocus real estate on residence. Wang said completed-home sales will substantially raise industry entry barriers and force a reconstruction of developers’ traditional high-turnover financing and development logic; he expects short-term adjustment pain but possible entry into a higher-quality development cycle over the medium to long term.

TankerTrackers says that over the last full seven-day period crude cargoes on vessels departing a US naval blockade line averaged 6.7 mln barrels per day. The estimate uses AIS data plus hundreds of daily satellite images; it includes tankers that switched off AIS identified by imagery and vessels that only reactivated AIS several days after leaving the blockade line.
