2:13 pm
a lot of delegation here today. first of all, the united nation african union and countries around the child, they all came here today to see the peace agreement. that's why today we are very happy with it, but the mystic and then how much you just did. he, he's will came when he came here already to see all the political movement here's to, to say, to appreciate them to sign the lease agreement. seems that not all charges are ready for peace because some of them have not attended this ceremony today. and they have not find one of them is one of the most active groups in shot military. yeah. peace agreement is still open and it's still open for everybody to join the peace agreement in the future. so we ers and then today are everybody traded in science and then because this is a chart for the child to and so anybody who did in science here will continue to
2:14 pm
sign the agreement is open. so you can send that one of the main factions, an armed function, very active in the country, has not attended and has an planet. so that is the hesitation for the fax. so because the stay here for 5 months to, to negotiate with the child in elements that i have the optimistic, they are welcome in the future, to signs in peace or agreement of the joins is this agreement. so that's why, you know, like all the chat in government is still the half hour that demand for everybody and outside the country will come and then to join the piece. like you so much fuddled scene from the national council for reform. so basically the 42, a groups that have signed, disagreement they, they say they are very optimistic. they said this is the biggest, the biggest gathering and the biggest deal of its kind. a child has seen chad has signed dozens of similar deals in the past. but they said this is the greatest and

2:19 pm
his announce that will conduct more anti submarine on naval operations. on monday, the military exercises began when taiwan hosted us house speaker, nancy pelosi last week. and were due to end on sunday, china's foreign ministry has defended those military exercises. journalists, patrick folk, is in beijing with the details. which is foreign ministry certainly didn't once elaborate on any further detail about the continuation of drills. but when asked about the daily press briefing, here in beijing spokes person, one, when been simply said that the military has already issued a statement and referred reported to that. that statements issued by the eastern theatre commands of the exercises would focus on anti submarine drills as well as see a sole drills. but it didn't say where exactly that would taking place or how long this might all last. so this really does great for the concern and uncertainty about the situation, not least because taiwan had said previously that airlines have resumed normal
2:20 pm
operations over its air space. so we're not sure there's going to be back on that and we're not sure it will impact ships sailing through the taiwan straits either. but one thing that was notable in particular was one when been was pressed on, whether china had allotted relevant policies about these drills. in accordance with international norms, and he said that taiwan is parts of china and that it conducted normal military exercises in an open and professional way. and this was consistent with international law and customary practices that may be taken possibly as a sign that beijing perhaps won't inform other parties about its military exercises in future. and that would certainly be seen by the u. s. as a major attempt to change the status quo, the bank of thailand is expected to raise interest rate soon to kelter inflation. but that will bring little relief for ties who have seen sharp increases and the
