JAKARTA, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Indonesian Transport Minister Dudi Purwagandhi on Wednesday apologized on behalf of the government for a boat capsizing at the entrance to Sanur Harbor on Bali island and called for immediate measures to address the aftermath of the accident.

The vessel, which was carrying 75 passengers and five crew members, left Nusa Penida harbour at around 2.30pm local time on Tuesday and capsized at around 3.15pm while entering Sanur harbour, the minister said in a statement on Wednesday.

“We express our condolences and regret over the capsizing of the Bali Dolphin Cruise 2 speedboat at the entrance to Sanur Harbour in Bali. On behalf of the government, we apologize and will immediately look into and assess this incident,” the minister said.

The statement said sea conditions were calm during the voyage, but as the vessel passed the red and green buoys at the entrance to the harbour and turned to approach the berth, a sudden wave hit the port side, causing the vessel to capsize.

The minister said a navigational warning had also been issued to help prevent similar maritime incidents and ensure safety of shipping.

Two passengers, both Chinese nationals, were confirmed dead. One crew member was reported missing in the crash. A total of 73 passengers and four crew members were rescued and taken to hospital.

As of Wednesday, the body of the missing crew member was found, raising the death toll to three.

The Chinese Consulate General in Denpasar, Bali, has reminded Chinese citizens in Indonesia to monitor sea conditions and pay attention to travel safety. –0–

TEHRAN/Cairo, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdel Atty on Wednesday stressed the need to stop Israeli "crimes" in the Gaza Strip and ensure immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave.

According to a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry, during the telephone conversation the two sides discussed the latest regional and international developments as well as bilateral ties.

They exchanged views on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza due to Israel's siege of the coastal enclave, the statement said.

The ministers also discussed the Iranian nuclear issue following the Israeli-American attacks on the country and reviewed bilateral relations.

Meanwhile, Egypt said it was continuing to airdrop humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip, sending 12 warplanes over the past three days to deliver food and essential aid to Palestinians in areas difficult to reach by land, the Egyptian military said in a statement on Wednesday.

The military said the aim of the airdrop was to “alleviate the difficult living conditions and meet the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” part of Egypt’s ongoing efforts to support them in the current crisis.

Israel has been waging a full-scale war in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has so far killed 61,158 Palestinians, injured another 151,442, and caused widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure, according to updated information released by Gaza health authorities on Wednesday. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — China on Wednesday unveiled an action plan for a new round of rural highway upgrading to improve rural transportation infrastructure and promote all-round rural revitalization.

The plan, published by the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Natural Resources, sets out ambitious goals to improve the technical standards of rural highways, close gaps in their maintenance and create an efficient rural road network to support agricultural modernisation.

The document includes specific targets such as building and upgrading 300,000 km of rural highways and repairing another 300,000 km of rural roads. The plan stipulates that more than 70 percent of rural highways should be maintained in “good condition,” while the public bus network should cover 55 percent of all villages.

The central government will provide funding for the initiative, and provincial-level authorities will coordinate the use of local resources for the construction, management, maintenance and operation of rural highways. Unregulated debt financing and the creation of new hidden debt by government agencies are strictly prohibited, and enhanced fiscal supervision will be introduced at all administrative levels, the plan says.

Innovative financing channels are encouraged, including legally supported participation of financial institutions and private companies in rural road development. It is also proposed to explore the possibility of strengthening medium- and long-term credit support, create more sustainable financing mechanisms and test differentiated lending models based on market principles. –0–
