I think the Middle East needs to diversify away from, you know, oil and gas.
Um, so they need to import, you know, the likes of, you know, Chinese tech, the infrastructure that we mentioned, you know, some of the expertise that the China is able to afford, leverage some of their overcapacity over into their home countries.
And then at the same time, even if it's not just China, but even if you look at India, you look at Asia as a whole, these are among the most populous regions globally.
Demand for oil and gas will only grow.
So that's something that
You know, the Gulf was able to supply to a lot of these markets.
Even if you take a step back away from China, you look at mm the Indonesian Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Pra boa made a trip to to the Gulf recently, India as well, Modi has also made trips to the Gulf recently.
So, you know, and then if we kind of go back to what happened earlier this year, the Trump tariffs, you know, has definitely accelerated this move to kind of for investors to diversify their their their assets, right?
So it's really pushing a lot of these nations to kind of explore more bilateral and multilateral kind of relationships away from, you know, kind of the volatility and uncertainty that you're seeing in the US.
So a lot of these countries are trying to explore some of these newer regions, you know, that they may have less exposure to.
Singapore included too.
And that's why if you notice, like this year has been really interesting just watching kind of
suddenly Singapore is talking about like, oh, we should send our Singaporeans to Latin America and go to Africa, like who would have thought, right?
But you know, it is is definitely indicative of kind of where the global sentiment is now.
And I think
it it's not just a Singapore story, it's not just a Chinese story.
It's very much a global story.
And that's why I think also this idea of kind of the global south, which is what I'm doing also with my Substack and the podcast is really to capture some of these really interesting trade flows and corridors that we're beginning to see.
take place between these regions, right?
