Malaysia has applied to ADB for a loan to build oil-palm mills, and two weeks ago the bank signed a technical-assistance agreement with the Philippines under which ADB will send five experts...
...Roval Canadian Air Force sent a C-130 from Resolute Bay this "morning" with a 3,000-pound payload of huts, newspapers, dog food, and tea for the summer camp.
