MANILA  -The Philippines needs to attract more investors in the nickel sector to support the growing demand for nickel ore, especially as investments in clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to surge to more than $1 trillion globally in the next five years, according to a group of nickel mining players.

ANKARA — Turkey's parliament approved a bill on Thursday to allow Finland to join NATO, clearing the way for the country to become part of the Western defense alliance as war rages in Ukraine. The Turkish parliament was the last among the 30 members of the alliance to ratify Finland's membership after Hungary's legislature approved a similar bill earlier this week. President Tayyip Erdogan said earlier in March that Finland had secured Turkey's blessing after taking concrete steps to keep promises to crack down on groups seen by Ankara as terrorists, and to free up defence exports.
