Gina Raimondo What's new: China is open to a visit by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and upholds the importance of dialogue, the Ministry of Commerce said.

In response to a question on the matter, China's Commerce Ministry said it has not received any information from the U.S., but China 'is open to Raimondo's wish to visit.' 'We believe that it is very important for the commerce departments of the two sides to maintain dialogue and communication,' the ministry said in a statement.

BUDAPEST – Hungary will continue to allow transit of Ukrainian grain, ensuring the departure of such shipments 'in a controlled manner,' its agriculture minister, Istvan Nagy, told state news agency MTI after talks in Brussels. Nagy was also cited by MTI late on Wednesday as saying that talks were underway about further products that could fall under a current import ban, in addition to wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower. The European Commission said on Wednesday it would take emergency 'preventive measures' for wheat, maize, sunflower seeds and rapeseed after a joint complaint from Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia at the end of March.

Noting that the many holidays in the country have become 'an issue' to the business sector, Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual said he wants to limit the number of annual holidays to 10. This means Filipinos would be limited to the 10 regular holidays that have been traditionally observed in the country—not counting All Saints' Day and New Year's Eve—if he were to have it his way. But Pascual would also be defying his own boss, President Marcos, whose Proclamation No. 90 created at least two longer weekends for 2023.

Commercial Hotel, Halifax It is cheaper to buy a pub with 12 bedrooms in North Queensland than it is to buy an average house in 868 suburbs. The Commercial Hotel in Halifax is listed for $350,000 — less than a run-of-the-mill house in Bundaberg, Cairns North and South Townsville. And you could buy 11 pubs for the median house price in Queensland's most expensive suburb, Teneriffe. On a 2331sq m block, the hotel is being sold as a vacant possession. 'Love to fish, love beer, room to move,' the listing by Explore Property Cairns agent Belinda Andersen says.
