MANILA (The Thursday Times) — Philippines ne Haftay ko ibtidai muahidon par dastakhat kiye jin ke tehat hangami halaat mein Indonesia aur Thailand mein zakheera shuda tail se istifade ke imkanaat talash kiye jayenge, kyunke Junoob Mashriqi Asia ke mulk Iran ke sath jang ki wajah se supply ke jhatkon se bachne ke raste dhoond rahe hain.
Sarkari tail o gas talash karne wali company PNOC Exploration Corporation ne Manila mein ASEAN Business and Investment Summit ke mauqe par Indonesia ki Interport Mandiri Utama aur Shell Company of Thailand ke sath alag alag letters of intent par dastakhat kiye. Yeh dastakhat us din se ek roz pehle huay jab Philippines ASEAN rehnumaon ke sarbarahi ijlas ka aaghaz kar raha hai.
Ilaqai think tank Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) ne kaha ke in mansoobon mein "oil ticketing mechanisms" ka jaiza liya jayega, jis mein "Philippines mein tail ki supply ke tahaffuz aur hangami tayyari ke liye Indonesia aur Thailand mein maujood tail zakheera karne ki sahooliyat ka mumkina istemal" bhi shamil hai. ERIA aur Indonesian Business Council ilmi shirakat daar ke taur par is mein hissa le rahe hain.
Oil ticketing ke nizam mein koi mulk yeh haq khareedta hai ke apni supply munqata hone ki soorat mein woh kisi doosre mulk ke zakheere mein rakha tail khareed sake, aur use pehle se apne tank banane aur zakheera khareedne ki zaroorat nahin parti. Yeh nizam European Union mein raij hai lekin Junoob Mashriqi Asia mein yeh apni naueeyat ka pehla intezam hoga. Reports ke mutabiq Laos aur Timor-Leste bhi is mein shamil hone par ghaur kar rahe hain.
Japan ilaqai zakheere ki himayat mein
Yeh muahide aise waqt huay hain jab Japan Junoob Mashriqi Asiai mumalik ki tanzeem ASEAN ko petroleum masnoo'at ka mushtarka zakheera banane mein madad dene ki tayyari kar raha hai, mansoobe se waqif afraad ne yeh baat batai. ASEAN 2027 tak Indonesia aur Thailand mein zakheera adde qaim karne par ghaur kar raha hai jahan se rukn mumalik hangami soorat mein supply hasil kar sakenge, aur tawaqqo hai ke is mansoobe ko sarbarahi ijlas ke mauqe par bazabita shakal di jayegi.
Tokyo, jo surgical dastanon jaisi petroleum se banne wali ashya ke liye Junoob Mashriqi Asia par inhisar karta hai, ne April mein Asia ki supply chains ko zyada mazboot banane ke liye "Power Asia" framework shuru kiya tha. Wazir-e-Azam Sanae Takaichi Mangal ko Asia Zero Emission Community ke sarbarahi ijlas mein shirkat karengi, jis mein Japan, Junoob Mashriqi Asiai mumalik aur Australia shamil hain. Jumeraat ko hukmaran Liberal Democratic Party ke arkan-e-parliament ke ek group ne unhein tajaweez paish kin jin mein ASEAN ke mushtarka zakheere par qareebi taawun bhi shamil tha.
Khaleeji jang se sab se zyada mutasir
Junoob Mashriqi Asia ki kai maeeshatein khaam tail ke liye Mashriq-e-Wusta par inhisar karti hain aur un ke zakhair kam hain, isi liye Aabnae Hormuz se jahaz rani amalan band hone par yeh sab se zyada mutasir hone walon mein shamil thin. Philippines, jo apna taqreeban 98 feesad tail Khaleej se daraamad karta hai, March mein qaumi tawanai emergency ka elaan karne wala pehla mulk bana, aur Sadr Ferdinand Marcos Jr ne mushtarka zakheere par ilaqai mutale ka mutalba kiya hai.
Manila Philippine Strategic Petroleum Reserve Act par bhi ghaur kar raha hai, jis se mulk ka pehla sarkari tail zakheera qaim hoga. Tawanai ke wakeel aur University of the Philippines ke professor Noel Baga ne kaha ke yeh zakheera tarjeeh hona chahiye, kyunke sirf mulk ke andar zakheera gahein aur refineries hi "mulk ki tawanai ke tahaffuz ko sahi maanon mein yaqeeni bana sakti hain, tail ki daraamadat par inhisar kam kar sakti hain aur tail ki qeematein ghata sakti hain".
Khaleeji baramadaat bahal hona shuru ho gayi hain, aur International Energy Agency ne is hafte kaha ke tail ki mandi dobara surplus mein aa gayi hai. Tawaqqo hai ke Mangal tak jari rehne wale Manila mein ASEAN sarbarahi ijlas mein Myanmar aur Bahira-e-Junoobi Cheen ke sath tawanai ka tahaffuz bhi zer-e-behes aayega.
