He says that Chile's salmon industry would invest more money "if they felt that there was a better regulatory framework, and the government gave some certainty about the areas where they can farm".Yet with a general election due in Chile later this year, the uncertainty may continue at least in the short term.
Russia has continued to make billions from fossil fuel exports to the West, data shows, helping to finance its full-scale invasion of Ukraine – now in its fourth year.Since the start of that invasion in February 2022, Russia has made more than three times as much money by exporting hydrocarbons than Ukraine has received in aid allocated by its allies.Data analysed by the BBC show that Ukraine's Western allies have paid Russia more for its hydrocarbons than they have given Ukraine in aid.
Campaigners say governments in Europe and North America need to do more to stop Russian oil and gas from fuelling the war with Ukraine.Proceeds made from selling oil and gas are key to keeping Russia's war machine going.
Oil and gas account for almost a third of Russia's state revenue and more than 60% of its exports.
In the wake of the February 2022 invasion, Ukraine's allies imposed sanctions on Russian hydrocarbons. The US and UK banned Russian oil and gas, while the EU banned Russian seaborne crude imports, but not gas.China has yet to respond to either Marles or Teodoro.
Organised by the think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Shangri-la Dialogue has traditionally been anchored by the US and China, which have been jostling for power in the region.This year China has sent a lower-level delegation and scrapped its speech.

On Sunday morning, Marles asserted that "what we have seen from China is the single biggest increase in military capability and build up in conventional sense, by any country since the end of the Second World War".It is not just the size of the military build-up that concerns other countries, he told reporters.
