  • MIL-OSI NGOs: Update 302 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine

    Source: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) –

    The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been informed about a purported drone attack on the city hall in Enerhodar, where most staff of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) live, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said.

    During a visit to Enerhodar today, the IAEA team members based at the ZNPP were taken to the city hall and could see some damage at the top of the building, which they were told was caused by a drone strike at around 1am on Friday morning. There were no reports of casualties. Enerhodar is located about 5 km from the ZNPP.

    If confirmed, it would be the latest in a series of drone incidents near the ZNPP and other nuclear facilities in Ukraine, further endangering nuclear safety during the conflict.

    “As drone attacks have become increasingly common during the war, so have the risks they pose to the safety and security of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants. I’m deeply concerned about the increased frequency of such incidents. In the case of Enerhodar, they also add to the psychological stress for plant staff, which can also impact nuclear safety and security,” Director General Grossi said.  

    Less than two weeks ago, the IAEA team at the ZNPP was informed of a drone attack that reportedly damaged several vehicles near the site’s cooling pond.

    In February, a drone severely damaged the New Safe Confinement (NSC) at the Chornobyl plant in northern Ukraine, built to prevent any radioactive release from the reactor unit 4 destroyed in the 1986 accident and to protect it from external hazards.

    Ukraine’s operating nuclear power plants (NPPs) – Khmelnytskyy, Rivne and South Ukraine – also regularly report of drones being detected near the respective sites.

    KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Openness brings progress, while closedness leads to backwardness, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Saturday, commenting on the high tariffs imposed by the United States on various countries.

    Amid the ongoing intertwining of changes and chaos in the current international situation, every country must make a choice between unilateralism and multilateralism, closedness and openness, unity and division, said Wang Yi, who attended the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers’ Meetings in Kuala Lumpur.

    China is choosing to be more open, he stressed, explaining that this is not only based on the country’s basic experience of development and growth, but also on the inevitable logic of historical progress.

    Beijing has taken the lead in lifting tariffs on products from least developed countries and Africa as a whole, fully completed negotiations on the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0, and created a new model of inter-regional cooperation at the ASEAN-China-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) summit, the minister added.

    On the contrary, high tariffs on various countries are a clear violation of World Trade Organization rules, disrupt the stable operation of production and supply chains, and hinder the recovery and development of the world economy, Wang said. He called the move irresponsible, unpopular and unsustainable.

    China will continue to firmly stand shoulder to shoulder with countries in the region, promote unity, cooperation and collective strength, and will always be an advocate of multilateralism, a defender of free trade and a champion of open development, the minister stressed. –0–

    KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, briefed reporters on Saturday on his talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers’ Meeting here on Friday.

    Both Beijing and Washington recognize that the China-US relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world, affects both countries and impacts the entire world, he said.

    The common goal of both sides is to translate the important consensus reached by the two heads of state into concrete policies and actions to ensure that the two giant ships – China and the United States – do not deviate from course, lose speed or collide, Wang added.

    According to him, the meeting was constructive and an equal dialogue took place in the spirit of mutual respect.

    The Chinese delegation comprehensively laid out its principled position on relations with the United States, which, according to Wang Yi, strengthened the United States’ understanding of China and paved the way for future exchanges between the diplomatic teams of the two countries.

    The Minister summed up the meeting with the following words: strengthening contacts, preventing misjudgments, managing differences and expanding cooperation.

    Wang Yi noted that from the perspective of historical evolution and humanity as a whole, China and the United States have great common interests and broad space for cooperation.

    Both sides have the responsibility and opportunity to find the right path to improve relations in the new era, the Foreign Minister said. Finding a common language will be a blessing for the peoples of both countries and will give hope to all countries in the world, he added. –0–

    BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) — A delegation from Northeast Agricultural University (NEAU) led by Vice-Rector Chen Qingshan recently visited Russian universities. The visit is aimed at actively promoting a higher level of openness in education in Heilongjiang Province (Northeast China) in the northern direction and creating a vanguard of cooperation with Russia among agricultural universities in the country.

    As reported on the official website of SVSU, during his visit to Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University (KSAU), Chen Qingshan held talks with the university’s vice-rector Maria Ozerova. Chen Qingshan noted that in September this year, SVSU will send the first group of Chinese students majoring in “Food Technology” to KSAU as part of the training program for studying in Russia. He expressed hope for close cooperation between the parties in the joint training of highly qualified personnel in the agricultural sector for China and Russia. At the same time, he proposed exchanging genetic resources of such agricultural crops as potatoes and wheat, as well as accelerating the construction of a Chinese-Russian agricultural demonstration zone so that the results of cooperation could better serve the needs of the agricultural development of the two countries.

    M. Ozerova said that in recent years the two universities have achieved significant results in student exchanges and scientific cooperation. She expressed hope for expanding cooperation in areas such as breeding cold-resistant crops and promoting agricultural technologies so that practical interactions would benefit more industries.

    The delegation also visited the Ural Federal Agricultural Research Center. Chen Qingshan noted the outstanding potential of the center in the field of genetic resource reserves and commercialization of research results. He proposed that the parties continue joint research in the field of potatoes, wheat, flax and other crops, providing technological support for Chinese-Russian agricultural cooperation.

    By deepening joint training with leading Russian agricultural universities and research institutes, promoting joint scientific research and establishing agricultural demonstration zones, HSAU aims to establish a cooperation model with Russia characterized by the unity of the three components of “education-scientific research-social services” and the deep integration of production, education, scientific research and application. This will comprehensively enhance the internationalization level of the university and contribute to the modernization of agriculture and the expansion of agricultural technology in Heilongjiang Province abroad. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Audience with members of the General Chapters of eight Religious Institutes

    Source: The Holy See

    Audience with members of the General Chapters of eight Religious Institutes, 12.07.2025
    This morning, in the Courtyard of the Apostolic Palace of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfi, the Holy Father Leo XIV received in audience the participants in the General Chapters of: the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (PIME), the Pontifical Institute of the Religious Teachers Filippini, the Religious Teachers Venerini, the Daughters of the Church, the Salesian Oblates of the Sacred Heart, the Angeline Franciscan Sisters, the Institute of Oblates of Jesus and Mary, and the Daughters of Mary, Sisters of the Pious Schools (Scolopians).
    The following is the address delivered by the Holy Father during the audience:

    Address of the Holy Father
    In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
    Peace be with you.
    Welcome to you all! Let us sit down and reflect together a little.
    Dear brothers and sisters,
    I welcome you with joy on the occasion of your Chapters and Assemblies. I greet the Superiors General, the members of the Councils, and all of you.
    You have gathered to pray, to discuss and to reflect together on what the Lord asks of you for the future. Your Founders and Foundresses, docile to the action of the Holy Spirit, have left you the legacy of various charisms for the edification of the Body of Christ (cf. Eph 4:11-12), and it is precisely so that this may grow according to God’s plans that the Church asks of you the service that you are carrying out (cf. Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, Decree Perfectae caritatis, 4).
    Your respective Institutes embody complementary aspects of the life and action of all the People of God: the offering of self in union with the Sacrifice of Christ, the mission ad gentes, love for the Church preserved and transmitted, the education and formation of the young. These are different ways in which the one and eternal reality that animates them all is expressed in charismatic form: God’s love for humanity.
    As is customary, then, each of your Congregations identified particular angles, in the light of which to reinterpret the legacy received, in order to update and modernize its contents. These pathways of work, which you chose during the time of preparation, in prayer and mutual listening, are also a precious gift insofar as they are the fruit of the Spirit. It is He who, through the contribution of many, under the guidance of the Pastors, “helps the Christian community to advance in charity towards the fullness of truth (cf. Jn 16:13)” (Benedict XVI, Homily at the Holy Mass for the Inauguration of the Fifth General Conference of the Bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean, 13 May 2007). You have thus formulated guidelines that contain fundamental calls: to renew an authentic missionary spirit, to make one’s own the attitude “that is also yours in Christ Jesus” (cf. Phil 2:5), to promote peace, to cultivate pastoral co-responsibility in local churches, and so on. To stay by their side and to remember them together, at this time, helps us to grasp the richness of our being in a community, especially as men and women religious, engaged in the same wonderful adventure of “[following] Christ more nearly” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 916).
    May this renew and confirm in all of us the awareness and the joy of being Church, and in particular spur you, in your discernment in the Chapters, to think on a large scale, as unique pieces of a plan that exceeds you and involves you beyond your own expectations: the plan of salvation with which God wants to bring all of humanity back to himself, as one big family (cf. Francis, General Audience, 29 May 2013). This is the spirit in which your Institutes were born, and this is the perspective in which to place every effort, so that it may contribute, through small lights, to spreading over the whole earth the light of Christ, which never dims (cf. Roman Missal, Easter Precony).
    Dear friends, let us ask the Lord together to be docile to the voice of his Spirit, who “teaches everything” (cf. Jn 14:26), and without whose help, in our weakness, we do not even know how to ask as we ought (cf. Rom 8:26).
    Thank you for your work and for your faithful presence in so many parts of the world. I bless you from my heart, and I pray for you. Thank you!
    Let us pray together:
    [Our Father]
    [Blessing]
    Thank you all!

  • MIL-OSI: Papanicolaou outlines Intesa Sanpaolo’s commitment to rebuilding Ukraine

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Paola Papanicolaou, Head of Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Banks Division

    ROME, July 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, Paola Papanicolaou, Head of Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Banks Division, explained the Group’s concrete commitment to Ukraine’s reconstruction, highlighting the role of Italy’s only banking group operating in the country in supporting recovery efforts through blended finance, ESG principles, and long-term investment.

    Key takeaways:

    • Intesa Sanpaolo, through its subsidiary Pravex Bank – part of the International Banks Division – is the only Italian banking group with an operational presence in Ukraine.
    • In today’s complex geopolitical landscape, prudence is a strategic choice. Intesa Sanpaolo acts responsibly, avoiding excessive risk exposure while remaining ready to support reconstruction with concrete projects as soon as conditions allow.
    • The Group actively collaborates with supranational institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB), contributing to development projects aimed at rebuilding Ukraine.
    • Rebuilding and revitalizing Ukraine’s economy requires both private capital and support from supranational financial institutions, through blended finance mechanisms. In both areas, strong international groups like Intesa Sanpaolo play a key role.
    • Stability and local development are essential. Long-term investors—like Intesa Sanpaolo—invest where conditions allow for sustained presence and growth.
    • Across the nearly 40 countries where Intesa Sanpaolo operates—including 12 countries with commercial banking branch networks—the Group works to create conditions that attract investment and foster economic resilience.
    • Wherever present, the Group promotes inclusive growth, financial education, and ESG-aligned financing. In Ukraine too, the goal is to support not only economic reconstruction but also the long-term sustainable development of local communities.
    • As one of Europe’s leading players in the transition to a low-carbon economy, Intesa Sanpaolo offers dedicated green credit lines for households and businesses, along with a growing portfolio of sustainable products—a model that can also support Ukraine’s future rebuilding efforts.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Chinese Foreign Minister Outlines China’s Position on South China Sea Arbitration Case

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Friday outlined China’s position on the South China Sea (SCS) arbitration case while attending a series of ASEAN Plus foreign ministers’ meetings.

    Wang Yi said the arbitration, initiated unilaterally by the Philippines, lacked the necessary requirement of prior consultations and did not respect the principle of state consent, which is fundamental to arbitration. Thus, there was no legal basis for it to be heard from the outset.

    The move violated the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, which stipulates that disputes should be resolved peacefully through friendly consultations between the parties directly concerned. Wang noted that it also contradicts the Philippines’ commitments under bilateral agreements with China and violates the principle of estoppel under international law.

    The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that although the arbitration had taken various forms, the substance of the Philippines’ claims concerned China’s territorial sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and maritime delimitation issues. Territorial issues are outside the scope of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and China had categorically excluded maritime delimitation from binding arbitration in a statement made in 2006, in line with UNCLOS’s provisions on optional exceptions to the applicability of the UNCLOS.

    According to Wang Yi, of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, only the United States has not acceded to the Convention, while the other four countries, including China, have made similar exclusion statements. The arbitral tribunal has exceeded its mandate and abused the UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism, undermining the rule of law in international maritime affairs and committing acts contrary to the very Convention to which it claimed to adhere.

    Wang Yi stressed that the arbitration tribunal’s decision contained serious factual and legal inaccuracies. In particular, it erroneously classified Taiping Island, the largest naturally formed island in the Nansha Islands with an area of more than 500,000 square meters, as a rock, thereby concluding that no feature in the Nansha Islands could form an exclusive economic zone or continental shelf. The decision contradicts both the facts on the ground and the provisions of UNCLOS. If such a standard were applied worldwide, the existing maritime order would be fundamentally changed, Wang Yi said, questioning whether countries such as the United States and Japan would be willing to give up their maritime claims under this logic.

    According to the minister, it is widely acknowledged that the arbitration and subsequent hoopla were orchestrated and manipulated by forces outside the region to undermine peace in the SCS and further their own interests. More and more countries around the world are coming to understand the nature of this farce.

    China’s position, the Foreign Minister emphasized, is precisely to support the principle of the supremacy of international law and the authority of UNCLOS. Thanks to the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea remains stable, and freedom of navigation and flights is effectively protected.

    China is accelerating consultations with ASEAN countries on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, seeking to create a new atmosphere of peace, cooperation and friendship in the region. Any attempt to stir up trouble or sow discord will fail, the foreign minister said. –0–

    TIANJIN, July 12 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Digital Economic Forum was held in north China’s Tianjin City from Thursday to Friday, with the theme of “New Links of the Digital Economy, Jointly Expanding New Horizons of Cooperation.”

    At the event, participants noted the need to actively promote the interconnectedness of digital infrastructure and jointly expand new space for the development of digital economic cooperation.

    “The digital economy is the Silk Road of the new era, connecting countries through data, not through valleys and deserts as was traditionally the case,” said former Egyptian Minister of Administrative Development and former chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone Ahmed Darwish.

    He said China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and Internet of Things technology solutions are boosting Egypt’s computing infrastructure construction, which will greatly benefit the local digital economy.

    Chen Zhongyue, Chairman of China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd, said that building an efficient, intelligent, green and secure regional network infrastructure will help countries make full use of their resources and better integrate into the global industrial chain, supply chain and value chain to achieve common development.

    “Chinese enterprises are actively involved in the construction of the 5G network and the construction of a “smart city” in Uzbekistan,” said Daniyar Kurbanov, head of the department for the study of historical and cultural heritage and humanitarian research at the International Institute of Central Asian Studies of Uzbekistan.

    He stressed that cooperation between China and other SCO countries is becoming an important benchmark for Central Asian countries in achieving digital transformation.

    Let us recall that the forum, jointly organized by the State Data Administration of the People’s Republic of China and the Tianjin People’s Government, was attended by more than 1,500 guests representing governments, enterprises, universities and think tanks of the SCO member states. -0-

    CHANGCHUN, July 12 (Xinhua) — A regular passenger bus route has recently been launched between Yanji (northeast China’s Jilin Province) and Russia’s Vladivostok.

    The total length of the route is 399.2 km, travel time is 8 hours 50 minutes. Currently, buses depart from Yanji and Vladivostok daily, and in the future the frequency of trips will increase depending on passenger traffic.

    Yanji City, the capital of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (YKAO) in Jilin Province, is located more than 100 km from the border city of Hunchun, located at the junction of the state borders of China, Russia and the DPRK. In recent years, YKAO has become one of the main tourist destinations for residents of the Russian Far East. To meet the needs of tourists, transport companies of YKAO and Primorsky Krai signed an agreement last year to launch the above-mentioned route.

    As it became known, travelers on the new route will enjoy benefits such as customs clearance immediately upon arrival. In order to provide tourists from the two countries with safe and comfortable travel conditions, the Chinese side provides 50-seater luxury buses and charter services using luxury 9-seater minivans. -0-

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    PSV secured the signing of AZ forward Ruben van Bommel on Friday, with the 20-year-old winger signing a contract until mid-2030.

    With a transfer fee around 15 million euros (approximately 17.5 million U.S. dollars), Van Bommel is expected to be the successor to Noa Lang in Eindhoven, who is set to move to Italian champion Napoli.

    Van Bommel is the son of Mark van Bommel, a 79-cap Dutch international and PSV club legend, and the grandson of former Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk. He spent seven years in PSV’s youth academy before transferring to MVV Maastricht in 2020.

    After making his professional debut with MVV in the Dutch first division, he moved to AZ in 2023. During his two seasons in Alkmaar, he scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 73 matches.

    “I am especially driven to develop myself further here and of course to win prizes,” Van Bommel said on the PSV website after signing with the reigning Dutch champion.

  • UN report urges stronger measures to detect AI-driven deepfakes

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Companies must use advanced tools to detect and stamp out misinformation and deepfake content to help counter growing risks of election interference and financial fraud, the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union urged in a report on Friday.

    Deepfakes such as AI-generated images and videos, and audio that convincingly impersonates real people, pose mounting risks, the ITU said in the report released at its “AI for Good Summit” in Geneva.

    The ITU called for robust standards to combat manipulated multimedia and recommended that content distributors such as social media platforms use digital verification tools to authenticate images and videos before sharing.

    “Trust in social media has dropped significantly because people don’t know what’s true and what’s fake,” Bilel Jamoussi, Chief of the Study Groups Department at the ITU’s Standardization Bureau, noted. Combatting deepfakes was a top challenge due to Generative AI’s ability to fabricate realistic multimedia, he said.

    Leonard Rosenthol of Adobe, a digital editing software leader that has been addressing deepfakes since 2019, underscored the importance of establishing the provenance of digital content to help users assess its trustworthiness.

    “We need more of the places where users consume their content to show this information…When you are scrolling through your feeds you want to know: ‘can I trust this image, this video…’” Rosenthol said.

    Dr. Farzaneh Badiei, founder of digital governance research firm Digital Medusa, stressed the importance of a global approach to the problem, given there is currently no single international watchdog focusing on detecting manipulated material.

    “If we have patchworks of standards and solutions, then the harmful deepfake can be more effective,” she told Reuters.

    The ITU is currently developing standards for watermarking videos – which make up 80% of internet traffic – to embed provenance data such as creator identity and timestamps.

    Tomaz Levak, founder of Switzerland-based Umanitek, urged the private sector to proactively implement safety measures and educate users.

    “AI will only get more powerful, faster or smarter… We’ll need to upskill people to make sure that they are not victims of the systems,” he said.

    BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) — More than 600 participants from around the world attended the ministerial meeting of the Global Dialogue of Civilizations held in Beijing on Thursday and Friday.

    Under the theme “Preserving the diversity of human civilizations for world peace and development,” participants in the parallel sub-forums on Friday noted the importance of mutual learning among civilizations.

    They stressed that harnessing the wisdom of different cultures can serve as a powerful catalyst for shared prosperity, as well as the promotion of cultural heritage and innovation.

    Roger T. Ames, a professor at Peking University and the University of Hawaii, noted that dialogue among civilizations offers an alternative to nation-state-oriented geopolitics.

    “Instead of simply being tolerant of other cultures, we must activate our differences to benefit each other,” he said.

    Simon Lichtenberg, founder and chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, stressed that mutual understanding and respect are fundamental to global development. “International exchanges and development require that everyone understands and respects each other,” he said.

    Such views were echoed during the participants’ visits to various cities in China earlier this week. Singh Vikash Kumar, a Hindi language specialist at Beijing Foreign Studies University, expressed admiration for the Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the northwest Chinese city of Dunhuang.

    “This is one of the most important and vibrant stories in the history of Buddhist art. To see it so completely and exquisitely preserved in China is very moving,” he said.

    Moments like these highlight not only the enduring legacy of past civilizations, but also the importance of cultural heritage and innovation in today’s interconnected world – a topic that many experts continued to explore during discussions at the event.

    Dunhuang Academy Director Su Bomin said protecting cultural heritage is important to preserving and transmitting culture. He called for more efforts to deepen research and introduce new technologies.

    “Cultural heritage is how we pay homage to that heritage,” said former Malaysian Senate President Wong Foon Meng, adding that the most powerful innovations often come from deep exploration of cultural heritage, reimagined in a way that resonates with new generations. -0-

    MEXICO CITY, July 11 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday condemned recent U.S. raids targeting migrant workers in farm fields, calling them unfair and damaging to the U.S. economy.
