      BEIJING, July 8 — The UN peacekeeping explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) international training program, jointly organized by the Peacekeeping Affairs Center of China’s Ministry of National Defense and the Chinese PLA Army Engineering University, officially began on Monday in Xuzhou City, east China’s Jiangsu Province. Nearly 20 engineering officers from the armies and air forces of eight countries are participating in the 12-day training program. Instructors of the training include experts from the UN Department of Peace Operations and Chinese specialists. It is the first time that China has organized an international training program specifically for peacekeeping EOD commanders.

      This training fulfills a commitment made by China at the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial 2025 held in May this year. It is also a concrete step by the Chinese military to implement the Global Security Initiative (GSI), promote international military exchanges in the field of explosive ordnance search and disposal, effectively respond to post-conflict explosive threats, and contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

      The training is conducted at the training base of the Chinese PLA Army Engineering University. Featuring the application of advanced technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) in explosive ordnance search and disposal, the training includes theoretical courses on the detection of typical landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and operational standards and case studies related to explosive ordnance search and disposal in peacekeeping mission areas, as well as practical courses on operating multi-functional unmanned mine-clearing vehicles and AI-assisted IED dismantling.

    An exhibition featuring works by the contemporary Chinese artist Li Xiaoke (1944-2021) opened on July 2 at the Xizang Art Museum in Lhasa. The exhibition highlights Li’s profound connection with Xizang, a region he visited 34 times throughout his life, inspiring much of his artworks.

    The art exhibition displays a total of 90 works, comprising 50 ink paintings and 40 prints and will run until Aug. 23. Organized into three thematic sections, “Ink Homeland,” “Traces of the Snowy Land of Xizang” and “Huangshan Mountain: Learning from Nature,” the show comprehensively presents the artist’s focus on Beijing, Xizang and Huangshan Mountain as his primary creative themes.

    Li Xiaoke, the son of the prominent 20th-century Chinese artist Li Keran (1907-1989), was a renowned landscape painter. He studied traditional Chinese landscape painting from a young age, influenced by his artistic family background. His repeated visits to Xizang allowed him to capture the majestic sacred mountains and the lives of the local Xizang people through his brushwork. His works are noted for blending the essence of traditional Chinese painting with modern elements, reflecting his deep insights into life and nature.

    “This exhibition is Li Xiaoke’s way of reporting back to the people of the plateau, showing his understanding and artistic portrayal of contemporary Xizang culture,” said Han Shuli, honorary chairman of the Xizang Federation of Literary and Art Circles. He added that it is also a valuable opportunity for those in Xizang to engage with the artist’s work.

    Xue Liang, head of the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy , highlighted Li’s pioneering efforts in using traditional Chinese ink brush techniques to explore new artistic expressions for the unique landscapes of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. He noted that the exhibition provides a panoramic view of Li’s ink art, from his poetic memories of Beijing, to the misty peaks of Huangshan and his deep affection for Xizang.

    Liu Ying, chairperson of the Li Keran Art Foundation and Li Xiaoke’s widow, reiterated Li’s love for the nature, culture and people of Xizang. She said that Li actively worked to promote Xizang culture throughout his life, and this exhibition not only serves as a report of his artistic contributions but also reflects the Li Keran Art Foundation’s sustained efforts in the preservation and promotion of Xizang’s cultural traditions and artistic growth.

    The exhibition is supported by the China Central Institute for Culture and History , and jointly organized by the China Artists Association , the Xizang Autonomous Region Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Beijing Fine Art Academy . It is undertaken by the Xizang Art Museum, the Xizang Autonomous Region Artists Association and the Li Keran Art Foundation.

    The distributors of “Mountains and Rivers Bearing Witness” announced on Monday that the documentary will open in Chinese theaters on Aug. 15 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-1945) and the World Anti-Fascist War.

    According to the filmmakers, the documentary presents the first panoramic portrayal of China’s 14-year resistance war against Japanese aggression, highlighting the nation’s pivotal role as the Eastern Front during World War II through its sweeping account of the Chinese people’s heroic struggle.

    The film is produced by Huaxia Film Distribution and China Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio (Group). Throughout production, the team behind “Mountains and Rivers Bearing Witness” focused on both historical accuracy and artistic expression, balancing clear historical narrative with the preservation of national spirit. 

    Building upon extensive archival footage, the team used digital restoration techniques and artistic recreation to revive historical memories from sealed records and reconstruct pivotal moments in the Chinese people’s resistance.

    China will release various cultural works to mark the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, according to the State Council Information Office at a press conference in Beijing on June 24. “Mountains and Rivers Bearing Witness” was highlighted at the press event as a major project, alongside the war epic film “Dongji Rescue” and TV series “Our Homeland.”

    The Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was both the first to begin and the longest sustained conflict in the World Anti-Fascist War. With over 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians killed or injured, this 14-year struggle culminated in victory over Japanese aggression and contributed to the complete defeat of global fascism. 

    China has designated Sept. 3 as Victory Day to commemorate Japan’s formal surrender on Sept. 2, 1945.

  • BRICS must amplify voice of Global South: FM Nirmala Sitharaman

    Union Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while attending the BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, underscored the importance of the BRICS grouping in representing the interests of the Global South.

    Highlighting India’s economic resilience, Sitharaman credited strong domestic demand, sound macroeconomic management, and targeted fiscal measures for the country’s robust performance. She also noted that India’s policy response to global trade and financial restrictions has focused on market diversification, infrastructure-led growth, and structural reforms to enhance competitiveness and productivity.

    Calling BRICS a vital platform for promoting inclusive multilateralism, the Finance Minister emphasized that at a time when global institutions face crises of legitimacy and representation, BRICS must lead by example – reinforcing cooperation, pushing for credible reforms, and amplifying the voice of the Global South.

    Sitharaman also stressed that while South-South cooperation is crucial to achieving climate and development goals, the Global South should not be expected to bear the primary burden of climate action. She urged deeper cooperation among BRICS nations on sustainable development.

  • PM Modi set for first Namibia visit by Indian PM in nearly three decades

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a landmark visit to Namibia on July 9, marking the final leg of his five-nation tour and the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to the African nation in nearly three decades.

    The visit is expected to further deepen ties between India and Namibia. The two countries share a historic relationship rooted in India’s steadfast support for Namibia’s independence struggle. India was among the earliest advocates for Namibian freedom, raising the issue at the United Nations as early as 1946 and hosting the first overseas office of the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) in 1986.

    During his stay in the capital, Windhoek, PM Modi will hold bilateral talks with President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and address a joint sitting of Namibia’s Parliament. A key highlight of the visit will be the signing of a technology agreement enabling unified payment interoperability between the two countries, aimed at enhancing cooperation in the fintech and digital sectors, according to a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs.

    Namibia’s rich reserves of uranium, copper, cobalt, rare earth minerals and its recent oil discoveries are drawing renewed global attention. The country is the world’s fourth-largest producer of uranium oxide, which fuels the nuclear industry, and also produces zinc and gem-quality diamonds. With growing global demand for clean energy and battery storage, Namibia’s potential to develop new mining projects for cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements has gained fresh relevance.

    Bilateral trade between the two nations stood at around $814 million in 2023–24, with Indian exports accounting for over half that figure. Indian investments in Namibia are estimated at nearly $800 million, largely in the mining sector, including zinc and diamonds.

    A notable symbol of the trust between the two nations remains the translocation of eight cheetahs from Namibia to India’s Kuno National Park in 2022 — the world’s first intercontinental transfer of a major carnivore species.

    Bilateral relations have continued to strengthen over the years through high-level exchanges, development cooperation and people-to-people contacts. Then President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, paid a State Visit to Namibia in 2016, while Namibia’s President Hage Geingob attended the India–Africa Forum Summit in New Delhi in 2015. PM Modi and President Geingob last met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in 2019.

    In June last year, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visited Namibia, calling on President Geingob and co-chairing the first Joint Commission Meeting. He also inaugurated the India–Namibia Centre for Excellence in Information Technology in Windhoek.

    India continues to extend development assistance and capacity-building support to Namibia through scholarships, defence training programmes and technical cooperation. Indian experts are deputed to Namibian institutions, and an Indian Air Force Technical Team has been training Namibian helicopter pilots since 1996.

    The countries are exploring opportunities to expand cooperation in mining, energy, health, agriculture and infrastructure. Negotiations for a Preferential Trade Arrangement between India and the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), with Namibia as coordinator, are ongoing.

    Cultural ties have also grown steadily, with regular cultural events, yoga sessions and artistic exchanges. Approximately 450 Indians, NRIs and PIOs reside in Namibia today, contributing to business and community initiatives through bodies such as the India–Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the India Namibia Friendship Association.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: UN calls on Taliban to end repressive policies

    Source: United Nations MIL OSI b

    Adopted with 116 votes in favour, 12 abstentions and 2 against (Israel and United States), the resolution highlighted the multifaceted crises confronting Afghanistan nearly four years after the Taliban’s return to power, calling for greater international support for the Afghan people and a renewed push for human rights, peace and stability.

    It emphasised the need for a coherent approach among humanitarian, political and development actors, and raised alarm over the “grave, worsening, widespread and systematic oppression” of all women and girls in Afghanistan, calling on the Taliban to swiftly reverse policies that exclude them from education, employment and public life.

    The text further called for adherence to Afghanistan’s obligations under international law, including human rights and humanitarian principles.

    Security and economic concerns

    The 193-member General Assembly reiterated its “serious concern” over continuing violence and the presence of terrorist groups such as Al-Qaida, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/Da’esh) and their affiliates ISIL-Khorasan and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, and “demanded” that Afghanistan not be used as a safe haven for terrorist activity.

    Beyond security, the resolution stressed Afghanistan’s severe economic collapse, widespread poverty and spiralling humanitarian crisis, urging Member States and donors to scale up principled, sustained assistance.

    It also highlighted the growing threat of natural disasters such as floods and droughts, which worsen food insecurity and economic fragility.

    “Sustainable and lasting peace can be achieved only through long-term social, economic and political stability, which requires full respect for civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights as well as commitment to inclusive and representative governance,” the resolution stated.

    Result of the UN General Assembly vote on the draft resolution on Afghanistan.

    Needs surge amid refugee returns

    The resolution comes at a time of intensified strain on Afghanistan’s overstretched humanitarian system.

    According to UN agencies, waves of returns from Pakistan and Iran – including both refugees and those in refugee-like situations – have increased pressure on services, especially in border provinces ill-equipped to absorb new arrivals.

    These returns, many of them involuntary or under duress, have heightened protection risks and left thousands of families in urgent need of food, shelter and basic services.

    The 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for Afghanistan – which seeks $2.4 billion to assist nearly 17 million people – is only 22 per cent funded as of early July, raising concerns among aid officials about maintaining life-saving programs in the months ahead.

    The resolution called on all donors and stakeholders to “reconsider any decisions that may lead to reductions in such assistance, taking into account the potential adverse humanitarian consequences for the most vulnerable populations.”

    Governance and accountability

    The Assembly also reiterated concern over the lack of political inclusion since the Taliban takeover in August 2021.

    It raised alarm over extrajudicial punishments, such as reprisals and summary executions, enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions, including those targeting former members of the security personnel.

    While the Assembly acknowledged the Taliban’s limited steps to reduce opium cultivation, it stressed the need for comprehensive counter-narcotics measures and efforts to combat organized crime and illicit arms trafficking.

    A call for collective responsibility

    The resolution expressed appreciation to major refugee-hosting countries – particularly Pakistan and Iran – and called for more equitable burden-sharing and international cooperation to support displaced Afghans and the communities that host them.

    It underlined the importance of creating conditions for the safe, dignified and voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons, as well as their sustainable reintegration.

    MOFA response to EU expressing concern over cross-strait status quo during 13th EU-China Strategic Dialogue

    July 3, 2025  

    On July 2, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi cochaired the 13th EU-China Strategic Dialogue in Brussels. When elaborating on Taiwan in a statement issued after the meeting, the European Union reaffirmed its commitment to its “one China policy” and expressed opposition to any unilateral attempts to alter the status quo, including by force or coercion. In addition, the European Union voiced concerns about human rights in China as well as hybrid threats in Europe coming from China.
     
    In response to each of China’s three large-scale military drills targeting Taiwan since May 2024, the European External Action Service (EEAS) promptly issued statements expressing concern. In these statements, the EEAS stressed that peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait were of strategic importance for regional and global security and prosperity and that the European Union had a direct interest in the preservation of the status quo across the Taiwan Strait. The fact that EU High Representative Kallas has once again reiterated this position in a meeting with high-level Chinese officials demonstrates that the European Union pays close attention and attaches great importance to the cross-strait status quo. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) appreciates and welcomes such statements. 
     
    Moving forward, MOFA will continue to strengthen cooperative relations with the European Union and other like-minded partners to jointly safeguard shared values of freedom and democracy, uphold the rules-based international order, preserve the status quo across the Taiwan Strait, and ensure peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

    MOFA response to EU expressing concern over cross-strait status quo during 13th EU-China Strategic Dialogue

    July 3, 2025  

    On July 2, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi cochaired the 13th EU-China Strategic Dialogue in Brussels. When elaborating on Taiwan in a statement issued after the meeting, the European Union reaffirmed its commitment to its “one China policy” and expressed opposition to any unilateral attempts to alter the status quo, including by force or coercion. In addition, the European Union voiced concerns about human rights in China as well as hybrid threats in Europe coming from China.

     

    In response to each of China’s three large-scale military drills targeting Taiwan since May 2024, the European External Action Service (EEAS) promptly issued statements expressing concern. In these statements, the EEAS stressed that peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait were of strategic importance for regional and global security and prosperity and that the European Union had a direct interest in the preservation of the status quo across the Taiwan Strait. The fact that EU High Representative Kallas has once again reiterated this position in a meeting with high-level Chinese officials demonstrates that the European Union pays close attention and attaches great importance to the cross-strait status quo. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) appreciates and welcomes such statements. 

     

    Moving forward, MOFA will continue to strengthen cooperative relations with the European Union and other like-minded partners to jointly safeguard shared values of freedom and democracy, uphold the rules-based international order, preserve the status quo across the Taiwan Strait, and ensure peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Global Financing Shifts to Advance African Coal, Uranium Prospects Ahead of African Mining Week (AMW) 2025

    Source: APO


    .

    As Africa moves to fully harness its coal and uranium resources for economic growth, major shifts in the global financing landscape in 2025 are set to unlock new opportunities across the continent. In June, international finance institution The World Bank lifted its ban on financing nuclear projects – marking its re-entry into the nuclear value chain for the first time since 1965. In May, the U.S. export agency the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) ended its 12-year restriction on funding international coal projects.

    Coal, uranium and investment market trends will take center stage at the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) 2025 – Africa’s premier gathering for mining stakeholders – taking place on October 1 – 3 in Cape Town. The event will feature high-level panel discussions, project showcases and exclusive networking sessions, showcasing how global capital and African leadership are aligning to unlock the potential of coal and uranium value chains for sustainable development.

    Africa’s coal sector has seen notable progress in 2025. In March, South Africa’s Seriti Resources launched the R500 million Naudesbank Colliery in Mpumalanga Province, producing one million tons annually in its first phase. The launch reinforces South Africa’s role as the continent’s leading coal producer. Concurrently, mining company Menar is advancing several coal and anthracite projects with a R7 billion investment plan through 2026, including the Bekezela and Sukuma mines in South Africa’s Gauteng province. The initiatives align with South Africa’s decision to classify coal as a critical mineral due to its economic and strategic importance. Ethiopia is also ramping up exploration, with coal reserves now estimated to exceed one billion tons. At AMW, a panel titled Coal’s Indispensable Role: Powering Africa’s Downstream Processing and Manufacturing Boom will showcase policies and incentives being used by African markets to attract investments across the coal value chain.

    On the uranium front, the World Bank’s ban reversal offers renewed access to international financing – creating a pathway for expansion in Africa’s uranium-rich countries. Several projects have gained momentum in 2025. Lotus Resources is progressing with its 3-million-pound-per-year Letlhakane Uranium Project in Botswana, as well as the Kayelekera Mine in Malawi. In Tanzania, Moab Minerals secured a $500,000 investment from European Lithium for its Manyoni Uranium Project. Meanwhile, GoviEx Uranium is advancing development of its Muntanga Project in Zambia, with an expected annual output of 2.2 million pounds. Additionally, countries including Namibia, Mali, Ghana, Senegal, the Republic of Congo and Kenya have signed agreements to develop nuclear energy programs, underlining Africa’s growing focus to leverage its vast uranium resources for energy resilience. The continent’s biggest uranium producers Niger and Namibia also have several new and expansion projects underway.

    These milestones represent a new era of investment potential across Africa’s coal and uranium industries, with African Mining Week 2025 serving as a key platform for governments, investors and industry stakeholders to collaborate and catalyze long-term growth.

    About African Mining Week:
    African Mining Week serves as a premier platform for exploring the full spectrum of mining opportunities across Africa. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025 conference from October 1-3 in Cape Town.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Adjustment Fund Credit Fund closes its first deal – US$ 10 million investment in Telecel Global Services Ltd

    Source: APO


    .

    The Credit Fund of the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund has successfully closed its first investment, committing US$10 million to Telecel Global Services Ltd, through a senior secured amortising loan. The transaction marks a significant milestone in the operationalisation of the Fund.

    The Credit Fund is one of three Funds under the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund, established by the AfCFTA Secretariat and African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to provide targeted  transitional support to AfCFTA State Parties  and private sector entities as they adjust to the requirements and opportunities presented by the AfCFTA Agreement.

    Telecel Global Services, a subsidiary of the Mauritius-based Telecel Group, provides wholesale voice and SMS services and enterprise connectivity solutions to more than 250 telecom operators across Africa and globally. With digital connectivity being at the heart of the trade and economic integration and success of the AfCFTA, this facility will support Telecel’s expansion in Ghana and Liberia, strengthen its infrastructure, and contribute to bridging Africa’s digital divide through enhanced connectivity and digital inclusion. By investing in digital infrastructure in underserved markets, the Fund is helping reduce trade barriers, foster cross-boarder productivity and accelerate  inclusive industrialisation.

    Mr. Jean-Louis Ekra, Chairman of the Board of the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund Corporation, stated: “ The closing of our first deal marks a historic milestone for the Credit Fund and the broader vision of the AfCFTA. This US$10 million investment in Telecel Global Services is a clear demonstration of how targeted capital can drive meaningful impact—accelerating digital connectivity, enabling intra-African trade, and supporting private sector-led development in priority sectors. It is our commitment to ensure that such investments continue to bridge critical gaps, stimulate economic resilience, and unlock Africa’s vast potential.”

    H.E. Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General of the AfCFTA Secretariat, noted: “This transaction demonstrates how the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund is beginning to serve its intended purpose – supporting State Parties and the private sector as we work to make this Agreement commercially meaningful. By investing in digital infrastructure, we are addressing some of the most critical enablers of trade facilitation, industrialisation, and regional value chain development.”

    Prof. Benedict Oramah, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Afreximbank, added: “Today, we make another bold statement of our unwavering intent to ensure that Africans reap the benefits of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. We are proud to have commenced the operationalisation of the Credit Fund. With this Fund, we will provide vital support to African corporates, helping them retool and expand their operations necessary to capitalise on the AfCFTA opportunities. The investment strengthens a critical enabler, the digital economy and regional connectivity, while reinforcing our long-term commitment to transforming the structure of the African economy. .”

    Marlene Ngoyi, CEO, FEDA, the Fund Manager of the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund, said: “This investment exemplifies the strategic intent of the Credit Fund – to catalyse growth and resilience in sectors that are vital for Africa’s structural transformation. We are proud to partner with Telecel, whose operations directly advance intra-African connectivity and digital trade.”

    The Credit Fund will continue to prioritise commercially viable investments that enable trade, support diversification, and promote inclusive growth in line with the broader AfCFTA implementation agenda.

    Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Afreximbank.

    About the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund:
    The AfCFTA Adjustment Fund consists of three sub-Funds namely, the Base Fund, the General Fund, and the Credit Fund. The Base Fund will utilise contributions from AfCFTA State Parties as well as grants and technical assistance to address tariff revenue losses that would result from the implementation of the AfCFTA Agreement. The General Fund will finance the development of trade enabling infrastructure while the Credit Fund will be used to mobilise commercial funding to support both the public and private sectors enabling them to adjust and take advantage of the opportunities created by the AfCFTA.

     About the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA):
    The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is one of the flagship projects of Agenda 2063: “The Africa We Want” and entered into force on 30 May 2019. It is a high ambition trade Agreement, which aims to bring together all 55 Member States of the African Union, covering a market of more than 1.3 billion people, with a comprehensive scope that includes critical areas of Africa’s economy, such as digital trade and investment protection, amongst other areas. By eliminating barriers to trade in Africa, the objective of the AfCFTA is to significantly boost intra-Africa trade, particularly trade in value-added production and trade across all services sectors of Africa’s economy, at a potential of 52.3 percent.

    About FEDA:
    The Fund for Export Development in Africa (“FEDA”) is the impacting investing subsidiary of Afreximbank, set up to provide equity, quasi-equity, and debt capital to finance the multi-billion-dollar funding gap (particularly in equity) needed to transform the Trade sector in Africa.

    FEDA pursues a multi-sector investment strategy along the intra-African trade, value-added export development, and manufacturing value chain which includes financial services, technology, consumer and retail goods, manufacturing, transport & logistics, agribusiness, as well as ancillary trade enabling infrastructure such as industrial parks.

    SEOUL, July 8 (Xinhua) — The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of the Republic of Korea (ROK) said Tuesday it will make efforts to reach a mutually beneficial trade deal with the United States after U.S. President Donald Trump effectively delayed the imposition of new tariffs on South Korean products.

    The ministry said in a statement that Seoul has been actively negotiating since the inauguration of the new government led by President Lee Jae-myung on June 4, guided by the principle of prioritizing national interests.

    The ministry noted that there is not enough time to reach an agreement on all issues, considering D. Trump’s letter to be a de facto postponement of the introduction of “equivalent” tariffs on South Korean products.

    The ministry promised to step up efforts to achieve mutually beneficial results in the remaining period of negotiations to quickly resolve tariff-related uncertainties, adding that Kazakhstan will address the trade deficit that worries the US by improving domestic rules and streamlining regulations.

    According to the statement, the ministry will seek to create an opportunity for a breakthrough in key industries through partnership between the two countries to revive manufacturing.

    In his letter to the South Korean leader, published on the social network Truth Social, D. Trump said that the two countries must abandon the long-term and permanent trade deficit caused by tariffs, non-tariff policies and trade barriers on the part of the Republic of Korea. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Integration of education and production: SPbPU students defended their final work at Power Machines

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Students of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU defended a comprehensive final qualification work in the format of “Final Qualification Work as a Project” to solve real production and management problems of the customer – JSC “Power Machines”.

    Three students majoring in Management, International Logistics, divided the tasks among themselves as follows: Darya Snigireva considered the issues of developing fast purchases through the implementation and adaptation of marketplaces, and Maria Shapova dealt with illiquid assets: working with unloading, organizing unscheduled inventories, creating a pricing system. Both girls were advised by Nikita Lukashevich, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management. Yana Salangina took on the transformation of the enterprise’s warehouse accounting and the development of recommendations for improving the management of the warehouse complex (consultant – Zoya Simakova, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management).

    The main task of the student of the “Trade” direction, profile “Logistics systems in trade”, Ekaterina Rakcheeva was to develop a procurement training system and fill the “Knowledge Base” of the enterprise. Ekaterina was advised by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Service and Trade Irina Kapustina. The overall assessment of the effectiveness of the developed activities was made by a student of the “Economics” direction, profile “Economics and management at the enterprise”, Anna Myasnikova (consultant – Professor of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics Svetlana Suloeva). The project was supervised by Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Industrial Management, the ideologist of the implementation of the complex final qualifying work on the part of the Polytechnic University Egor Temirgaliev.

    The meeting of the State Examination Committee was held on the premises of the Leningrad Metal Plant of JSC Power Machines. The State Examination Committee was headed by the Director for Development of General Industrial Suppliers of Power Machines, Evgeniya Khmel. The SEC also included representatives of the customer and the university.

    The result of the students’ work was a set of measures that optimize production and management processes at the enterprise. In particular, recommendations for improving the purchasing activities of Power Machines through the implementation of an industrial marketplace make it possible to reduce the duration of the purchasing process. The proposed automation of contractual activities through the development of a template for filling out a contract reduces the time of the purchasing manager. Due to the developed recommendations for improving warehouse operations through the implementation of barcoding, as well as the implementation of an automated warehouse complex management system, the time for performing warehouse operations is reduced, the accuracy of accounting and the throughput of the warehouse are increased.

    During the defense, the members of the State Examination Commission asked many questions, touching on their areas of professional interest. As a result, the commission rated the work as excellent.

    After the results were announced, the chairperson of the State Examination Commission, Evgeniya Khmel, summed up the defense: On the customer’s side, we make fairly high demands on students both during the pre-graduation internship and writing of the work, and during the defense itself. It is very important for us that the tasks that we set for students at the beginning of their journey find application in our business after the defense of the diploma. I can say that the team did a great job!

    This is already the third project successfully implemented by IPMET students for Power Machines. Last year, the Polytechnicians defended a comprehensive final qualifying work commissioned by Power Machines – Leningrad Metal Plant on the topic of transforming the purchasing activities of an industrial enterprise in order to reduce slow-turnover inventories, and in 2023 worked on the project “Harmonization of production needs with the provision of components and materials” by order of “Power Machines” – the “Elektrosila” plant.

    We attach great importance to the preparation of comprehensive final qualification works created by order of industrial enterprises of St. Petersburg. In this way, we solve a dual task: on the one hand, we help the enterprise to take a new look at production and management processes, on the other hand, we prepare young qualified specialists for our strategic partner, the Power Machines company, who, while still students, successfully completed pre-graduation practice, then wrote a diploma work and, most importantly, became employees of this enterprise, – commented the director of IPMEiT Vladimir Shchepinin.

  • Sourav Ganguly turns 53, BCCI extends greetings to ex-cricketer

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Former India captain Sourav Ganguly turned 53 on Tuesday, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) marked the occasion by extending warm birthday wishes to its former president.

    Ganguly made his international debut in an ODI against the West Indies during the 1992 Benson & Hedges World Series and went on to serve Indian cricket for 16 years.

    The elegant left-handed batter is widely regarded as one of India’s greatest cricketers, particularly in the One-Day International (ODI) format. In a career that left an indelible mark on Indian cricket, Ganguly scored 7,212 runs in 113 Test matches at an average of 42.17, including 16 centuries. In ODIs, he amassed 11,363 runs in 311 matches at an average of 41.02, registering 22 centuries.

    “424 international matches, 18,575 international runs, 38 international centuries. Here’s wishing former #TeamIndia Captain and former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly a very Happy Birthday,” the BCCI posted on X.

    Responding to the post, Ganguly said: “Thank you BCCI… the best sporting organisation in the world.”

    Sourav Ganguly is also remembered as one of India’s most influential and successful captains. Taking over the reins in 2000, he led India in 49 Tests and 146 ODIs, securing 21 and 76 wins respectively. Under his leadership, the Indian team began to achieve notable success overseas in Test cricket and reached the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2003.

    A hallmark of Ganguly’s captaincy was his ability to identify and back a generation of talented cricketers who went on to become match-winners for India.

    Among his many achievements, Ganguly is one of only eight Indian players to have scored over 7,000 Test runs and ranks ninth in terms of Test centuries for India, with 16 to his name. In ODIs, he remains the eighth-highest run-scorer globally and is among a select group of 14 players to surpass the 10,000-run milestone.

    Ganguly holds the record for the highest individual score by an Indian in a World Cup match – a blazing 183 against Sri Lanka in 1999. He was also the first player to score three centuries in a single World Cup edition (2003) and recorded three hundreds in the ICC Champions Trophy across the 2000 and 2002 editions.

    Following his retirement from international cricket, Ganguly transitioned into administration. After serving as President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (2015–2019), he was unanimously elected as President of the BCCI, holding office from 2019 to 2022.

    New UK support to power green growth at home while tackling climate change abroad

    Senior Cabinet ministers meet City of London leaders as Foreign Secretary announces new climate support

    • Foreign Secretary announces new funding to make it easier for countries to access UK private sector climate finance and disaster risk insurance, driving UK green growth.

    • Support comes as senior Cabinet ministers meet City of London leaders to discuss UK financial sector’s role in boosting sustainable finance for emerging markets and developing economies.

    • David Lammy to set out the economic opportunity for the UK and the City of London, in line with the government’s Plan for Change—with emerging markets expected to drive 65% of global growth by 2035.

    New support will help millions of people globally deal with the daily impact of climate change, the Foreign Secretary David Lammy has today announced (Tuesday 8 July).

    A £12m commitment for disaster relief finance and insurance will help climate-vulnerable countries better prepare for the impact of disasters like hurricanes and drought. 

    This funding is triggered by certain warning signs—such as a weather event or forecast—to enable faster payouts and a more effective response.

    Backed by the UK financial sector, this will also help drive domestic green growth and unlock jobs, opportunity and security for people in the UK.

    This new funding comes as Cabinet Ministers from the Treasury, Foreign Office, DESNZ and DEFRA will today meet leaders from the financial sector. They will collectively discuss how to champion UK-based investors and financial institutions to channel investment into climate initiatives in emerging markets.

    Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:

    The climate and nature crisis is the greatest global challenge we face. Failure to act will cause unprecedented environmental damage, fuelling displacement, conflict and famine.

    Tackling this crisis is also a huge opportunity for people and businesses here in the UK, delivering on our Plan for Change. The green sector is worth trillions of pounds, and I’m determined that we seize the economic growth, jobs and security it offers.

    The City of London, the world’s leading sustainable development financing hub, has a crucial role to play in this.

    Today’s measures, in support of the UK government’s Plan for Change, will help unlock sustainable finance from the UK and elsewhere, and ensure developing countries can better manage climate shocks themselves.

    This effort will help foster sustainable growth and protect the most climate vulnerable nations. Global climate investment is increasing rapidly, hitting $2.1 trillion last year, and the government sees the City of London in a prime position to capitalise on this opportunity.

    Last year the UK’s green sector grew three times faster than the economy as a whole, attracting £43bn of private investment. With London ranked as the world’s top sustainable finance centre, the UK is uniquely positioned to grow this industry further by helping to unlock finance for emerging markets that will drive 65% of global growth by 2035.

    The £12 million for pre-arranged finance will cut the cost of responding to disasters and accelerate the time it takes them to recover from such shocks.

    This follows the UK launching a global coalition with its partners last week, to scale up pre-arranged finance tenfold by 2035, alongside a coalition to drive greater investment for developing economies through public markets. This was announced by the Minister for Development Baroness Chapman at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development in Sevilla, Spain.

    The Foreign Secretary is also today announcing that the UK’s Financial Services Centre of Expertise will help financial regulators across ASEAN access expertise from the Financial Conduct Authority. The initiative will focus on regulatory alignment across ASEAN markets to deliver green growth opportunities for UK investors. 

    BACKGROUND:

    • It’s the first time multiple cabinet ministers will be attending a meeting with leaders from the City of London together, signalling a growth opportunity on climate action.
    • The UK will be first country to annually publish pre-arranged finance as a percentage of overall crisis finance spending, with the aspiration of increasing this over time.
