    TIANJIN, June 6 (Xinhua) — China’s vehicle trade-in subsidies are accelerating the adoption of new energy vehicles (NEVs), with the monthly penetration rate of NEVs in the passenger car market expected to exceed 60 percent in 2025, according to a report released Friday by Automotive Data of China (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.

    The report, compiled jointly by the company and automotive information, trading and service platform Dongchedi (DCar), noted that more than 70 percent of consumers surveyed said the subsidies had increased their intentions to purchase a car.

    In the first quarter of 2025, the volume of light-duty vehicle purchases under trade-in programs in China reached 2.79 million units, up more than 1 million units from the same period last year. The report also noted that the volume of vehicle purchases under the vehicle-exchange program exceeded that of the scrappage program, reaching 2.03 million units.

    A survey conducted by Dongchedi found that consumers prefer subsidies for new car purchases and replacements through trade-in programs with lower participation thresholds. As subsidies become more widespread, applying for them before buying a car has become a common practice among consumers, with more than 50 percent relying on offline 4S stores to obtain information about subsidies, the report said. -0-

    Three groups, more than 100 students, successfully completed the MBA program. Over a year and a half, they completed 16 educational modules, including two on-site ones: to China and to Lake Baikal. The 2025 graduates include entrepreneurs, founders of successful businesses, and top managers of leading Russian companies: Sber, VTB, Rostelecom, NOVATEK, Rosatom, Yandex.Technologies, Almaz-Antey Concern, SKB Kontur, Belkacar, SONET Group, and others.

    Volkov Dmitry Leonidovich

    First Deputy Director of the Higher School of Business

    “The MBA program not only provides knowledge, but also strong networking in the leadership community; for a modern entrepreneur and top manager, it is extremely important to remain in the educational environment and continue learning throughout life.”

    The updated MBA program of the HSE Graduate School of Business covers key areas of modern management: from strategic management and corporate finance to marketing, operations management and innovation, including the use of AI in business.

    All graduates note an important advantage of the HSE Graduate School of Business: a very strong team of teachers, which unites both practitioners, leaders of successful businesses, and outstanding representatives of academic science from across the HSE University.

    Positioning itself as a first-choice business school, HSE has invested a lot of effort into developing its MBA program, including innovative educational formats: business simulations, interactive projects, group assignments to develop practical skills and networking among program students.

    The hallmarks of the MBA program at the Higher School of Business at the National Research University Higher School of Economics are effective on-site modules. The leadership intensive is traditionally held on Lake Baikal and is aimed at developing team management skills, crisis management, and the ability to make decisions under stress and in situations of uncertainty.

    And the recent overseas module was organized jointly with Fudan University, one of the leading centers of business education in Asia. The university is among the best universities in China and Asia, widely recognized for its high level of teaching, quality of scientific research and international programs in the field of economics and management. The overseas modules are the leaders in the most positive feedback from the program participants.

    The final part of the program was the defense of final projects. Participants presented solutions for a wide range of industries: from energy and tourism to industrial production and digital services. Among the initiatives: development of a new data management product, launch and development of a business community, a service for generating income from excess energy capacity, a strategy for bringing self-propelled electric lifts to market.

    The graduation ceremony took place at the HSE campus. The graduates were congratulated by the program teachers and the business school management.

    Koptsev Vladimir Sergeevich

    Head of the MBA program at the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics

    “Our program is an intensive path of personal and professional transformation. We see how students change over the course of a year and a half: their confidence grows, their horizons expand, their ability to make strategic decisions strengthens. It is especially valuable that they leave the program with a clear understanding of their role in business and with a readiness for new challenges.”

    During their studies, participants not only expanded their professional horizons, but also built new strong horizontal connections—the alumni community remains one of the program’s key resources.

    Ekaterina Artemenkova

    Director of the Financial Department, Insurance Company “Guardia”

    “I asked my classmates to name three associations with the program and collected them in a word cloud. The most frequent word turned out to be unexpected, but very accurate – “pleasure”. In the program, we learned to enjoy studying, communicating, challenges. And, perhaps, the main thing we learned was the ability to maintain inner calm in the most stressful situations and to see opportunities even in difficulties.”

    Andrey Dementyev

    Founder of the family project “Elephant Park” in Sochi

    “Over these one and a half years, we have not only mastered the tools of strategic management, Agile and financial analysis – we have learned to see value in people, in the team, in the environment. We have learned from each other, admired, supported – and it is in this atmosphere that ideas, projects and a real team are born.”

    Olga Komleva

    Director of IT Solutions Department, SONET Group of Companies

    “This morning, when I was driving to the airport, I was thinking that this is my last trip as part of the MBA program. It is a warm sadness and great pride at the same time. We have gained knowledge, found friends, and most importantly, made the right choice by coming here. I would like to wish everyone not to lose interest, to study and move forward.”

    The graduation of the HSE Graduate School of Business MBA program has become a significant contribution to the preparation of innovative responsible leaders who change organizations and the world.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Executive Board Concludes 2025 Article IV Consultation with Spain

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    June 6, 2025

    • The Spanish economy has been performing strongly, supported by services exports and labor force growth. Growth is expected to remain significantly above the euro area average in the near term, before slowing gradually as its recent drivers normalize and demographic aging intensifies. Most risks are to the downside, including from a further escalation of trade measures and domestic political fragmentation.
    • The authorities should seize the growth momentum to more swiftly rebuild fiscal space and reduce sovereign debt risks through a clearer consolidation strategy grounded in well-identified tax increase and spending reduction priorities. Additional measures should also be taken to address fiscal pressures from rising future pension expenditures, and to improve the pension system’s safeguard clause.
    • Raising productivity is key to boosting income per capita gains, which have been modest since the pandemic. This should be achieved through a new wave of reforms to facilitate firms’ scaling-up and strengthen innovation.

    Washington, DC: The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the Article IV Consultation for Spain.[1] The authorities have consented to the publication of the Staff Report prepared for this consultation.[2]

    With a growth rate of 3.2 percent in 2024, Spain has been one of the fastest-growing economies in the euro area. Growth has been fueled by robust services exports and labor force growth, including due to immigration. Because high GDP growth has been accompanied by high employment growth, GDP per capita gains have been more modest. Despite recent progress, Spain still has one of the lowest employment rates in Europe, and a persistent gap in (hourly labor) productivity vis-à-vis the euro area and—even more so—the US.

    Growth is projected to reach 2.5 percent in 2025 before slowing to 1.8 percent in 2026 as export and working-age population gains normalize. Growth will be primarily supported by private domestic demand, including due to a decline in the household saving rate and a pickup in investment. Inflation is projected to decline further and return close to the ECB’s target by end-2025.

    Executive Board Assessment[3]

    The Spanish economy has continued to outperform the euro area but per-capita income gains have been more modest. Two major drivers of Spain’s strong growth have been, on the supply side, labor force growth, and on the demand side, services exports. Labor force growth has particularly benefitted from recent migration inflows, which have risen sharply above pre-pandemic levels. Services exports have been fueled by the strong post-COVID recovery in tourism, but also by improvements in the performance of Spanish exporters in non-tourism services. Amid strong exports and still subdued imports, the external position in 2024 is preliminarily assessed to be stronger than implied by medium-term fundamentals and desirable policies. Because high GDP growth has been accompanied by high employment growth, GDP per capita gains have been more modest. Still, Spain reduced its per-capita income gap vis-à-vis the highest-income euro area economies by over 3 percentage points during 2022-24, helped by an acceleration in productivity growth. Despite recent progress in reducing the unemployment rate, it remains the highest in the euro area at about 11 percent. Looking through recent volatility, disinflation has continued to proceed steadily.

    Growth is projected to remain robust in the near term and to slow gradually thereafter as its recent drivers normalize, with risks predominantly to the downside. Growth should remain strong at 2.5 percent in 2025 before declining to about 1.8 percent next year, close to its medium-term potential. On the demand side, tourism is expected to expand at a slower rate, while a weaker global environment—including elevated trade policy uncertainty and US tariffs—will also weigh on external demand. This drag is expected to be partly offset by robust domestic demand, including a pick-up in investment. On the supply side, a gradual slowdown in net migration and demographic aging will slowly weigh on labor force gains. Key downside risks include an escalation of trade measures, particularly those involving the EU, and domestic political fragmentation, which could hamper the response of fiscal policy in the event Spain’s deficit reduction fell short of its commitments or market concerns about sovereign risks were to emerge.

    The authorities should seize upon the strong growth momentum to more swiftly rebuild fiscal space and reduce sovereign debt risks, in the context of an enhanced medium-term fiscal plan. Staff projects that, in the absence of further consolidation measures besides social security contribution increases from the 2021-2023 pension reforms and the non-indexation of PIT brackets (about 1 percent of GDP overall over 2025-29), the deficit would stabilize above 2 percent of GDP by 2030, while the debt-to-GDP ratio would remain above 90 percent before rising again in the longer term as fiscal pressures from aging intensify. Weighing fiscal risks on the one hand, and the economy’s strong cyclical position on the other, staff recommends frontloading the authorities’ planned 3 percent of GDP adjustment over 2025-2029 rather than 2025-2031. This effort, which would require about 2 percentage points of GDP in new measures, should be underpinned by an enhanced medium-term fiscal plan that lays out well-identified tax increase and spending reduction priorities. Harmonizing VAT and enhancing environmental taxation would deliver the recommended effort while reducing economic distortions. Given the widening projected gap between pension expenditures and social security contributions over the coming decades, pension reforms should also be undertaken, prioritizing employment-friendly options. Should downside risks materialize, fiscal policy should remain flexible, letting automatic stabilizers play out. Temporary discretionary support should be considered only in the event of a severe shock and provided sovereign funding costs remain low.

    Systemic risks in the financial system remain low but ongoing efforts to further bolster its resilience should be maintained. Banks are well-capitalized, liquid, and profitable, though capital ratios are still somewhat below euro area peers. Household and corporate balance sheets are sound, supported by low debt and rising incomes. The rapid growth in house prices has eroded affordability and should be primarily addressed through measures that stimulate housing supply. While it does currently not raise financial stability risks, pre-emptive borrower-based measures should be considered if there were early signs of an easing in lending standards. Staff supports the ongoing phasing-in of the one-percent positive neutral CCyB and encourages continued implementation of other 2024 FSAP recommendations to further enhance resilience.

    Fostering income-per-capita convergence toward higher-income advanced economies requires further raising the employment rate and boosting productivity. Despite recent progress, Spain still has one of the lowest employment rates in Europe, and its (hourly labor) productivity gap vis-à-vis the euro area—which has itself been falling behind the US—remains about as wide as it was 25 years ago. Enhancing activation policies and financial incentives for jobseekers is key to durably reducing unemployment to single digits. The planned reduction of the working week in the private sector should be carefully designed to mitigate adverse effects on output and workers’ incomes, with a major role for collective bargaining including in setting the level and remuneration of overtime. Closing the productivity gap will require reforms that facilitate firms’ scaling-up and innovation. These include completing both the Spanish and EU single markets for goods and services, streamlining firm size-related tax and regulatory thresholds, boosting venture capital through progress toward the CMU complemented by domestic incentives, and promoting excellence in higher education—including through greater autonomy and performance-based funding of universities.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: SCO Youth Representatives Visit Yucun Village in Zhejiang Province

    HANGZHOU, June 6 (Xinhua) — Young representatives of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries visited Yucun Village in Anji County, east China’s Zhejiang Province, on Wednesday.

    This small mountain village, widely known for its concept of “emerald waters and green mountains are priceless treasures”, is now becoming an important window for the exchange of eco-civilization construction experiences between China and foreign countries.

    Young representatives of political, academic and media circles from Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and other countries gathered together to participate in the event organized by the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAF) and entitled “Exploring the Path of Common Prosperity”.

    At the entrance to Yucun Village, they stopped to capture the clean, quiet streets and picturesquely located rural houses.

    Yucun used to live off stone mining, which led to the exposure of the mountain slopes and soil erosion. Guided by the concept of “emerald waters and green mountains are priceless treasures,” the villagers voluntarily abandoned the old way of “digging mountains and selling stone” and embarked on a new path that prioritizes ecology and green development.

    Since 2005, Yucun has been actively developing new forms of economy such as rural tourism and creative agriculture.

    In 2024, the total operating income of the village reached 11.316 million yuan. Anji County also established a county-level platform for purchasing and trading bamboo forest carbon credits, which increased the annual trading volume of carbon credits to 350 thousand tons, bringing long-term benefits to farmers.

    The guide, using an old photograph and a new panorama of the village as a basis, told the young guests in detail about the path of transformation of the village. At the foot of the green mountains, surrounded by greenery, the youth listened, asked questions, trying to catch the pulse of green development.

    “This path has similarities with the development of some mountainous areas in our country,” said the young man from Uzbekistan. In recent years, Uzbekistan has also been exploring new models for integrating ecotourism and traditional agriculture, and Yucun’s experience here could not have come at a better time.

    Entering the Anji County Exhibition Center of “Replacing Plastic with Bamboo”, young people looked closely at the exquisite bamboo products: disposable straws, biodegradable chopsticks, bamboo fiber clothing… Everywhere, greenery and ingenious design made people linger, tradition intertwined with modernity, and the green concept organically intertwined with daily life.

    The delegation also visited green industry projects such as local guest houses, residential complexes for young highly qualified personnel, and a tourist center.

    In recent years, China’s cooperation with SCO countries in areas such as ecological agriculture, clean energy and environmental management has been expanding. From green industry to green finance, from environmental training to policy dialogue, “green” has become an important link in the exchange of experience and mutual learning between China and other countries. -0-

    BEIJING, June 6 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Canada in the spirit of looking to the future to push forward the steady improvement of bilateral relations, lead them to the track of healthy and sustainable development, and pursue win-win cooperation, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said Friday.

    In a telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, initiated by the latter, Li Qiang noted that Canada was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. For a long time, these bilateral relations were at the forefront of China’s relations with Western countries, but in recent years they have encountered serious difficulties, he added.

    The development of China and Canada presents opportunities rather than threats to each other, Li Qiang said, noting that there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the countries, only a tradition of friendship and mutual benefit.

    The Premier expressed hope that the Canadian side will make joint efforts with China, objectively and rationally assess China’s development, and work together to achieve common success and prosperity.

    According to Li Qiang, China-Canada cooperation has great potential as the two countries’ economies complement each other to a great extent. He called on both sides to deepen cooperation in traditional areas, expand cooperation in new areas such as green energy, climate change and scientific and technological innovation, and strengthen people-to-people, economic and trade exchanges.

    The Chinese Premier called on the governments of both countries to listen to the opinions of their peoples, respond to their concerns and do more to strengthen bilateral friendly cooperation, mutual understanding and trust.

    China is willing to cooperate with Canada on the basis of equality and mutual respect, seek and expand common ground while eliminating and narrowing differences, strengthen exchanges and dialogue in various fields, and give due consideration to each other’s concerns, Li Qiang said.

    He also noted that China is willing to work with Canada to jointly safeguard multilateralism and free trade, promote economic globalization and the development of the multilateral trading system in the right direction, and bring greater stability to the world and development of the planet.

    In turn, M. Carney said that Canada and China are linked by deep traditional friendship, and China is Canada’s second largest trading partner. According to him, although bilateral relations have experienced some difficulties in recent years, Canada is ready to resume ties with China.

    The Canadian side looks forward to resuming high-level exchanges and dialogue mechanisms in areas such as diplomacy, economics and trade, as well as strengthening pragmatic cooperation in trade, agriculture, energy and environmental protection, the Canadian prime minister added.

    In light of the current international situation, Canada stands ready to strengthen ties and coordination with China, jointly safeguard the international financial and trading system, and contribute to global sustainable development, said M. Carney. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Grigorenko: Agreement on the Elimination of Violations – a New Instrument in Control Activities

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Document

    Resolution of May 31, 2025 No. 829

    Commercial and government organizations may enter into agreements with regulatory authorities on the proper elimination of identified violations. From the moment the agreement is concluded, the order to eliminate the identified violation is suspended. The corresponding resolution was signed by the Government. This instrument is aimed at reducing the administrative burden on business as part of improving control and supervisory activities under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

    The organizations that may apply for the conclusion of an agreement include government agencies, local government bodies, state and municipal institutions, as well as city-forming and strategic enterprises, defense industry organizations, enterprises in the housing and utilities sector, energy, communications, transport, agriculture, and pharmaceutical production.

    Applications from organizations will be considered only for those types of supervision where the controlled entities are primarily organizations of strategic or high socio-economic importance. The effect of the resolution extends to eight types of control:

    — federal state supervision in the field of industrial safety,

    — Federal State Energy Supervision,

    — federal state supervision in the field of safety of hydraulic structures,

    — Federal State Mining Supervision,

    — federal state environmental control (supervision),

    — federal state geological control (supervision),

    — federal state land control (supervision);

    — federal state licensing control of activities related to the production of medicines.

    “The mechanism of agreements will prevent situations when administrative liability for a detected violation may lead to a halt in production, staff reductions, or a reduction in the output of socially significant products. Control authorities must accommodate organizations and build partnerships with them. Especially if eliminating violations requires significant financial and time costs, or the allocation of additional budget funds,” commented Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

    To conclude an agreement, organizations develop a draft program for eliminating the identified violations and provide documents confirming that significant time, material costs and capital investments are needed to eliminate the violations. This must be done within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the order.

    The signed agreement is being coordinated with the prosecutor’s office.

    If an agreement is concluded and comes into force, the order regarding the identified violations of mandatory requirements is suspended; after their elimination, the controlled person is not subject to administrative liability.

    Applications can be submitted for violations identified since June 1, 2025. Applications will be denied for those that pose a direct threat to human life and health. For example, if we are talking about corrosion or partial destruction of power line supports, which can lead to collapse, line breakage and, as a result, mass power outages.

    This resolution was developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and adopted in pursuance of the amendments to the Federal Law “On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation” that came into force in 2025.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: Rules for the preparation of standard design documentation have been established

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a resolution approving the rules for preparing project documentation for repeated use (standard project documentation), which establishes, among other things, the specifics of the composition of its sections and the requirements for its content, as well as the specifics of the examination of such documentation.

    “Standard design is an important tool for high-quality construction. The adoption of the relevant resolution will create an effective system for the development and use of standard design documentation. The use of standard designs allows us to reduce construction time by at least six months, since there is no need to develop design and working documentation from scratch. Thus, people receive the necessary schools, kindergartens, hospitals and other socially significant facilities faster. In addition, the use of proven solutions ensures cost savings, a high level of reliability of facilities, minimizes errors and simplifies the approval process. The development of a series of standard designs is planned to begin in 2026, and it will begin with schools. This will be the first step in a large-scale program for the typification of social infrastructure throughout the country,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that changes providing for the procedure for developing standard design documentation were introduced into the Urban Development Code in 2024.

    Series of standard projects will provide up-to-date technical solutions that comply with all established sanitary-epidemiological, fire and other mandatory safety requirements, as well as the most advantageous in terms of functional, technical and economic indicators.

    In addition, such series of standard projects of social facilities will be created for all climatic and seismic regions of the country.

    “The standard design documentation provides for the most relevant technical solutions that allow achieving the functional, technical and economic indicators of capital construction projects at the lowest cost. The Ministry of Construction of Russia pays special attention to the development of this area as part of the implementation of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, aimed at fulfilling the tasks of socio-economic development of Russia set by the President. The use of design solutions that have already passed the assessment of the state examination of design documentation helps to reduce the construction time of facilities, as well as reduce the financial costs of participants in the investment and construction process,” noted Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

    In addition, the Government has defined federal executive bodies and their subordinate institutions authorized to develop standard design documentation. These are the Ministry of Construction of Russia (Federal Autonomous Institution “FCS”), the Ministry of Transport of Russia (Federal State Institution “Rostransmodernizatsiya”, Federal State Institution “Rosgranstroy”), the Ministry of Defense of Russia, and the Federal Protective Service of Russia.

Three quarters of Russians develop and strengthen their values after having children. The number of young people who do not want to have children has decreased threefold. And 88% of Russians believe that a large family is the embodiment of cohesion.”

    Tatyana Golikova expressed hope that these trends will continue to be supported.

    In the special nomination “Family Year Project”, the campaign for promoting family values within the framework of the Year of the Family was named the best. Tatyana Golikova presented the award to the general director of the ANO “National Priorities” Sofia Malyavina and the creative director, author of the popular video “Freckle” Ruslana Kharitonova.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Artificial Intelligence in Construction. ISI Students Developed the IMPULSE Complex

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The team of the Civil Engineering Institute has developed a unique software package “IMPULSE” for automated classification of elements of digital information models (DIM) based on artificial intelligence technologies. The use of a PC allows to significantly reduce labor costs at the stages of classification and coding of data in DIM, as well as to speed up and simplify the process of assigning codes and attributes to elements of the information model.

    The project is interdisciplinary. The development was carried out by the Civil Engineering and Physics and Mechanical Institutes of SPbPU, whose specialists combined engineering competencies in the field of construction modeling and computational methods. Technical manager – Pavel Nedviga.

    Students from two institutes took part in the project. This collaboration provided a unique opportunity not only to develop the technical aspects of the product, but also to develop skills in working with modern digital technologies in young specialists. The PhysMech team was led by Vyacheslav Chukanov, a senior lecturer at the Higher School of Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics.

    The work lasted for two and a half years. The final stage was the inclusion of the PC “IMPULSE” in the Unified Register of Russian programs for electronic computers and databases with a special mark indicating that the software belongs to the field of artificial intelligence. The registration of the program confirms its compliance with the requirements for domestic software and its importance for the construction industry.

    The project partners were GC Pioneer, a development company implementing large-scale housing and infrastructure projects, and the State Expertise Center, an organization that carries out an independent assessment of the quality of project documentation.

    The IMPULSE PC is actively used in the educational process within the Digital Departments project. ISI students master the software package as part of their practical training and apply artificial intelligence mechanisms. The total number of such students has exceeded 350 people.

    Currently, “IMPULSE” is successfully used by design organizations that turn to BIM modeling technologies. The program has proven highly effective in the educational process and project practice.

    The use of artificial intelligence technologies allows to significantly reduce labor costs of certain types of work and operations in the process of developing design documentation and to increase the efficiency of design work. Thanks to the use of the software package “IMPULSE”, design engineers will be more focused on expert work, eliminating the need to perform routine tasks, such as manual classification of elements of the information model and assigning codes and classes to them. At the moment, the product is unique and has no analogues in the world, – noted the director of the Civil Engineering Institute Marina Petrochenko.

    UNITED NATIONS, June 6 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday expressed disappointment over the United States’ veto of a draft UN Security Council resolution on Gaza a day earlier.

    A draft resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and lifting restrictions on humanitarian aid received the support of 14 of the 15 Security Council members. The United States was the only UN Security Council member to veto the draft.

    Asked on Thursday if he was disappointed with the outcome, Guterres said: “Of course.”

    “We are always disappointed when a ceasefire fails, hostages are not released, and humanitarian aid is not distributed or is distributed in a way that puts the lives of many Palestinians at risk,” the UN secretary-general told reporters.

    A. Guterres said the UN would do everything possible to help the people of Gaza. However, he stressed that the work of the world organization will be effective only if there is a permanent ceasefire, the unconditional and immediate release of all hostages and unlimited access for humanitarian aid.

    According to him, it is important to maintain the prospect of resolving the conflict based on the principle of “two states for two peoples.” –0–
