    URUMQI, June 23 (Xinhua) — The treatment room smells of medicinal herbs, its walls are decorated with illustrations explaining the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and a diagram of the acupuncture technique, a model of the human body with indications of the complex meridians and collaterals of “Jing-Luo” stands against the wall, a doctor sits at a table in the middle of the treatment room, intently checking the patient’s pulse – such a picture, typical of a TCM medical institution, was observed not somewhere in China, but in the capital of Uzbekistan.

    The China-Uzbekistan Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmaceutics, located in Tashkent, vividly embodies the efforts of the two countries to implement the initiative envisaged in the Xi’an Declaration of the China-Central Asia Summit of 2023. The initiative states: “The parties are interested in deepening cooperation in the field of healthcare, promoting the construction of traditional Chinese medicine centers, including in the field of growing and processing medicinal plants to form the “Silk Road of Health.”

    In particular, Xinjiang /Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, XUAR/, the region of China closest to the Central Asian countries, actively responded to the initiative. In September 2024, Xinjiang Medical University welcomed the first batch of doctors from Uzbekistan who came here to study for a master’s degree in TCM. With their youth and energy, they injected new impetus into the construction of the “Health Silk Road”.

    Among the arriving listeners was 25-year-old Sirojiddin Umirov, who had shown great enthusiasm for traditional medicine since childhood. In 2024, after graduating from the Tashkent State Medical University, he decided to deepen his qualifications in traditional medicine in China. To prepare for this, he even independently began to study Chinese in advance.

    In his master’s degree at Xinjiang Medical University, the native of the Kashkadarya region of Uzbekistan chose TCM methodology in the field of osteology as his field of study.

    “Here I am simply captivated by the deep wisdom and miraculous effects of ancient Chinese medicine. An experienced scientific director imparts to us knowledge on the treatment of bone diseases using traditional methods of Chinese medicine, and I strive to quickly use the acquired skills in clinical practice,” said S. Umirov.

    “We train Uzbek doctors with a focus on improving their practical clinical skills,” said the scientific director, Professor Fan Rui. “We hope that after studying in China, S. Umirov will be able to make a great contribution to the dissemination of TCM in Uzbekistan and the promotion of the development of local, Uzbek traditional medicine.”

    Kamronbek Gaibullaev, 23, who graduated from the Samarkand State Medical University, was also interested in studying the TCM program at Xinjiang Medical University. Acupuncture has proven to be a difficult subject for him.

    His supervisor, Li Yongkai, noted that Uzbek students still find it difficult to accurately determine the depth, angle and force of needle insertion, and sometimes lack the determination to perform this practice. In his opinion, this is partly due to the fact that, unlike the Chinese, they have had relatively little contact with TCM theory and knowledge in this area in everyday life.

    Despite this, K. Gaibullaev is full of confidence in overcoming the difficulty. He dreams of opening a TCM clinic in his native region, using his medical skills to help local residents fight illnesses.

    At the same time, in Tashkent, at the Chinese-Uzbek Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmaceutics, Zakhro Mirsaidova and her colleagues, based on the constant strengthening of clinical experience, have already begun to think about the localization of TCM.

    “We have decided to promote the localization and modernization of TCM development in Uzbekistan, for which we are considering the possibility of developing a set of principles for the prevention and treatment of diseases using TCM that correspond to the realities of our country, and we also plan to launch research work on the impact of TCM on common diseases in the Central Asian region,” said Z. Mirsaidova.

    The dissemination of TCM training courses in medical universities of Uzbekistan, the joint creation of TCM clinics, the establishment of international cooperation in the field of TCM educational programs, the active organization of relevant trainings and cultural events – all this is aimed at promoting the integrated and innovative development of traditional medicine in China and Uzbekistan, noted Chen Jingbo, Director of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region TCM Hospital at Xinjiang Medical University.

    He places great hope on talented traditional medicine specialists from the two countries to improve their professional skills and make greater contributions to protecting people’s health and play an active role in implementing the Health Silk Road initiative. -0-

    WASHINGTON, June 23 (Xinhua) — The U.S. State Department on Sunday issued a global security alert, urging U.S. citizens abroad to exercise increased caution.

    “The conflict between Israel and Iran has led to disruptions in air traffic and periodic closures of airspace in the Middle East,” says a statement posted on the department’s official website.

    “There is a potential for protests against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. The State Department advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution,” the warning said.

    The United States struck three key Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, saying it had destroyed the country’s nuclear program.

    Late on Saturday, US President Donald Trump warned that any retaliatory strike by Iran “will be met with force far beyond what the world saw tonight.”

    Last week, the State Department warned American citizens against traveling to Israel, Gaza and the West Bank due to armed conflict, terrorism and civil unrest. –0–

    PYONGYANG, June 23 (Xinhua) — The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday strongly condemned the U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities on Saturday, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.

    The attack “grossly violated the UN Charter, which provides for respect for sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs as a fundamental principle, and other international laws, and grossly trampled on the territorial integrity and security interests of a sovereign state,” the statement said.

    Under the pretext of so-called “peacekeeping” and “removing the threat,” Israel and the United States have further escalated tensions in the Middle East and caused serious negative consequences for the global security structure by demonstrating their physical strength, it said.

    The international community must unanimously condemn the confrontational actions of the US and Israel, the report added. –0–

    In St. Petersburg, the Deputy President visited President Vladimir Putin at the Constantine Palace, where they held bilateral meetings with the Russian delegation, which included Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

    The Deputy President expressed gratitude, on behalf of President Cyril Ramaphosa and the citizens, for Russia’s support in the anti-apartheid struggle and its contributions to socio-economic emancipation beyond the achievement of freedom and democracy.

    “I have been tasked by the President to work tirelessly towards the translation of the strong foundation of our strategic relations into higher trade and economic ties for the mutual benefit of our countries and our people,” said the Deputy President.

    He delivered remarks during the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF’25), following President Putin’s address.

    The Deputy President also met with the Chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin. 

    The Deputy President expressed his appreciation for the ongoing collaboration between the State Duma and South Africa throughout the years. 

    He emphasised the significance of parliamentary diplomacy as a means to enhance government initiatives, promote dialogue, and facilitate progress in trade and other sectors.

    He concluded his trip with a guided tour and site visit to the Port of St. Petersburg, where he met with the port’s leadership and workers.
    This site visit followed discussions by officials from Russia and South Africa during the 18th Session of the Intergovernmental Committee on Trade and Economic Cooperation (ITEC). 

    During these talks, the two countries finalised their cooperation in the maritime sector and agreed to collaborate with participants from the logistics industry and port authorities of both nations to ensure the mutually beneficial use of port infrastructure.

    Deputy President Mashatile also had the opportunity to sit down with two major Russian television news networks, Russia Today and Sputnik Africa, where he reflected on some important insights from his working visit. 

    Key takeaways included a strong emphasis on enhancing economic cooperation in various sectors such as agriculture, automotive, energy, mining, and collaboration in science and technology. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Trendwatching: Radical Innovations in Creative Industries and Creativity

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    Rapid technological development, adaptation of business processes to new economic realities and changing audience demands require creative industry specialists to be aware of current trends and be flexible when implementing projects. In April – May 2025 Institute for the Development of Creative Industries (IRKI) Faculty of Creative Industries HSE University conducted a study of trends in the creative industries.

    The study surveyed over 300 leading experts representing various creative industries. The experts were asked to predict key trends, radical innovations and developments that will appear in the creative industries and the creative sphere in the next three years.

    How exactly will the creative economy change under the influence of new technologies and trends? The survey results allow us to clearly define the main directions of this transformation.

    Technological trends in creative industries:

    the active implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in all creative industries – from generating content in advertising to helping composers create music;

    Neurotechnologies and wearable devices that allow reading body metrics and creating new forms of interaction are becoming key to the development of interactive media and music; development of cognitive neuroadapted wearable predictive models;

    Metaverses, mixed and augmented reality (AR/MR) are used as tools for integrating brands into digital spaces; integrating creative projects with IoT (Internet of Things).

    Changes in approaches to creativity:

    transition from template solutions to experimental approaches;

    Personalization and interactivity are becoming the standard, from customized experiences at events to deep personalization of content in advertising;

    automation of routine processes frees up more time for creativity;

    Gamification is becoming the standard for project implementation.

    Financial assessment of creative results:

    data and metrics are used for the financial evaluation of creative results, big data allows for a fair assessment and determination of the cost of a product based on its usefulness to the end consumer, which will allow for setting an equilibrium price for creative products (for example, reading audience reactions in interactive media);

    The marketplace market is transforming creativity by setting new rules for pricing and distributing creative products.

    Education and Science:

    convergence of different sciences and representation of interdisciplinary tools;

    the emergence of new Practice as Research formats;

    further convergence of science, art and education based on the innovative principles of open science;

    digitalization of science and the development of the format of electronic scientific journals create new formats for the dissemination of knowledge: the formation of creative digital platforms and the creation of a repository of high-quality metadata;

    dissemination of scientific knowledge on Open Access platforms;

    the emergence of neural network pedagogical simulacra.

    Social and cultural changes:

    Segmenting audiences into smaller communities requires more targeted creative strategies;

    the elitism of live events (concerts, exhibitions) is combined with the development of community and user-generated content (UGC);

    increasing emphasis on the individual experience of the participant/viewer, developing event interactivity.

    “An important place in our “HSE Journal of Art and Design“is engaged in the study of the latest theories in the field of art and design practices. In the coming years, new formats of Practice as Research, when practicing artists come to science, will determine innovative publishing strategies for art and design magazines,” says Irina Sakhno, professor Design schools HSE University Faculty of Arts and Design, Editor-in-Chief of the HSE University Journal of Art

    “Artificial intelligence will become an assistant in performing routine tasks, which will give more time for creativity. In the fashion industry, AI will be actively used in work on collection campaigns,” comments Elena Ermakovishna, head of the HSE CREATIVE HUB and teacher at the School of Design, producer of cultural events, art critic, designer.

    “In music, there is the elitism of live concerts and a focus on the artist’s work with the development of a community of like-minded people, a model of recursive mythologization of the narratives of the artist’s musical creativity with the construction of additional branches of transmedia based on fan fiction and UGC (user-generated content),” explains Evgenia Evpak, composer, historian of musical innovation, and researcher of the music industry.

    “Storytelling will become the basis of advertising,” comments Alexander Baru, a teacher of design thinking and marketing at the HSE School of Design.

    Experts believe that creative industries are in for a radical transformation under the influence of new technologies. This will require flexibility from professionals and institutions and a revision of traditional business models.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Briefing – EU–NATO cooperation – 23-06-2025

    Source: European Parliament

    The cooperation between the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has deepened significantly in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which has reshaped Europe’s security environment and highlighted the complementary roles of both organisations. NATO remains the cornerstone of collective defence, backed by United States (US) capabilities, while the EU has emerged as a key actor in financial aid, military assistance and sanctions. Both institutions have formalised their partnership through joint declarations and strategic documents, including NATO’s Strategic Concept, the EU’s Strategic Compass and White Paper for European Defence – Readiness 2030. Practical cooperation now spans a wide range of areas including cyber defence, countering hybrid threats, military mobility, critical infrastructure protection, and joint crisis preparedness. Regular staff-level coordination, shared exercises, and technical arrangements – such as the NATO–EU task force on critical infrastructure – have improved resilience and interoperability. The EU has also significantly ramped up its defence role. It has delivered €50.8 billion in military aid to Ukraine (EU plus Member State contributions). It has introduced industrial policies such as EDIRPA, ASAP, and the ReArm Europe/Readiness 2030 plan to reinforce the European defence industrial base. Despite progress, persistent challenges remain. Political tensions – in particular between Cyprus and Türkiye – continue to block intelligence sharing and formal joint planning. The EU still relies heavily on NATO, particularly US assets, for operational capabilities. Growing uncertainty over US commitments under the second Trump Presidency has reinforced the EU’s drive to strengthen strategic autonomy and ensure greater burden-sharing within NATO. The European Parliament supports stronger, complementary EU–NATO ties focused on interoperability, resilience and avoiding duplication, while stressing the need for Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security. At the NATO summit on 24-25 June in The Hague (the Netherlands), key challenges include agreeing on higher defence spending targets, maintaining alliance unity, managing the Russia threat, and rapidly scaling up Europe’s defence capabilities.

    G7 leaders gathered under this year’s Canadian Presidency in Kananaskis, Canada, from 15 to 17 June 2025. The 51st leaders’ summit was overshadowed by the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran (which forced United States (US) President Donald Trump to leave the summit earlier), trade tensions between the US and the G7 nations, Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, and the Israel–Hamas war and the situation in Gaza. While the G7 issued several joint statements, for instance on the Israel–Iran crisis, no final G7 leaders’ communiqué was adopted, contrary to previous summits. The EU and other G7 members did not achieve a breakthrough in the trade talks with the US.

    ASTANA, June 23 (Xinhua) — Holding events such as the China-Central Asia News Agency Forum is an effective step to implement the “Central Asia-China spirit” and an important element of China’s public diplomacy in the region, Qiu Xiaoqi, vice chairman of the China Society for Public Diplomacy, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua on Saturday.

    As one of the outcomes of the Second China-Central Asia Summit, the forum was initiated and hosted by the Xinhua News Agency. It was attended by the heads of the Xinhua News Agency, the Television and Radio Complex of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz National News Agency “Kabar”, the National News Agency of Tajikistan “Khovar”, the Information Agency “Media-Turkmen” and the National News Agency of Uzbekistan.

    According to Qiu Xiaoqi, the people’s aspirations are the basis for the development of interstate relations. The “Central Asia-China Spirit”, as a strategic consensus of the leaders of China and the countries of the region, should be put into practice, which the people of all countries can accept.

    He noted that the forum is a kind of “transformer” of official and unofficial narratives. “Official cooperation plans need professional explanation and vivid presentation by the media and think tanks so that they become stories that can be understood and shared,” Qiu Xiaoqi said. According to him, the forum helps to transform ideas into concrete cooperation projects.

    He also stressed that such events serve as a “glue” to strengthen mutual trust and consensus. The China-Central Asia Cooperation Forum and the 3rd Silk Road International Communication Conference hosted events to discuss important topics, including regional connectivity, geopolitics, and cooperation in artificial intelligence. “This format of direct and open dialogue between representatives of different fields helps strengthen mutual trust, social foundations, and public opinion,” he said.

    According to Qiu Xiaoqi, the news agency forum and other similar events also serve as an “incubator” for China’s public diplomacy in Central Asia, bringing together representatives from governments, media, academia and other fields. The contacts and friendships established at the forum will continue beyond the conference halls. –0–

  • Iran issues stark warning to Trump ‘the gambler’: We will end this war

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Iran said on Monday that the U.S. attack on its nuclear sites expanded the range of legitimate targets for its armed forces and called U.S. President Donald Trump a “gambler” for joining Israel’s military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

    Since Trump joined Israel’s campaign by dropping massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, Iran has repeatedly threatened to retaliate.

    But while it has continued to fire missiles at Israel, it has yet to take action against the United States itself, either by firing at U.S. bases or by targeting the 20% of global oil shipments that pass near its coast at the mouth of the Gulf.

    “Mr Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to end it,” Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters, said on Monday in English at the end of a recorded video statement.

    Iran and Israel traded another wave of air and missile strikes on Monday as the world braced for Tehran’s response.

    Trump’s administration has repeatedly said that its aim is solely to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme, not to open a wider war.

    But in a social media post on Sunday, Trump openly spoke of toppling the hardline clerical rulers who have been Washington’s principal foes in the Middle East since Iran’s 1979 revolution.

    “It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!” he wrote.

    Experts surveying commercial satellite imagery said it appeared that the U.S. attack had severely damaged the site of Iran’s Fordow nuclear plant, built inside a mountain, and possibly destroyed it and the uranium-enriching centrifuges it housed, although there was no independent confirmation.

    Trump called the strike a “Bullseye!!!”.

    “Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran,” he wrote. “The biggest damage took place far below ground level.”

    MORE ISRAELI STRIKES

    Israel’s airstrikes on Iran have met little resistance from Iranian defences since Israel launched its surprise attack on June 13, killing many of Iran’s top commanders.

    The Israeli military said on Monday that about 20 jets had conducted a wave of strikes against military targets in western Iran and Tehran overnight. ⁠In Kermanshah, in western Iran, missile and radar infrastructure was targeted, and in Tehran a surface-to-air missile launcher was struck, it said.

    Iranian news agencies reported air defences had been activated in central Tehran districts, and Israeli air strikes had hit Parchin, the location of a military complex southeast of the capital.

    Iran says more than 400 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks, mostly civilians, but has released few images of the damage since the initial days of the bombing. Tehran, a city of 10 million people, has largely emptied, with residents fleeing to the countryside to escape attacks.

    Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes on Israel have killed 24 people, all civilians, and injured hundreds, the first time a significant number of Iranian missiles have ever penetrated Israeli defences.

    The Israeli military said a missile launched from Iran in the early hours of Monday had been intercepted by Israeli defences. Air raid sirens blared overnight in Tel Aviv and other parts of central Israel.

    LIMITED RETALIATION

    Beyond those missiles, Iran’s ability to retaliate is far more limited than a few months ago, since Israel inflicted defeat on Iran’s most feared regional proxy force, Hezbollah in Lebanon, whose downfall was swiftly followed by that of Iran’s most powerful client ruler, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad.

    Iran’s most effective threat to hurt the West would probably be to restrict global oil flows from the Gulf. Oil prices spiked on Monday at their highest since January. But they have not yet shot up to crisis levels, indicating that traders see a path out of the conflict that avoids serious disruption.

    Brent crude futures were down 0.5% to $76.64 a barrel as of 0830 GMT, after briefly jumping above $80 at the opening.

    Iran’s parliament has approved a move to close the Strait of Hormuz that leads into the Gulf, which would require approval from the Supreme National Security Council, a body led by an appointee of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

    Attempting to strangle the strait could send global oil prices skyrocketing, derail the world economy and invite conflict with the U.S. Navy’s massive Fifth Fleet that patrols the Gulf from its base in Bahrain.

    “It’s economic suicide for them if they do it. And we retain options to deal with that,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

    As Tehran weighed its options, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was expected to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday. The Kremlin has a strategic partnership with Iran, but also close links with Israel.

    Speaking in Istanbul on Sunday, Araqchi said his country would consider all possible responses and there would be no return to diplomacy until it had retaliated. TASS news agency later quoted him as saying Iran and Russia were coordinating their positions.

    UNITED NATIONS, June 23 (Xinhua) — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday warned of the possibility of “retaliation” following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

    The US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities marks a dangerous turn in a region already reeling, A. Guterres said at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

    “Since the beginning of the /Israeli-Iranian/ crisis, I have repeatedly condemned any military escalation in the Middle East. The people of the region cannot bear another cycle of destruction. And yet, we now risk falling into a vortex of mutual retaliation,” he warned.

    To avoid further escalation, diplomacy must prevail, civilians must be protected and the safety of maritime navigation must be guaranteed, the UN chief said.

    “We must act immediately and decisively to stop the fighting and return to serious, lasting negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program,” he urged.

    A. Guterres called for a credible, comprehensive and verifiable solution to restore confidence, including inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

    He stressed that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is the cornerstone of international peace and security, adding that Iran must fully comply with it.

    All member states, he said, must act in accordance with their obligations under the UN Charter and other international law, including international humanitarian law.

    “The UN stands ready to support any efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement. But peace cannot be imposed; it must be chosen,” the UN Secretary-General said. “We face a stark choice. One path leads to more war, more human suffering, and serious damage to the international order. The other path leads to de-escalation, diplomacy, and dialogue. We know which path is right.”

    He also called on the Security Council and all UN member states to act with prudence, restraint and urgency in the name of peace. –0–

    UNITED NATIONS, June 23 (Xinhua) — The international nuclear non-proliferation regime could collapse unless diplomacy returns, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Sunday following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday.

    “The nuclear non-proliferation regime, which has underpinned international security for more than half a century, is under threat. Events in Iran have become even more alarming after the overnight bombings and the possible widening of the conflict,” he said.

    “We have a window of opportunity to return to dialogue and diplomacy. If it closes, violence and destruction could reach unimaginable levels, and the global non-proliferation regime as we know it would simply collapse,” he warned.

    Iran, Israel and the Middle East need peace and there is a path for diplomacy, said R. Grossi, stressing the need to return to the negotiating table.

    Assessing the consequences of the US strikes, he reported that there was destruction at the facilities, but no radiation leaks were recorded.

    According to information received from the Iranian side, the radiation level outside the three sites in Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz has not increased, he added.

    He said the IAEA had consistently stressed that armed attacks on nuclear facilities should not occur and could result in radioactive releases with serious consequences both within and beyond the attacked state. He reiterated his call for maximum restraint.

    “Let’s not let the window of diplomacy slam shut. Let’s not let the non-proliferation regime collapse. Regardless of individual positions and views, one thing is certain, and it is a simple truth: we will not be safer if more states around the world have more nuclear weapons,” concluded R. Grossi. –0–

  • Missile Alarms in Jerusalem as U.S.-Iran Tensions Ignite New Escalation in West Asia

    Jerusalem was gripped by fresh anxiety today as a missile was spotted overhead, followed by distant explosions, according to a Reuters report. The Israeli military subsequently activated air raid sirens across central and southern Israel, citing further incoming missile threats from Iran. The development comes amid heightened tensions in West Asia, following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

    Over the past ten days, central Israel has sustained heavy damage, with repeated attacks also hitting the northern port city of Haifa. The ongoing conflict has significantly raised fears of a broader regional war, prompting renewed diplomatic efforts. High-level talks are reportedly underway in Moscow in a bid to defuse the crisis.

    China has called on both Iran and Israel to de-escalate hostilities. “The Chinese side urges the parties to the conflict to prevent the situation from escalating repeatedly, resolutely avoid the spillover of war, and return to the path of political resolution,” said foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Monday.

    Meanwhile, Spain’s foreign minister announced plans to urge the European Union to suspend a key cooperation agreement with Israel and to consider a weapons embargo, stating that Europe “must show courage” in response to the escalating violence.

    In the U.S., President Donald Trump stirred debates by reviving talk of regime change in Iran. In a social media post, he questioned the legitimacy of the current Iranian leadership and wrote, “If they can’t MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN—why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???”

    Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has arrived in the Russian capital for high-stakes talks with Russia’s top leadership. As a long-standing ally of Iran and a significant power in the region, Russia is viewed as a potential mediator in this deepening crisis.

    The discussions are expected to concentrate on de-escalation strategies, broader regional security concerns, and exploring any viable diplomatic pathways to resolve the ongoing hostilities.

    While Russian officials have indicated their readiness to play a constructive role in facilitating peace, the path forward remains highly uncertain. The international community, including the United Nations and other key global powers, continues to closely monitor the volatile situation, issuing urgent calls for restraint and dialogue from all parties involved.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Polytechnic team built the “Wall of Memory” at the ARCHNEVA architectural workshop

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    The Sylva memoria team of the Civil Engineering Institute took part in the final event of the ARCHNEVA 2025 student architectural workshop, dedicated to the design and construction of wooden structures in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory. The final took place in the park of the St. Petersburg State Forest Engineering University. The organizers were: the Wooden Housing Association, Kirov St. Petersburg State Forest Engineering University and the SOLO architectural bureau.

    The team was led by Alexandra Zatsepina, a teacher at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction.

    The team included students from various higher schools of the Civil Engineering Institute:

    Sharip Isaev, 4th year undergraduate student, Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction; Alina Totskaya, 3rd year undergraduate student, Higher School of Design and Architecture; Polina Shindina, 3rd year undergraduate student, Higher School of Design and Architecture; Elizaveta Rudt, 2nd year undergraduate student, Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction; Elizaveta Ivanova, 4th year undergraduate student, Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction.

    During the workshop, our team developed and implemented a small architectural form project, “Memory Wall”. The object was made of timber, boards, beams, plexiglass and mirrors. According to the students’ idea, “Memory Wall” became a symbol of careful rethinking of the memory of a place through form, light and texture.

    It was the connection with the place that attracted the attention of the jury at the final stage of the competition – when preparing the project, the students conducted research into the history of the park during the Great Patriotic War, talked with the director of the Botanical Garden of St. Petersburg State Forest University Nina Adonina, and collected information that was placed on the art object “Wall of Memory”.

    The team worked on the project not only at the level of concept and architectural solution, but also in the design plan: working documentation was developed, cost estimates were calculated, consultations were held with architects, engineers, manufacturers of Himtex fasteners and Farbraum paint and varnish coatings.

    The students went through all stages of the project implementation — from conception to construction. They personally erected the object, adapting it to the real conditions of the site and overcoming organizational and technical difficulties. Support was provided by experienced craftsmen, students of the Forestry University and representatives of other teams.

    At the final presentation, 6 teams from St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kazan presented their objects. The objects were opened to the public and the jury, which included industry experts, architects, festival curators and journalists. The “Wall of Memory” was awarded a diploma, and its future destiny was determined – the object will be installed in the Botanical Garden of St. Petersburg State Forest University.

    “The project allowed us to combine an engineering approach with landscape and architectural thinking,” said team member and fourth-year student of the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction Sharip Isaev. “It was an important experience not only in design, but also in the team implementation of an idea from concept to implementation. We are grateful to the mentor and the ARCHNEVA workshop for the opportunity to be part of such a process.”

    The mentor of the team from the Civil Engineering Institute, Alexandra Zatsepina, noted: The greatest success for the team was how people passing by interact with the constructed art object. They come up, read the history of the park on the illuminated transparent wall, look at the mirrored windows with candles, where the guys indicated the plants that survived the blockade. You really want to stop at the wall and feel the “memory of the forest”.

    The Sylva memoria team became a shining example of active student participation in the life of the city and demonstrated the high level of preparation of students of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Institute of Civil Engineering to solve real-life design problems.

    ASTANA, June 23 (Xinhua) — The Xinhua Research Institute, a think tank under the Xinhua News Agency, on Sunday released a report to the world titled “Developing the Central Asia-China Spirit: Achievements, Opportunities and Prospects of Regional Cooperation,” which provides a comprehensive overview of the important achievements and opportunities as well as challenges and problems of China-Central Asia cooperation in the new era and makes a forward-looking analysis of the future prospects.

    Central Asia is connected to China by common nature and destiny. If we look back into the past, we can see how the peoples of China and Central Asia together contributed to the establishment and prosperity of the Great Silk Road, leaving behind vivid evidence of cooperation over the centuries: “Caravans stretched to the horizon, and overseas merchants flocked to the border outposts day after day.”

    In the new era, China and Central Asia have become good neighbors, reliable friends, partners and brothers bound by a common destiny. From the quantitative and qualitative growth of trade and economic ties to the interconnectedness of infrastructure, from the joint development of green energy to mutual learning and the joint development of cultural exchanges, China and Central Asian countries have created a new reality of friendly, safe and prosperous neighborliness in the Eurasian space, developing and shaping the “Central Asia-China spirit” characterized by mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, mutual assistance and the promotion of joint modernization through high-quality development. In this way, China and Central Asia have jointly created a model and pattern of regional cooperation.

    The international situation is currently characterized by growing instability, and the world is entering a new period of turbulence and change. The rise of unilateralism and trade protectionism, and the destruction of international production and logistics chains are clouding the prospects for global trade. Despite the fruitful results achieved, cooperation between China and Central Asia faces numerous risks and challenges.

    In the face of a complicated and tense external environment, China is relentlessly focused on its own development and firmly promotes a high level of opening up to the outside world. In this process, China has always regarded the Central Asian region as an important area of its good-neighborly diplomacy, striving to expand mutually beneficial cooperation with countries in the region. This not only brings stability to the Central Asian economy, but also serves as a model of peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation for the world.

    With the acceleration of a new wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the deepening of regional cooperation, China and Central Asian countries are intensifying cooperation in new and diverse areas, striving for joint innovative development.

    At the new turn of history, China and Central Asian countries will write a new chapter of regional development together with greater openness and firmness of purpose, bringing more certainty and positive energy to the unstable world, igniting a new light of hope for mankind’s path to a better future, and making greater contributions to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

    SHANGHAI, June 23 (Xinhua) — The full-length film “Kara Kyzyl Sary” (Black, Red, Yellow), directed by Kyrgyz filmmaker Aktan Arym Kubat, won the top prize of the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival, the Golden Cup.

    The closing ceremony of the festival took place on Saturday. The award in the nomination “Best Film” was presented to the Kyrgyz director by the chairman of the jury, the famous film director Giuseppe Tornatore. The performers of the leading roles Nargiza Mamatkulova and Aigul Busurmankulova also appeared on stage.

    According to Kyrgyz media, the film’s plot centers on the life of a weaver whose carpets become a reflection of the fates of the people for whom they are created. In her hands, these products turn into mirrors showing the fates of their owners. The director noted that the main character’s love story unfolds against the backdrop of the collapse of the USSR, when significant changes were taking place in both the political and spiritual spheres, which exacerbated human feelings.

    The project “Kara Kyzyl Sary” was created with the support of the National Film Studio “Kyrgyzfilm” and is based on the works of the writer Topchugul Shaidullaeva. Filming took place in the Batken region of Kyrgyzstan.

    In addition, in the competition category “Animation”, the joint project of Russia and Kazakhstan “Son” was recognized as the best animated short film.

    The main competition program of the Shanghai International Film Festival included 12 full-length films, with veteran Chinese filmmaker Cao Baoping winning the Best Director award for his action-comedy “One Wacky Summer,” the Best Actress award went to Chinese actress Wan Qian for her role in “Wild Nights, Tamed Beasts,” and the Best Actor award went to José Martins for his work in the Portuguese-Brazilian co-production “The Scent of Things Remembered.”

    The 27th Shanghai International Film Festival was held in China from June 13 to 22. During this time, more than 400 films from about 70 countries were shown in dozens of Shanghai cinemas. The festival film program consisted of five sections: main competition, new Asian talents, animation, documentary films, and short films.

    Polytechnic University received a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science for the development of scientific and technological infrastructure and technologies in the field of nuclear medicine, nanomedicine and hadron therapy, including the development of high-tech and radiopharmaceutical drugs.

    The Polytechnic University has won the competitive selection for the provision of grants in the form of subsidies from the federal budget for the implementation of individual activities of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure for the Period up to 2030 and Beyond. The grant is aimed at developing scientific and technological infrastructure and technologies in the field of nuclear medicine, nanomedicine and hadron therapy, including the development of high-tech and radiopharmaceutical drugs (RPhLD).

    A group of scientists from SPbPU, headed by the director of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology Andrey Vasin, together with the scientific team of the Department of Molecular and Radiation Biophysics of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” – PNPI, presented a research program for the competition dedicated to the development of new technologies for the encapsulation and delivery of radionuclides for the diagnosis and therapy of malignant neoplasms.

    Currently, in Russia there are practically no original modern technological developments in the field of encapsulation of various radionuclides of therapeutic action, which can be further used to create new RFLPs to combat socially significant diseases, primarily malignant neoplasms. We plan to develop methods for obtaining hybrid nanocarriers for radionuclides and methods for encapsulating radioactive isotopes of radium-224 and iodine-125 in them by the end of 2025. And in the next two years, preclinical studies of the safety of the RFLPs being developed will be conducted and the effectiveness of their use for the treatment of malignant neoplasms in vivo will be studied, – noted Andrey Vasin.

    There are also plans to implement an additional professional development program, “Modern methods of delivering radionuclides for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms,” which will allow training personnel for the industry.

    We are grateful to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation for supporting our project, which has quite a serious groundwork and an excellent team of researchers, including many young scientists. The funds received will also be used to modernize the equipment needed to conduct research in the field of developing RFLP drugs. Preventive maintenance of individual systems of the isochronous cyclotron MGC-20, which is used to produce radioactive isotopes to obtain RFLP, is planned. The plans include equipping areas for quality control of “cold” hybrid nanocarriers and isotopes based on the scientific divisions of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology, – commented the curator of the project, Vice-Rector for Research at SPbPU Yuri Fomin.

    The project is being implemented jointly with the scientific team of the Department of Molecular and Radiation Biophysics of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” – PNPI, which has a research infrastructure for the development and conduct of preclinical studies of radiopharmaceutical drugs. The project will be implemented during 2025-2027, the total funding will be 231 million rubles, including 21 million rubles of the organization’s own funds.
