ULAN BATOR, July 11 (Xinhua) — Mongolia is celebrating World Horse Day to draw international attention to the importance of horses and encourage public participation in their conservation.
“Our people say: ‘The Mongolian people and Mongolian horses are one.’ Therefore, I am very pleased to inform the participants of the Naadam Festival that Mongolia has initiated World Horse Day to preserve the heritage and traditions of equestrian culture, and to highlight the role and significance of horses in the life of humanity,” said Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh at the opening ceremony of the Naadam Festival.
As a representative of nomadic peoples who have preserved their equestrian culture and traditions since ancient times, Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh initiated a draft UN General Assembly resolution to proclaim July 11 of each year as “World Horse Day”. The 79th session of the UN General Assembly on June 3, 2025 adopted this document.
Currently, Mongolia has a horse population of over 5 million, which is larger than the country’s population. Meanwhile, there are over 57 million horses in the world. In many countries, horse breeding plays an important role in socio-economic development, contributing to the economic empowerment of rural populations and local communities through horse riding, transportation, racing, equestrian sports, tourism and recreation, as well as job creation, food production and other activities.
At the same time, horse populations and the horse breeding industry worldwide are declining due to lifestyle changes, pressures from economic fluctuations, climate change, environmental and other factors. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the 32nd ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on Friday.
As Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, noted, the development of the Asia-Pacific region has benefited from the peaceful and stable environment in the region, and this should be cherished.
Noting that the ARF, as an important multilateral security platform in the region, bears significant responsibility for maintaining regional peace and stability, Wang Yi said that China welcomes the proposal to strengthen the role of the ARF and enhance confidence-building measures.
Wang Yi stressed the need to ensure the stable development of the Asia-Pacific region and ensure that the ARF continues to play its due role. China’s position is to adhere to the concept of joint, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, promote the construction of a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture, actively build an Asian security model based on the principle of indivisible security, seeking common ground while maintaining differences, dialogue and consultation, so as to pursue a new type of security based on dialogue, partnership and win-win rather than confrontation, alliance-building and zero-sum games, the Chinese Foreign Minister added.
Wang Yi noted that creating division and confrontation through a zero-sum mentality is contrary to the goal of maintaining security, calling for addressing both the symptoms and root causes of conflicts and wars.
The Chinese Foreign Minister pointed out that Asia calls on Eastern wisdom, which regards harmony as the highest value and envisages harmonious coexistence. It is necessary to draw wisdom from the “Bandung spirit”, find common ground and overcome differences, paying attention to the legitimate security concerns of all parties, Wang Yi added.
China hopes to work with regional countries to smooth over and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and inject new vitality into confidence-building measures and preventive diplomacy in all aspects of ARF activities. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — The 15th East Asia Summit (EAS) foreign ministers’ meeting was held in Kuala Lumpur on Friday. Speaking at the summit, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on all parties to enhance mutual understanding and trust, maintain peace and stability, and promote development and prosperity.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the East Asia Summit. Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, put forward three proposals on behalf of the Chinese side:
First, return to dialogue. Wang Yi expressed hope that all parties would respect each other, communicate in good faith, and focus on strengthening mutual understanding and cooperation. China supports the adoption of a commemorative declaration on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the summit, which will determine the vector of its future development.
Second, return to development. The best choice for all parties is to expand the cooperation “pie” and share the benefits of development. China is ready to cooperate with all participating countries to implement the action plan of the East Asia Summit and stimulate the growth of regional dynamics, the Chinese diplomat assured.
Third, return to openness. China supports the ASEAN-led regional cooperation framework, firmly upholds the multilateral trading system, builds a regional network of high-level free trade areas, and promotes regional integration. China opposes the introduction of a Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation in the region, and the establishment of closed and exclusive “small circles,” Wang Yi emphasized.
On the Taiwan issue, the Chinese Foreign Minister stressed that the root cause of tension in the Taiwan Strait is the increasingly active separatist actions in favor of “Taiwan independence” and the support and connivance of external forces. The Chinese diplomat said that genuine concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait requires resolute opposition to the spread of “Taiwan independence” forces.
Wang Yi noted that safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the sacred mission of every country. He expressed the hope that all countries will unswervingly adhere to the one-China principle, oppose any form of support for “Taiwan independence,” and support China’s efforts to achieve complete national reunification.
At the summit, the Chinese Foreign Minister also explained China’s tough stance on the South China Sea issue. –0–

So-called professional enablers of grand corruption are increasing service provision out of jurisdictions where they can act without similar restraints.WaitForLight / Shutterstock
During an interview one of us (Ricardo Soares de Oliveira) carried out in 2017, an African high net-worth individual said he was told by an executive whose business had long served him out of London: “Come meet us in Dubai”. This is part of a large but still misunderstood shift.
In response to the hardening of rules for foreign money of dubious origins in traditional financial centres, sensitive business has been moving toward new, more permissive jurisdictions. This offshoring of services is giving corrupt strategies a new lease of life, while also making the fightback more difficult.
For every corrupt dealing that materialises as legitimate wealth, a trail of service provision is indispensable. Bankers, lawyers, real estate executives, accountants, management consultants and PR agencies have acted as facilitators in western financial centres.
Western governments have long indulged kleptocracy, a system where business success and political power are inextricably entwined. They have done so by condoning lax law enforcement and promoting deregulation, often through risible mechanisms of professional self-regulation.
But in recent years, data leaks and brave championship of reform by politicians, as well as the work of civil society organisations, investigative journalists and academics, have shed light on the role of these so-called professional enablers.
In June 2024, a month before becoming British foreign secretary, David Lammy promised to take aim at professionals who enable corruption through London and the UK’s overseas territories. This, he noted, included the “finest bankers, lawyers, estate agents and accountants that money could buy”.
Lammy’s comments give the impression that the era of risk-free facilitation of corrupt behaviour is at an end. But this optimism is, at least for now, misplaced.
The shift is largely in political discourse and media scrutiny. Enforcement seriously lags everywhere and is now in reverse gear in the US. Professional enablers still face no real sanction for engaging in such practices.
At the same time, many professionals are reacting to a more tightly regulated ecosystem in western jurisdictions by engaging in so-called “jurisdictional arbitrage”. There is evidence that they are increasing service provision out of jurisdictions where they can act without similar restraints.
Jurisdictional arbitrage
Almost all cases of the professional enabling we have studied involve service provision in western hubs and “new” global financial centres.
The professional network around Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of the former president of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, was dubbed “the office” by Swiss prosecutors. Karimova was jailed in 2014 for taking bribes for access to the country’s market.
The criminal investigation into her involved 12 jurisdictions, including the UK, US and Uzbekistan as well as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Hong Kong.
Isabel dos Santos, who is Africa’s richest woman and the daughter of former Angolan president José Eduardo dos Santos, also held a maze of global interests. These interests, as in the case of Karimova, spanned western jurisdictions and Asian financial centres such as Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Alternative jurisdictions all offer very similar conditions. They are already well-connected, world-class financial centres that are attractive to international business executives.
Their governments have created regulatory, fiscal and secrecy conditions, sometimes explicitly undercutting older centres such as Switzerland and London. In the latest edition of the Global Financial Centers index, which ranks the competitiveness of financial centres, Dubai rose four places to go above Dublin, Geneva and Paris.
Crucially, they are also mostly authoritarian states where there is no media or civil society pressure regarding business activities. Even the intermittent sort of scrutiny one sees in western financial centres is absent there.
Much activity in these financial centres is legal and based on their legitimate competitive advantages. Business interests are also attracted by their vast capital pools. But they are proving to be especially appealing for the sort of business that can no longer flock to other jurisdictions.
This is the case with servicing clients from states under sanctions such as Russia or Iran. It also applies to regions like Africa and central Asia with high compliance barriers whose high net-worth individuals and firms can no longer get easy access to OECD jurisdictions.
Researchers at the University of Sussex have shown a major shift in dirty money networks away from the west and towards what they call a “Dubai-Kong axis”.
There is no exact portrait of the magnitude of this jurisdictional arbitrage. But our work tells us it is big. Two examples from Switzerland are commodity trading and wealth management.
These sectors have long been under-scrutinised. But they have seen regulatory tightening and greater media attention in recent years. Both have reacted the same way, by sending important parts of their business away from Switzerland.
The UAE has been dubbed the “new Swiss financial mecca”, with the Financial Times reporting in May 2025 that Swiss family offices are moving there “wholesale”. Far from downplaying the “Swiss brand”, they continue to advertise their multi-generational expertise and “old money” mystique, but from more amenable locations.
What can be done?
The many types of legal business involving professional services in these jurisdictions should not be affected. But national and international law must designate the “kleptocratic enterprise” of elites and professionals as a form of serious organised crime.
This would allow prosecutors to target professionals for working with criminal kleptocrats rather than having to prove that the particular asset handled has criminal origin. This move was made by Swiss prosecutors in the Karimova case.
It captures the reality that ill-gotten gains are layered and integrated into assets held overseas, just as enablers do for criminal gangs. It also means that the moving of the family office to Dubai will not prevent prosecution where an asset is held or registered.
Finally, governments could stimulate the market in asset recovery by making it easier for foreign governments and civil society to bring cases, with expert law firms working on a for-profit basis.
Illicit finance is always transnational, so there is no need to declare defeat just because dodgy business is on the move. However, we are entering a new stage in its global dissemination and complexity.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in the country’s administrative capital Putrajaya on Friday. The two sides pledged to advance bilateral ties and cooperation.
The talks took place during Wang Yi’s visit to Malaysia to attend the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. Noting that China is a reliable friend and partner of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim said that a friendly attitude towards China is the consensus of both the Malaysian government and people. Cooperation between the two countries in various fields benefits the people of both countries.
At a time when multilateral mechanisms such as BRICS are gaining strength and countries are striving for independence and development, China is playing a leading role and Malaysia highly values its contribution to these processes, the head of the Malaysian government noted.
For his part, Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, said that under the leadership of the two heads of state, bilateral relations have entered the best period in their history.
China is a sincere friend of Malaysia and stands ready to work with it to fully implement the important consensus reached by the two leaders and advance the building of a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future, Wang said.
The Chinese Foreign Minister also expressed China’s full support for Malaysia’s ASEAN chairmanship in 2025 and its greater role in regional and international affairs. The diplomat added that China hopes to achieve new progress in China-ASEAN cooperation.
According to Wang Yi, China and Malaysia, as developing countries, emerging markets and key players in the Global South, should jointly confront challenges and achieve common development and prosperity.
The US’s unilateral imposition of high tariffs is an irresponsible move that runs counter to global cooperation and common interests, Wang said, adding that China will always adhere to a high level of openness with developing countries and share the advantages of its huge market to expand win-win cooperation.
During the visit, Wang Yi also held talks with Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hassan. –0–

Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine’s Integrated Energy System has endured relentless attacks that have destroyed vital infrastructure. Damaged and illegally seized power plants, hydroelectric stations, and nuclear facilities have resulted in a significant loss in power generating capacity. Over the past three years, Russia has inflicted increasing damage on Ukraine’s electricity, gas networks and production facilities, and renewable energy sources. This is consequential to Ukrainians’ basic needs, leaving, time and again, millions without heat, light, or access to essential services, with vulnerable populations disproportionally affected. These attacks also inflict significant environmental impacts on Ukraine, compounding the humanitarian impacts by polluting land, destroying ecosystems and threatening food and water security. There are also wider regional implications, notably on the Republic of Moldova’s energy security. These far-reaching impacts underline the importance of securing a just and lasting peace through negotiations.
As co-chairs of the G7+ Ukraine Energy Coordination Group, we, the Governments of Canada and the European Union, strongly maintain our position in condemning Russia’s continued, brutal war of aggression against Ukraine and commend the immense resilience of the Ukrainian people and economy. We reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders and right to exist, and its freedom, sovereignty and independence.
The co-chairs reaffirm an unwavering commitment to supporting emergency repairs, fast-tracking deployment of distributed generation, physical protection and scaling-up of renewable energy. These efforts are firmly rooted in the idea that an energy system that is more resilient to Russian attacks and guarantees Ukraine’s energy independence will necessarily entail maximising energy efficiency, along with a vast expansion of Ukraine’s renewable electricity generation. This is consistent with commitments made at COP28, as part of the Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement to transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner, tripling global renewable energy capacity, and doubling the global average annual rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030. These efforts align with the European Union (EU) Clean Energy Package, Ukraine’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), and others noted in the Annex, to advance broader energy transition principles aimed at achieving net-zero by 2050, in line with Ukraine’s EU accession path.
Since 2022, the G7+ Ukraine Energy Coordination Group has successfully mobilised over 7 billion USD in energy assistance. The Ukraine Energy Support Fund (UESF), operated by the Energy Community Secretariat (ECS), has emerged as an efficient and agile instrument in providing financial support, procuring and delivering necessary equipment, and stabilizing Ukraine’s energy sector since its creation in 2022. The UESF is backed by 1.16 billion EUR in pledges from 33 donors and is playing a vital role in restoring damaged infrastructure, deploying decentralized solutions, and ensuring winter preparedness. We acknowledge the ECS’s vital contribution to these efforts, including emergency aid, legal assistance, market monitoring and green recovery.
The estimated funding under the UESF needed to cover 2025 priorities in the energy sector – including critical winterisation efforts – amounts to approximately 630 million EUR. To ensure adequate preparation ahead of the winter season 2025/26, these funds are urgently required. We therefore call on the international community to join efforts in mobilising the necessary energy support and support Ukraine’s collaborations with international financial institutions. At the same time, we continue to support Ukraine with immediate energy purchase needs to ensure energy security through the approaching heating season.
The European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) is contributing to some of the most immediate needs in Ukraine’s energy sector and approximately 50% of offers under the UCPM are addressing energy-related needs. Offers have come from 33 countries, the EU’s rescEU reserves, and private and international donations. This energy assistance could support approximately 9 million people in Ukraine. However, a significant gap to cover restoration needs remains. As such, we call on the international community to increase its efforts at pace.
With recovery costs climbing over 500 billion USD over the next decade, private sector investment will be critical to rebuild Ukraine. We are encouraged to see more public-private dialogue, ongoing work to design effective mechanisms for de-risking of private capital and the continued alignment in regulations and standards, also in view of Ukraine’s future accession to the EU. We further welcome progress in strengthening governance and operational independence of state-owned energy enterprises (SOEs), in line with international best practices, which will be crucial for the energy sector’s financial sustainability, investor confidence, and EU integration.
Today, on July 11, at the 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, hosted by Italy and Ukraine, the European Union and Canada reaffirm our steadfast commitment to supporting Ukraine in establishing a resilient, decentralized and green energy system, aligned with European standards and climate neutrality objectives, and closely integrated with the EU. We underscore the concrete steps already taken, which include:
Launch of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) to support the country’s sustainable recovery during the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2023 in London;
Reaffirmed commitment to support Ukraine’s energy sector during meetings at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin in 2024, at COP28 in Dubai and COP29 in Baku; and,
Regular Foreign Ministers meetings of this Group, such as an in-person meeting at the margins of the UN General Assembly 2024.
We look forward to the discussion and announcement of additional contributions to Ukraine’s energy sector at the 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference.
We further welcome Ukraine’s progress on reforms implementation which are contributing to clean energy transition targets, while fostering greater integration with the EU and ensuring compliance with the obligations under the Energy Community Treaty. In that regard, we urge Ukraine to adopt the Electricity Integration Package and NEURC independence law as a matter of utmost priority.
In a remarkable feat, Ukraine and Continental Europe successfully synchronised their power grids just weeks after the full-scale invasion began.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Malaysia to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries on building a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said at a meeting with Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hassan here on Thursday.
Wang Yi called on the two countries to fully implement the plans to jointly build the Belt and Road and strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, investment and connectivity. Key projects such as the Malaysian East Coast Railway and the “Two Countries, Twin Parks” should be steadily promoted, he said.
The Foreign Minister also called for in-depth cooperation in new and advanced sectors to jointly establish a regional cooperation center in the field of new quality productive forces.
The Minister stressed the need for further efforts in dialogue between Confucian and Islamic civilizations and the implementation of the soon-to-come agreement on mutual visa-free regime to intensify mutual travel and strengthen the social foundation of bilateral relations.
China is willing to work with Malaysia to enhance political mutual trust, deepen integration of interests, strengthen strategic coordination and develop traditional friendship so as to implement the roadmap drawn up by the leaders of the two countries, Wang said.
According to the minister, China and ASEAN are good neighbors, friends and partners. The two sides have fully concluded negotiations on the Free Trade Area 3.0, demonstrating through concrete actions their commitment to expanding the common market and protecting free trade.
Wang Yi said the US’s imposition of high tariffs on ASEAN members is a typical act of bullying and unilateralism that no country supports. China’s decisive countermeasures are aimed at protecting not only its own interests but also the common interests of all countries, including ASEAN members, he stressed.
China is willing to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN, uphold the multilateral trading system, ensure the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and promote inclusive economic globalization, the foreign minister said.
In turn, M. Hasan said that relations between Malaysia and China are experiencing the best period in history. In the context of growing uncertainty in the world, it is time to strengthen cooperation between Malaysia and China, as well as within the ASEAN, he noted. Malaysia highly values the friendship between the two countries and firmly adheres to the one-China policy, the minister added.
Malaysia supports the three global initiatives put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and is willing to deepen practical cooperation with China in areas such as trade, investment, infrastructure, digital economy and green development, Hasan said.
“In the current circumstances, we can clearly see who the real friends are. When faced with issues like tariffs, Malaysia will not only consider its own interests and will not sacrifice the interests of third parties, ASEAN does not do that,” he stressed. –0–

BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — Closed exclusivity is not an option for China and the country will continue to take practical measures to expand opening up at a high level, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday.
In this way, the diplomat commented at a regular press briefing on media reports according to which China’s visa-free policy shows the world the country’s viability, which is the opposite of the recent tightening of visa requirements and the growing trend towards isolation in some countries.
At present, China has unilaterally introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of 47 countries, and visa-free transit for citizens of another 55 countries, Mao Ning recalled, adding that China has consistently made efforts to simplify the visa application procedure, provide one-stop services to those entering the country, and provide those leaving the country with a tax refund immediately after making a purchase. Thus, trips of foreign friends to China have become more comfortable, the diplomat noted.
“Decoupling and disrupting industrial and supply chains, as well as closed exclusivity, are not options for China,” Mao Ning said.
“China will continue to take high-level measures to expand opening-up, share opportunities and create a common future with all countries,” she added. -0-

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and Cambodian Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhon met here on Thursday. They pledged to further strengthen bilateral ties and cooperation based on mutual benefit.
Wang Yi said that China-Cambodia friendship has stood the test of international vicissitudes and is as strong as a rock.
According to him, in April this year, the leaders of the two countries jointly announced the establishment of an all-weather China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era.
Wang Yi said China and Cambodia should strengthen cooperation under the three global initiatives put forward by China, expand the bilateral cooperation mechanism “Diamond Hexagon”, implement the cooperation plans “Industrial Development Corridor” and “Fish and Rice Corridor”, and promote the implementation of early impact projects.
He expressed hope that the two sides will take more powerful and effective measures to resolutely suppress cross-border crimes such as online gambling, counterfeiting and smuggling, and ensure the security of the two peoples.
Wang Yi stressed that the United States’ imposition of high tariffs on Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries is an attempt to deprive these countries of their legitimate right to development.
“I am confident that Southeast Asian countries are capable of handling difficult situations, adhering to principled positions and protecting their own interests and the common interests of all parties,” he said.
P. Sokhon said China is Cambodia’s most reliable friend. The two leaders have decided to build an all-weather Cambodia-China community with a shared future in the new era, he said, adding that Cambodia firmly supports the three global initiatives put forward by China.
The Foreign Minister thanked China for its selfless assistance in the socio-economic development of Cambodia.
P. Sokhon added that Cambodia is willing to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, deepen practical cooperation in trade, infrastructure and other areas, and jointly combat transnational crimes such as online gambling and fraud.
He also thanked China for granting Cambodia a zero tariff regime for 100 percent of tariffed goods. According to the foreign minister, this is a move by a friend and brother that greatly helps Cambodia and is in sharp contrast to the 36 percent tariff imposed by the United States.
P. Sokhon said Cambodia is ready to resolve differences with the United States through negotiations, but will not compromise its own principles and interests or those of third parties.
P. Sokhon also briefed Wang Yi on the situation on the Cambodia-Thai border. The Chinese minister said that although the positions of Cambodia and Thailand are different, both sides are willing to control the situation and resolve it. He said that Cambodia and Thailand are neighbors that cannot be separated.
“I believe they can properly handle this issue in the spirit of caring for peace and good-neighborliness,” Wang said. “China will maintain an impartial and fair position, respond to the needs of parties concerned and play a constructive role in this regard,” he added. -0-
