Ürümqi, March 31 (Xinhua) — The Turgat border crossing point in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region recently announced that the Bedel crossing point in Xinjiang has been temporarily opened since March 26. This temporary operation will last until the end of this year. Ultimately, once the crossing point is permanently opened, this will optimize the structure of land border crossings on the Chinese-Kyrgyz border and open a new corridor for cross-border transportation.

The Bedel checkpoint is located at an altitude of 2,754 meters above sea level in a mountainous area with harsh natural conditions. During temporary operation, the checkpoint is permitted to allow the passage of people, baggage, and passenger vehicles. Particular attention is paid to the temporary import and export of construction equipment, materials, and materials necessary for the cross-border road project, ensuring its smooth progress.

Truck driver Sun Dongqing, who has worked on the Chinese-Kyrgyz cross-border transport line for many years, noted that previously, they had to detour through other checkpoints—the journey was long, the costs were high, and there was often a risk of delays in completing projects.

"Now that the Bedel checkpoint is open, the distance has been reduced, a pre-registration system is in place, and special green lanes have been designated. The checkpoint procedures are simple and security is quick," the driver shared.

Wang Hongming, project manager at China Communications Construction Group Co., Ltd., said that previously, cross-border transportation of construction materials for the project required detours through other checkpoints, leading to high logistics costs.

"The temporary opening of the Bedel checkpoint, the introduction of a pre-registration system, and special channels have significantly simplified customs procedures and increased the efficiency of inspections. This has not only significantly reduced the cost of cross-border delivery of construction materials but also ensured construction deadlines and the stability of supply chains," he emphasized.

The temporary opening of the Bedel checkpoint will contribute to the further expansion of the cross-border transport corridor between China and Kyrgyzstan, deepening the interconnectivity of the two countries' transport infrastructure, and will also give new impetus to regional trade and economic cooperation and humanitarian exchanges. -0-

RN-Yuganskneftegaz, the Company's key production asset, held its annual specialized technology forum to summarize best practices in the implementation of innovative drilling and well development technologies.

This year, the event was attended by representatives of Rosneft subsidiaries and leading service organizations across the country. Specialists shared new technological solutions and the results of pilot tests.

RN-Yuganskneftegaz, an industry leader in key well drilling performance indicators, is constantly improving its approaches. Among the most effective solutions are logging while drilling directional wells, rotating casing, and running liners on tubing. These measures shorten the well construction cycle and reduce the risk of complications.

The company has developed and implemented 118 drill bit designs. These designs are regularly updated to meet the requirements of mining and geological conditions, enabling high penetration rates.

Another project presented is torque-boosting rings – technological equipment elements that improve the ability of casing strings to withstand high torque loads during drilling, which increases the reliability of lowering in difficult conditions.

Following a detailed review of the submitted innovative projects, best practices will be recommended for implementation and replication at the Company's facilities.

Reference:

RN-Yuganskneftegaz develops fields in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra covering a total area of over 21,000 square kilometers. The company's cumulative production since its inception amounts to 2.8 billion tons of oil.

Following the 2025 technology forum, 11 technology projects were recommended for implementation at the enterprise.

Escalating conflict in the Middle East is wiping out a year of economic growth in the Arab region.

March 31, 2026 Peace and security

The military escalation in the Middle East, now in its fifth week, could lead to a significant setback in socio-economic development in Arab countries. This is the main conclusion of a report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), presented on Tuesday in Amman, Jordan.

According to preliminary estimates by UNDP experts, the region risks losing between 3.7 and 6 percent of its total GDP, or $120–194 billion. This amount exceeds the entire economic growth achieved in the Arab region by 2025. At the same time, unemployment could rise by four percentage points, equivalent to the loss of 3.6 million jobs. Up to four million people could fall below the poverty line.

The authors of the UNDP analytical report emphasize that even a short-term conflict can cause “profound and widespread socio-economic consequences that will persist for a long time.”

The most severe macroeconomic losses are projected for the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, where high dependence on trade and energy markets makes the economies particularly vulnerable. In this subregion, the decline in GDP could reach 5.2–8.7 percent.

The sharpest increase in poverty—by five percent—is expected in the Eastern Mediterranean, where an additional 2.85–3.3 million people could find themselves without means of subsistence. This would account for more than 75 percent of the total increase in poverty in the region.

In the least developed Arab countries, the impact will also be significant, given the low baseline resilience of their economies. In North Africa, the potential impact of the conflict is assessed as moderate.

According to Abdallah Al-Dardari, Director of the UNDP Regional Bureau for the Arab States, the crisis should serve as a signal for a rethinking of development strategies in the Middle East. He emphasized the need to diversify the economy, strengthen logistics, and expand partnerships to reduce vulnerability to potential shocks and conflicts.

The UNDP also warned of a decline in the Human Development Index: a 0.2–0.4 percent drop is expected for the region as a whole, corresponding to a setback of six months or even a year. In the Gulf countries, the decline could be even more significant—up to two years of development.

KAMAZ PJSC procurement specialists held another career guidance event at the Kalkan Police Cadet School in Naberezhnye Chelny.

KAMAZ Day was aimed at seventh-grade students from the Kalkan Police Cadet School. Specialists explained the company's history, structure, and the technologies used in truck production. The students were particularly interested in the professions in demand at KAMAZ.

Next, together with their mentors, the children explored several professions during an interactive game – the students were invited to try their hand at being a designer, a technologist, and even a robot. The class was divided into two teams. While the designers created suitable "work clothes" for their robots, the lead technologist studied the assignment. He had to write down the robot's instructions – a program of actions – on separate sheets of paper. In the event of a malfunction, the teams had two attempts to correct the instructions.

Friendship and a passion for knowledge, including programming, emerged victorious in the competition, and all efforts were rewarded with commemorative prizes.

From April 8 to 22, Russian universities will host the 12th annual youth festival on sustainable development, "VuzEcoFest." The project is being organized by the Territory of Sustainable Development Autonomous Nonprofit Organization (ANO). We have been the project's information partner for several years.

"VuzEcoFest" is a youth project aimed at building a community of mentor leaders and, ultimately, professionals in sustainable development who disseminate knowledge and skills and implement concrete sustainable solutions at universities, cities, and countries with the support of stakeholders (university administrations, businesses, NGOs, and government agencies). This year's festival theme is the "blue" economy.

Thirty-four universities participating in VuzEcoFest-2026 from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus will organize themed events, including business games, master classes, quizzes, scientific seminars, lectures, career guidance lessons, film screenings, excursions, and more. A detailed program of events will be available atwebsite.

"The theme of the 12th youth festival 'VuzEcoFest' is 'Blue Economy.' Water is a strategic resource, and preserving its reserves is a matter of national security. We need leaders and professionals who can think outside the box and make innovative decisions, leading people, science, and technology. I hope the 'VuzEcoFest' project will create new opportunities for talented young people and provide a powerful impetus to the crucial task of preserving and rationally using Russia's water resources," said Alexander Kozlov, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation.

The official opening of the festival will take place on April 8 at the site of the winning university in the 2025 University Race, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. From April 8 to 22, the 2026 University Race will also take place, during which participating universities will develop profiles on the year's theme, identify challenges in their regions, and propose solutions and projects. This year, special attention will also be paid to environmental education for children: events will be held under the "VuzEcoFest.Children" track to strengthen interaction between students and schoolchildren.

"Undergraduates and postgraduates are the future of our country. Russia is creating opportunities for them to become leading researchers and developers of new solutions and technologies for sustainable development. The theme of the 'blue' economy, chosen for this year's festival, opens up vast opportunities for scientific research aimed at preserving marine resources and utilizing aquatic ecosystems for the benefit of future generations," noted Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

Samaraneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft) reduced energy consumption by 54 million kWh in 2025 following the implementation of energy conservation measures, with an economic effect of approximately 288 million rubles.

The company implemented over 2,000 program activities, the main focus of which was the introduction of innovative equipment and energy-saving technologies in artificial lift operations and key production infrastructure facilities. High-efficiency submersible electric centrifugal pumps, high-voltage electric motors, and energy-efficient transformers were installed at the wells.

One of the key areas of focus is optimizing energy consumption by reservoir pressure maintenance system pumping units—one of the most energy-intensive pieces of equipment. As a result of pump upgrades at several facilities, their capacity increased from 180 m³/h to 240 m³/h, saving over 4 million kWh.

The results of the 2025 energy management system audit confirmed the effectiveness of Samaraneftegaz's systematic work in this area, including continuous monitoring of energy consumption.

Improving the efficiency of production assets is a key priority of Rosneft's strategy. The Company's enterprises systematically implement measures aimed at increasing energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and optimizing electrical loads and thermal processes.

Reference:

Samaraneftegaz, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, conducts production activities in the Samara and Orenburg regions.

The company's cumulative production since the start of field development in 1936 exceeds 1.3 billion tons of oil.
