CHANGSHA, July 8 (Xinhua) — Wang Yong, former vice chairman of the people's government of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on Tuesday for accepting bribes.

The verdict was handed down by the Intermediate People's Court of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, central China. His case was heard in open court on May 15 this year.

According to the verdict, Wang Yong, also a former member of the SAR government's leadership group, was deprived of political rights for life and all his personal property will be confiscated in favor of the state.

The court found that from 2007 to 2023, Wang Yong, in various positions, abused his official powers to assist other organizations and individuals in winning contracts for contracting projects, thereby illegally enriching himself in the total amount of more than 271 million yuan (about 37.9 million US dollars).

The court ruled that Wang Yun's crimes had caused serious harm to the interests of the state and the people. Meanwhile, based on the fact that the defendant admitted his guilt and repented of his actions, and also assisted in the return of illegally obtained funds, his sentence was reduced. -0-

TEHRAN, July 8 (Xinhua) — Iran has not requested any meetings with the United States, the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Tuesday, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

This is how the diplomat responded to the words of US President Donald Trump, who said the day before that Iran had asked for a meeting.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the United States was ready to negotiate with Iran. “We have a meeting scheduled with Iran, and they want to talk,” he said. “They have requested a meeting, and I am going to attend. If we can put something on paper, that would be good,” the president added.

From April 12 to May 23, Iran and the United States held five rounds of indirect talks on Tehran's nuclear program and the lifting of American sanctions. They were mediated by Oman.

Two days before the sixth round, scheduled for June 15 in the Omani capital Muscat, Israel launched massive airstrikes on a number of Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Tehran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes on Israel.

On June 22, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear facilities: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iran later attacked the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

On June 24, after 12 days of fighting, Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement. –0–

HSE's Project Management Course Receives International Accreditation

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: State University “Higher School of Economics” –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics has received accreditation for teaching the discipline "Project Management" according to the international standard IPMA ICB 4.0.

Accreditation confirms that the Project Management course at the HSB complies with international standards: from the content of the course and the qualifications of teachers to the teaching materials. These requirements are recognized in more than 70 countries, including the USA, China, India, Germany, Great Britain and France.

The Project Management course is implemented as part of various educational programs of the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics – from bachelor's and master's degrees to professional retraining programs and MBA. Particular attention is paid to unified international approaches so that graduates can work in the global market and "speak" with colleagues in the same professional language.

Project management has long gone beyond the scope of narrow professional tools. Today, it is the key to implementing changes and the basis for sustainable growth of companies in an unstable and rapidly changing environment. Modern project management requires specialists to be flexible, able to work with a high degree of uncertainty, think strategically, and have a wide range of methodological approaches – from classical to Agile and hybrid. All this forms the basis for teaching the Project Management discipline at the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

The certificate was issued for two years by the Russian Project Management Association SOVNET, the representative of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in Russia since 1991. To obtain accreditation, the HSE provided a full set of training materials, and the teachers confirmed their qualifications by undergoing certification according to the IPMA system. The assessment was carried out by a commission of national experts authorized by IPMA.

Ilyina Olga Nikolaevna

Associate Professor of the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Director of the Project Management Center of the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics

"Accreditation according to the international IPMA standard is a significant step for the HSB. It confirms that our approach to teaching project management meets the high requirements of the global professional community. For us, this is not only an assessment of quality, but also confirmation that we are developing education in accordance with global trends and preparing specialists who are able to work effectively in an international environment."

International accreditation confirms HSE's commitment to high educational standards and strengthens its reputation as a first-choice business school.
