LONDON, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — Britain's annual consumer price inflation accelerated to 3.8 percent in July from 3.6 percent in June, the highest since January 2024, the country's Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday.

In July, the consumer price index rose by 0.1 percent compared with a fall of 0.2 percent a year earlier.

“Inflation indicators continue to flicker and the July figure was slightly higher than most analysts had forecast,” said Stuart Morrison, research manager at the British Chambers of Commerce. He added that there was little sign that inflation would approach the Bank of England’s 2% target any time soon.

A survey by the British Chambers of Commerce found that inflation remains the main concern for more than half of UK small and medium-sized firms. Mr Morrison said national insurance, wage growth and tariffs were adding to the pressure, while persistent inflation could limit the Bank of England's ability to cut interest rates further.

The UK's Office for National Statistics also said July consumer price index in the UK was significantly higher than preliminary estimates for France and Germany, rising by around 1% and 2% respectively. –0–

The meeting was attended by member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs of China Wang Yi, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan Amir Khan Muttaqi and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan Mohammad Ishaq Dar.

Wang Yi noted that China is ready to deepen trust with Afghanistan and Pakistan, understand and support each other on issues affecting the core interests of the three countries, and resolutely oppose the interference of any external forces in regional affairs, as well as the activities of any organizations or individuals that harm each other's national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.

He said China and Pakistan play a leading role in the international community and among regional neighbors in helping Afghanistan in its stabilization and reconstruction efforts and in expanding Kabul's external relations.

Wang Yi noted that China will continue to defend Afghanistan's interests at multilateral platforms, promote constructive contacts and exchanges between the international community and Afghanistan, and support the Afghan side's efforts to normalize diplomatic relations.

He said China, Afghanistan and Pakistan should expand development cooperation, improve security dialogue mechanisms, deepen law enforcement and security cooperation, step up efforts to combat transnational terrorism, and address the root causes of extremist activities through comprehensive measures on the basis of consensus.

A.H. Muttaqi and M.I. Dar highly appreciated the positive progress achieved by the trilateral Foreign Ministers' Dialogue Mechanism and China's contribution to the development of trilateral cooperation.

A.H. Muttaqi noted that Afghanistan hopes to deepen friendly relations, strengthen coordination and cooperation, and promote further development of trilateral cooperation.

In turn, the Pakistani Foreign Minister said that trilateral cooperation has enormous potential and should be strengthened in various areas to achieve common development.

He said that as a neighbour of Afghanistan, Pakistan is ready to make a greater contribution to advancing the Afghan peace process and improving the living conditions of the Afghan people.

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday condemned the decision by Israel's Supreme Planning Council to approve more than 3,400 housing units in the E1 area of the occupied West Bank, his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

“Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are a violation of international law and in direct contravention of UN resolutions,” the statement said.

“Advancing this project poses a threat to the realization of the principle of ‘two states for two peoples.’ It will lead to a rupture between the northern and southern parts of the West Bank and will have serious consequences for the territorial integrity of the occupied Palestinian territory,” the statement said.

The Secretary-General reiterated his call on the Government of Israel to immediately cease all settlement activity and fully comply with its obligations under international law and act in accordance with relevant UN resolutions and in accordance with the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice of 19 July 2024.

Israel's High Planning Council on Wednesday approved the construction of 3,753 housing units, 3,401 of which are in the E1 area of the Maale Adumim settlement. The project will create a continuous settlement line separating the West Bank from East Jerusalem. –0–
