In early July, Qingdao, Shandong Province, hosted the event “SCO Youth: Qingdao Encounter” for young people from Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries. Over the course of seven days, 100 students from 30 countries, including Pakistan and Tajikistan, learned about Chinese intangible cultural heritage, visited advanced technology enterprises, studied urban development, and met friends from all over the world.

In recent years, the SCO has consistently held various events, including youth camps, forums on the development of the young generation, educational and practical programs, innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, etc. These events have planted the seeds of friendship in the hearts of the youth of the SCO countries, and have also attracted more and more young men and women to actively participate in the development of the SCO.

As one of the founding members of the SCO, China has always attached great importance to youth exchanges.

From the adoption of the “Joint Address of the Heads of State of the SCO Member States to the Youth” at the Qingdao Summit in 2018 to the establishment of the China-SCO Youth Exchange Center and large-scale programs to invite young people from SCO countries to China, China has always worked hard to create various platforms to strengthen exchanges among the new generation of SCO countries.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — After a long period of unipolar dominance by the West, the world is entering an era of a more multipolar and just order, and this order will be linked to the development of the Global South, Maria Soloshcheva, deputy director of the Institute of Oriental and African Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg, told Xinhua News Agency.

According to her, it was during the era of the West's unconditional dominance that the bloodiest military conflicts in human history occurred, and an unprecedented division of countries into rich and poor arose. In addition, the unfair distribution of global resources and material goods put hundreds of millions of people on the brink of physical survival.

The Russian expert emphasized that the future economic, political and cultural development of humanity is connected with the strengthening of such supranational international structures as the SCO, BRICS, ASEAN and others. “The goal of the development of the Global South is not to defeat the Global West, take its place and repeat its mistakes, but to form and make accessible a humanitarian image of the world,” she noted.

The massive rise of the Global South and its contribution to building a multipolar world, in her opinion, should be accompanied by the development of the human personality. In this regard, the expert particularly emphasized the humanitarian content of the Belt and Road Initiative, which has already transformed into a global international movement.

“The Belt and Road is not based on the selfish, egoistic interests of individual states, nations and social groups, but on the desire to generalize the interests of individual peoples into a universal civilizational form – a community with a common destiny for humanity,” said M. Soloshcheva.

According to the Russian expert, the emergence and active work of interstate associations, as well as regional and interregional unions, which include a wide variety of countries, indicate that “globalization from below,” that is, by the will of peoples and countries, is proving to be just as effective as “globalization from above,” when it was led by a group of leading Western countries. –0–

In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, on the borders of the Gurbantungut and Taklamakan deserts, there are national wetland parks such as Manas and Lalikun.

As important ecological reserves on the northern slope of the Tianshan and southern Xinjiang, they are located on the routes of migratory birds and are critical to maintaining the ecological safety of watersheds, preserving biodiversity and maintaining the stability of oases.

In recent years, through restoration measures such as returning cropland to wetlands, ecological replenishment of water resources and the establishment of desert buffer zones, Xinjiang has made significant progress in protecting wetlands.

HONG KONG, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — The Office of the Special Representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) on Wednesday lodged a strong protest against the so-called "2024 World Human Rights Report" released recently by the U.S. State Department.

The document ignores the reality and deliberately denigrates the human rights and rule of law situation in China and the Hong Kong SAR, the official said. The United States, turning a blind eye to its own dismal human rights record, fabricated false information in the report about the so-called “deteriorating” human rights situation in Hong Kong, he said.

He noted that the United States, by raising individual court cases involving anti-China and anti-Xiangang elements, fully exposes the vile intentions of the United States: to politicize human rights issues, use them as a tool, and restrain China's development through Xiangang. Such methods are deeply contemptible, the official added.

The spokesperson stressed that Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law, where laws must be upheld and violators must be held accountable. He noted that the Hong Kong SAR administration impartially handles legal cases and resolutely deals with acts that threaten national security, which is a necessary measure to safeguard national security and the authority of law and does not deserve reproach.

In fact, the official representative stated, since the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Regulations on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region came into effect, the rights and freedoms of its residents and the media have been fully guaranteed. Today, Hong Kong is the freest economy in the world, ranks third in the ranking of international financial centers, and is also among the world leaders in such indicators as "global competitiveness", "talent competitiveness" and "investment climate". This clearly demonstrates the recognition and trust that Hong Kong has earned from the international community, he added.

The central government firmly supports the HKSAR administration in safeguarding national security in accordance with the law and punishing crimes that endanger national security, the spokesperson concluded, calling on the US to immediately stop slandering Hong Kong and interfering in China's internal affairs. -0-

TALLINN, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — The Estonian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday declared the first secretary of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn persona non grata and demanded that the diplomat leave the country.

According to the department, the corresponding decision was transmitted to the Russian chargé d'affaires in Estonia along with an official note.

The Estonian Foreign Ministry indicated that the Russian diplomat was directly and actively involved in undermining the constitutional order and legal system of Estonia, dividing society, and also facilitating the commission of crimes against the state.

Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that the Russian Embassy's constant interference in Estonia's internal affairs must cease. "The expulsion is a clear signal: there will be no room for coordinated and organised actions by a foreign state on our territory," the Estonian minister stressed.

Commenting on the decision taken by the Estonian Foreign Ministry, Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexey Fadeyev stated that Estonia’s expulsion of a Russian diplomat is not the first hostile action on the part of Tallinn, and Moscow will work out retaliatory steps.

“This is not the first such hostile action on the part of Estonia. It must be said that we have even become accustomed to this,” he noted. “As for retaliatory steps, they are usually worked out for some time and then made public. Therefore, we will provide a timely commentary on what measures we will take against Estonian diplomats.” –0–
