Turkmenbashi /Turkmenistan/, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — The third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries concluded Friday at the Avaza National Tourist Zone in the Turkmen city of Turkmenbashi. The event, which was held from Aug. 5 to 8, was attended by representatives of more than 30 countries. The participants discussed expanding cooperation and a comprehensive approach to addressing humanitarian, economic, social and environmental problems of landlocked countries.

As UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted, many developing countries face financial difficulties and lack a voice in global financial governance. He called on the international community to create conditions so that developing countries without seaports can also benefit from scientific and technological progress.

The conference participants decided to establish a Group on Landlocked Developing Countries under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This, in their opinion, will allow for more effective solutions to the problems associated with the vulnerability of these countries to increasingly frequent natural disasters.

The conference also endorsed the new Avaza Agenda for Action until 2034, which aims to become a concrete plan for deepening partnerships and creating conditions for sustainable development in the Global South.

There are 32 landlocked countries in the world. Their combined area is approximately 12 percent of the world's land surface and their population is approximately 570 million people. –0–

CARACAS, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — The Venezuelan government on Thursday condemned U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's announcement of a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro.

According to the country's Foreign Minister Ivan Hil, this is a "crude political propaganda operation."

On his social media page, I. Gil stated that the US proposal has neither a legal nor a moral basis and serves the political interests of the far right in the US and Venezuela.

He recalled that Venezuela has repeatedly condemned covert operations and destabilizing plots by the United States, many of which have been thwarted by the South American country's security agencies.

“The paltry award is the most ridiculous smokescreen we have ever seen,” wrote I. Khil, calling the move a media maneuver aimed at distracting attention from the real domestic problems of the United States. –0–

KINSHASA, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Friday reshuffled its government amid a worsening security crisis in the country's east.

Presidential spokeswoman Tina Salama told state television that the new cabinet was formed after nationwide consultations to ensure efficiency and credibility, as well as political, geographic and socio-cultural balance.

Initially, it was announced that the government would be smaller than the one formed in May 2024, but the cabinet size has only decreased by one person, to 54 members. Judith Suminwa Tuluka remains prime minister.

Opposition figure Adolphe Muzito, who served as prime minister under former President Joseph Kabila, has joined the new inclusive cabinet as deputy prime minister in charge of the budget.

In late February, DRC President Felix Tshisekedi announced sweeping political changes, including plans to create a “government of national unity” to prevent the security crisis in the eastern part of the country from escalating into a wider regional conflict.

The situation in eastern DRC has been tense for decades due to ethnic tensions, local militias and foreign rebel groups operating across porous borders. The biggest threat is the March 23 Movement, which re-emerged in the region in late 2021. –0–
