Tashkent, March 4 (Xinhua) — Strengthening Uzbekistan's defense capability was discussed in a meeting, the presidential press service reported on Tuesday.

"On March 3, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, on strengthening the country's defense capability," the statement said.

As reported, issues of further strengthening the country's defense potential, ensuring its military security, and the implementation of priority tasks identified at the expanded meeting of the Security Council on January 13 of this year were discussed.

"It was emphasized that hotbeds of tension and conflict persist globally, geopolitical competition is intensifying, and the risks of new threats and challenges are growing. In the context of an unstable international situation, where military actions in certain regions are leading to serious humanitarian and economic consequences, strengthening the country's defense capability and ensuring its security is of particular importance," the statement reads.

The Minister of Defense reported on the work being done to increase the combat readiness of troops, the operational training of units and subunits, equipping them with modern weapons and equipment, and developing the infrastructure of military-administrative sectors.

Particular attention was reportedly paid to studying the best practices of developed countries and combat experience, as well as implementing modern approaches to military command and training. In particular, the need for widespread use of new technologies, including unmanned systems and digital command and control solutions, to improve troop effectiveness was noted.

Specific tasks have also been identified for modernizing and developing the infrastructure of military-administrative sectors, training grounds, educational institutions, and logistics facilities in accordance with modern requirements.

It is noted that instructions have been given to consistently continue improving the military personnel training system, strengthen scientific research, and expand programs aimed at mastering modern weapons and technologies.

“At the end of the meeting, the head of state set tasks for the further development of the Armed Forces and strengthening the country's defense capability,” the statement said. –0–

Vienna, March 4 (Xinhua) — The nuclear disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, although caused by a natural disaster, was essentially a man-made disaster that exposed serious deficiencies in Japan's nuclear regulatory system. This was stated by China's Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Li Song, speaking at the March meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors in Vienna this week on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

Li Song called on the IAEA to continue long-term monitoring of the accident's aftermath and to exercise strict oversight of Japan in accordance with the highest global nuclear safety standards and best practices.

Japan, ignoring serious concerns and objections from the international community, particularly its neighbors, has begun discharging radioactively contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean, thereby spreading nuclear safety risks beyond its borders. Such actions are highly irresponsible and contrary to the principles of international moral responsibility, Li Song emphasized.

He said China firmly opposes Japan's discharge of radioactively contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea and supports the IAEA in establishing and continuously improving an independent, objective and effective long-term international monitoring mechanism.

Japan must face history with courage, effectively strengthen nuclear safety regulations at the national level, address potential safety risks, and consciously agree to international oversight. "This would be the appropriate course of action, not an attempt to conceal problems or downplay their severity," Li Song noted.

He stated that China supports the IAEA in its efforts to actively fulfill its responsibilities and provide assistance to Japan and oversee the complex tasks associated with the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and the disposal of radioactive waste, in accordance with the highest global nuclear safety standards, the strictest requirements and best practices of IAEA Member States. –0–

WASHINGTON, March 4 (Xinhua) — U.S. Senate Democrats on Tuesday criticized President Donald Trump's "unconstitutional" war on Iran, calling on Republicans to "have the courage" to vote with Democrats to curb the president's war powers ahead of an expected Senate vote.

"It's been four days since the Trump administration dragged the United States into a war that most Americans oppose, and his administration can't explain why we did it. I left the intelligence briefing more concerned than reassured," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters at a Capitol Hill briefing.

"The reasons change by the hour: regime change, nuclear weapons, missiles, defense, preventative measures, so what's the reason? When the rationale keeps changing, there's no strategy. There's no strategy," he said.

Senator Patty Murray, vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, who also attended the briefing, said that "D. Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for."

"Congress must end this war now. Republicans must have the courage to vote with Democrats to support the War Powers Resolution," she said.

The War Powers Act is a 1973 United States federal law designed to limit the president's ability to use U.S. military forces in armed conflicts without congressional approval.

The law limits military action without congressional approval to a narrow set of circumstances: “a national emergency caused by an attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”

While the law gives Congress the ability to quickly curb the president's war powers through a joint resolution, it remains unclear whether such a resolution targeting Iran could gain enough support to pass both chambers, given that most Republicans support U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

The Senate is expected to vote on the war powers resolution as early as Wednesday. –0–

BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhua) — As two major countries, China and the United States should respect each other, coexist peacefully and pursue win-win cooperation, Lou Qingjian, spokesperson for the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), said Wednesday at a press conference held a day before the opening of the session.

Noting that head-of-state diplomacy plays an indispensable strategic guiding role in China-US relations, Lou Qinjian said that if both sides faithfully implement the important agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries, adhere to an approach based on equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit, and work to expand the list of cooperation projects and reduce the list of negative issues, bilateral relations will be able to develop steadily.

China is willing to work with the US to strengthen contacts at all levels and through all channels, thereby creating a broader space for bilateral cooperation, Lou Qinjian said.

At the same time, China has its own principles and red lines and will continue to resolutely defend its sovereignty, security and development interests, he added.

Lou Qinjian, praising the exchanges between the NPC and the US Congress last year, said the NPC is willing to maintain contacts and exchanges with the US Congress and make legislative contributions to the steady and healthy development of China-US relations.

“We hope that the US Congress will take an objective and rational view of China and its development and will make more efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and friendship between our peoples,” he added. -0-

Beijing, March 4 (Xinhua) — China advocates the creation of an open, fair, equitable, and non-discriminatory global environment for scientific and technological development, while prioritizing self-reliance in key technologies. Lou Qinjian, spokesperson for the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, made this statement at a press conference on Wednesday.

Lou Qingjian noted that scientific and technological innovation cannot be achieved without an open, inclusive, and mutually beneficial global ecosystem.

Responding to a question about the rapid development of humanoid robots in China, he emphasized that robots' ability to sense, think, make decisions, and act like humans requires global cooperation in this area. At the same time, the emergence and widespread use of humanoid robots will create new challenges in ethics, social governance, and other areas that also require collective solutions from the international community.

According to him, the key to innovation and development in the scientific and technical sphere currently lies in the availability of our own key technologies that are risk-controlled.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), China will strengthen original innovation and strive to achieve decisive breakthroughs in major key technologies, Lou Qinjian said. -0-

BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhua) — China's non-state-owned economy is seeing even greater prospects as the Law on Promoting the Development of the Non-State-owned Economy is further implemented, Lou Qinjian, spokesperson for the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), announced at a press conference on Wednesday.

It's time for private enterprises and entrepreneurs to come into their own, Lou Qingjian said.

He noted that the main course and policy of the party and the state regarding the development of the non-state sector of the economy will be firmly upheld and strictly implemented; they cannot be changed and will not change.

These steps have created favorable conditions for the growth of the non-state sector of the economy, Lou Qingjian emphasized. -0-

Ashgabat, March 4 (Xinhua) — The first group of 25 Chinese citizens evacuated from Iran to Turkmenistan on Tuesday departed for home early Wednesday morning local time.

On Tuesday evening, the evacuees arrived at Ashgabat International Airport, the capital of Turkmenistan, where a team from the Chinese Embassy assisted them with flight check-in. Zhong Hua, Chargé d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Turkmenistan, met with the Chinese citizens at the airport, expressing her sympathy and support.

"The motherland will always be a reliable support for Chinese citizens abroad. The Party and government always care about the safety of every Chinese citizen abroad. The embassy supports our Chinese compatriots and does everything possible to ensure their safety," she said, wishing the evacuees a safe and peaceful return home.

According to a statement from the Chinese Embassy in Turkmenistan, a group of evacuees entered Turkmenistan through the Serakhs border crossing on Tuesday afternoon local time and then departed on buses provided by the embassy.

Chinese student Ma Hailun, studying in Iran, said in a phone interview with Xinhua: “When we first learned about the war, we were terrified, afraid that shells would fall on us at any moment. Luckily, we quickly contacted the Chinese Embassy in Iran, and our hearts were finally at peace. We felt as if our parents were taking care of us when we were children—it gave us a tremendous sense of security.”

Ma Hailun said that after passing through the Serakhs checkpoint in Turkmenistan, the embassy staff had already taken all the necessary measures. "They did a lot for us and made a tremendous effort. We were very touched and felt truly cared for."

In early March, the Chinese Embassy in Turkmenistan issued a notice and immediately dispatched a task force to the border crossing to provide necessary assistance to Chinese citizens transiting Turkmenistan on their way back to China. The diplomatic mission stated that it will continue to make every effort to assist Chinese citizens evacuated from Iran and facilitate their unimpeded return home.
