URUMQI, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) — A training course to improve skills in digitalization and intellectualization for educators and teachers from Uzbekistan has opened at Xinjiang Normal University in Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Over the course of a week, 43 education administrators and teachers from Uzbek educational institutions will undergo training in advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled learning. This initiative is expected to further stimulate exchanges and cooperation between China and Central Asian countries in the educational sector.

At the opening ceremony of the training, Ainivar Aikmu, Rector of Xinjiang Normal University, announced that the training program includes both theoretical training and practical internships, as well as cross-cultural activities and a study tour to local companies and educational institutions.

The training participants noted that they came here to gain greater knowledge about AI technologies to help them better conduct their teaching work. They expressed their willingness to become familiar with modern teaching methods using AI tools and share them with their colleagues back home.

Xinjiang Normal University also plans to launch a similar training course for teachers from Kazakhstan and organize a summer camp for international students in 2026 to progressively advance educational cooperation between China and Central Asian countries, according to the university.

Beijing, February 3 (Xinhua) — As the traditional Chinese Spring Festival (Chinese Spring Festival, or Lunar New Year) approaches, trucks loaded with frozen aquatic products imported from Russia are leaving the border trade zone of Tongjiang City for inland China. This is a striking illustration of the revitalization of trade between residents of the border areas of this city, which borders the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia across the Heilongjiang (Amur) River.

According to customs data, last year's trade volume between residents of border areas in Tongjiang City (Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China) reached 927.95 tons, or 9.78 million yuan (approximately $1.41 million) in value. Both figures jumped 285.8 percent and 258.6 percent year-on-year, respectively, and reached new historical highs, the online news portal chinanews.com.cn reported, noting that Tongjiang's border trade has become a powerful driver of regional economic development.

The successes achieved are due to a number of effective measures. In particular, under the leadership of the local customs service in Tongjiang, a cooperative was established. This synergized the efforts of border residents involved in cross-border trade to organize the import of packaged food products and aquatic products from Russia. This significantly improved the efficiency of customs clearance and increased the income of local importers.

The Customs Service, for its part, is actively implementing an innovative model for monitoring border trade using digital technologies to optimize customs procedures, while also implementing a highly efficient "brought and inspected, inspected and cleared" approach for imported goods. At the same time, the list of goods permitted for import has been expanded from the initial list of frozen aquatic products and flour to seven items, including honey, baked goods, and salted aquatic products.

"Border trade, on the one hand, is linked to the state strategy of expanding external opening-up, and on the other, it is related to increasing the income of local residents. This defines our mission as both reliable guardians of the state gate and conscientious assistants to local merchants," summarized Wang Yubo, head of the Border Trade Supervision Department at Tongjiang Customs. -0-

BEIJING, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) — China has launched a new freight rail route linking Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, with Azerbaijan's capital Baku via the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR).

The first train on this route departed on Monday from the Nanchang International Land Port, carrying marble products, cotton fabric, wallpaper, and other goods to the port of Baku. It will cross the border at the Khorgos checkpoint and travel through Kazakhstan before crossing the Caspian Sea, local media reported.

The new freight transport route using the Nanchang International Transport Route (TITR) will reduce transit time from the previous 50 days to 18 days, eliminating the need to bypass the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. It will also minimize cargo damage and the costs of multiple transshipments associated with long-distance sea transport, and reduce exporters' logistics costs by an average of 15-20 percent, according to the Nanchang Railway Logistics Service Center.

According to the planned schedule, after goods are delivered along the new route to Baku, which functions as a key hub for international multimodal freight transport along the Trans-Caucasian International Transport Route (TITR), they can then be transported to Turkey and a number of other countries and regions around the world.

According to the railway department, there are currently 13 routes operating in Jiangxi Province for international rail freight transport between China and Europe and China and Central Asia, covering more than 200 countries and regions around the world and serving over 500 foreign trade enterprises.
