BEIJING, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng on Monday called for all-out efforts to ensure safe, smooth and comfortable travel for the public during the Chunyun period, a special period of transportation operations due to mass internal migration before, during and after the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year).

He Lifeng, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the call while inspecting transportation hubs in Beijing and Tianjin on the first day of the Chunyun period in 2026.

The annual Chunyun period, which represents the world's largest population migration, places enormous strain on China's transportation system.

The Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council called on transport agencies to thoroughly and fully implement all measures to ensure transport safety. He emphasized the need to strengthen monitoring, early warning, and response to extreme weather conditions and geological disasters.

He Lifeng also called for continued care and support for frontline transport workers throughout the 40-day Chunyun period.

St. Petersburg, February 2 (Xinhua) — Russian police have disrupted the activities of an organized fraudulent group in the Leningrad Region. The regional press service of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported this on Monday.

Law enforcement officers detained two Russian citizens in rented apartments in the city of Murino and the village of Novoye Devyatkino, who were closely collaborating with fraudulent call centers in Ukraine. A 20-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man operated "SIM boxes" that allowed calls from abroad while concealing their actual location. At least 5,000 fraudulent calls were processed daily through the communications center they set up. The suspects have been linked to 50 criminal cases opened in Russia.

Police seized two gateways, two laptops with specialized software, two routers, 19 phones containing correspondence and instructions from supervisors, more than 3,500 SIM cards, and seven bank cards. Criminal cases have been opened for fraud and illegal use of communications equipment.

Tehran, February 2 (Xinhua) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the start of nuclear talks with the United States, the semi-official Iranian news agency Fars reported on Monday, citing an unnamed government source.

Quoting Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei's statement earlier in the day, Fars added that talks between Tehran and Washington are likely to take place in Turkey in the next few days.

Meanwhile, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter, also confirmed that senior officials from the two sides are likely to begin talks in the coming days.

According to Tasnim, the talks will likely take place between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steven Witkoff. The agency added that the venue and exact date of the meeting have not yet been finalized.

These events are taking place against a backdrop of continuing high tensions between Tehran and Washington amid the escalation of US military activity in the Middle East. In late January, the Trump administration dispatched a carrier strike group and several warships to the region.

Tehran, February 2 (Xinhua) — Iran is exploring the details and general outlines of a possible start to negotiations with the United States. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated this at a weekly press conference on Monday, commenting on Western media reports that talks between Tehran and Washington could begin in the next few days in Turkey.

E. Bagai noted that Iran is at the decision-making stage and is taking into account various aspects and points of view on this issue, emphasizing that time is of the essence, “as we have seen abuses by the other side in the negotiation process at certain stages of previous discussions.”

He said that countries in the region are acting as mediators, passing messages between the two sides.

Over the past decade, Iran has repeatedly faced deception and non-compliance from the United States, which culminated in June last year when Israel and the United States launched an air strike on the country, Baghaei said, adding that the other side's behavior was "clearly contradictory."

E. Bagai stated that Iran has always proven its commitment to diplomatic approaches and the use of diplomacy to advance national interests and protect collective peace in the region.

The lifting or reduction of US sanctions would be an achievement for Iran, whenever that happens, he noted, stressing that Iran demands sanctions relief as a priority in exchange for building confidence and addressing concerns about the nature of its nuclear program.

Tensions between Tehran and Washington remain high amid increased American military activity in the region. In late January, the Trump administration dispatched a carrier strike group and several warships to the Middle East.

On Sunday, Donald Trump said that if Tehran does not reach a nuclear deal with Washington, "we will know" whether Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was right in warning that a US attack could trigger a war in the region.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CNN that a "fair, just, and equitable" nuclear deal with the US remains achievable in the short term, provided Washington abandons its coercive policies. –0–

Moscow, February 2 (Xinhua) – Russia's terms for a Ukrainian settlement were formulated by President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Russian Foreign Ministry in June 2024 and remain unchanged. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in an interview published Monday by TASS, Reuters, and the Wargonzo project.

"As for the conditions, they are public. They were first formulated by the Russian President when he addressed a meeting of the Foreign Ministry," Dmitry Medvedev noted, adding that they "remain unchanged."

According to the Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council, these conditions—eliminating the root causes that led to the crisis—were “retransmitted to American colleagues during the meeting in Anchorage.”

D. Medvedev also noted that there's an issue in the Ukrainian settlement "that, for some reason, is constantly being pulled out of the sleeve with a persistence worthy of a better cause." This concerns the deployment of a foreign military contingent on Ukrainian territory as a security guarantee. "We have spoken about this repeatedly—our head of state, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I have stated in several places that we do not accept such methods of implementing guarantees," the deputy head of the Russian Security Council stated.

He emphasized that security guarantees on the Ukrainian issue cannot be unilateral. "These are not guarantees for Ukraine, but for both sides: the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Otherwise, such guarantees are not effective," D. Medvedev stated.

San Jose, February 2 (Xinhua) — Costa Rica's ruling Sovereign People's Party (SPN) candidate Laura Fernández celebrated her victory in the presidential election on Sunday, receiving 48.3 percent of the vote.

L. Fernandez celebrated the occasion with her supporters in downtown San José, pledging her commitment to continuing the transformation the country needs and leading a dialogue-oriented government.

According to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, after counting ballots from 93.8 percent of polling stations, L. Fernández led Álvaro Ramos of the National Liberation Party, who received 33.4 percent of the vote, and Claudia Dobles of the Civic Agenda Coalition, who received 4.9 percent. In Costa Rica, a candidate must receive more than 40 percent of the vote to win in the first round.

L. Fernández has already received congratulations from Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chávez and El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. She stated that this electoral success marks the beginning of a new chapter in Costa Rica's history, which she called the "Third Republic."

“Costa Rica voted to continue change—change aimed solely at saving and improving our democratic institutions and returning them to you, the sovereign people, to strengthen the well-being and prosperity of our country,” L. Fernandez emphasized.

“The enthusiasm is enormous, and the sense of responsibility I feel in taking on the task of completing these democratic reforms and implementing change is colossal,” she added.

L. Fernández emphasized that her government will prioritize national dialogue and called on the opposition to engage constructively. Her opponents acknowledged defeat but pledged to defend Costa Rica's democracy through their representatives in the Legislative Assembly (the unicameral parliament).

The election winner pledged to combat crime in the country by declaring a state of emergency to liberate criminal-controlled areas and by utilizing a new prison, which is being built under the current administration.

In the economic sphere, L. Fernandez proposed expanding public-private partnerships to improve infrastructure, attract more foreign investment, and eliminate bureaucratic barriers that hinder economic activity. –0–
