Moscow, January 28 (Xinhua) — Trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine on a Ukrainian settlement are planned to continue in Abu Dhabi on February 1. Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.

"Negotiations are scheduled for February 1st. Well, tentatively, but that's what we're working on for now," TASS quoted him as saying.

A Kremlin spokesman called the negotiation process very complex. "These negotiations are on a very sensitive topic. They are very complex negotiations. And discussing any specific aspects publicly during the negotiations is detrimental to the negotiations," said D. Peskov.

According to him, Russia is not discussing specific documents for resolving the Ukrainian crisis. "We are not currently discussing any lists of documents. We believe this should all be done discretely, behind closed doors, which is what is happening," the Russian leader's press secretary said, commenting on the Ukrainian side's claims that two peace agreements will be signed following the talks in Abu Dhabi.

Minsk, January 28 (Xinhua) – Belarus is focusing on strategic deterrence amid the militarization of the West. This was stated by State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Alexander Volfovich on Wednesday. The corresponding information was published by the Belta news agency.

According to A. Volfovich, Western European countries, including those bordering Belarus, are currently actively militarizing, increasing military spending, expanding their armed forces, and conducting large-scale exercises, including near the borders of the Union State of Belarus and Russia.

"We see an aggressive policy, militarization, and a military presence in neighboring states. Belarus is focusing on strategic deterrence and the deployment of weapons on its territory—deterrent weapons. These include tactical nuclear weapons, the Oreshnik short-range operational-tactical complex, and other assets aimed primarily at preventing aggression," the Security Council State Secretary stated.

He also noted that Western countries are attempting to justify their militarization plans with imaginary threats from the East, from Russia and Belarus, which is absurd. He emphasized that Belarus is not increasing its armed forces or military spending, is not conducting exercises near its borders, and is not resettling people from border areas to build engineering infrastructure.

"We are for peace, for dialogue, for good-neighborly relations. Our policies and documents, including the Constitution, the National Security Concept, and the Military Doctrine, are aimed at building constructive dialogue and good-neighborliness, and a mutually respectful attitude toward all states, both large and small," concluded A. Volfovich.

BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Beijing on Wednesday, beginning a four-day official visit to China.

In August 2024, at the initiative of the British side, a telephone conversation took place between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Keir Starmer, and in November of the same year, during the Chinese President's participation in the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, they met, which put Sino-British relations on the path of improvement and development.

During Starmer's visit, which will be the first by a British Prime Minister to China in eight years, Xi Jinping will meet with him, Premier Li Qiang will hold talks with him, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Zhao Leji will also meet with Starmer. The two sides are expected to have an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.

In addition to Beijing, he will also visit Shanghai.

Since the UK Labour government came to power, it has made clear its commitment to developing a coherent, strong and strategic relationship with China and actively promoting dialogue and cooperation between the two countries.

K. Starmer leads a delegation comprising senior executives from over 50 major British firms and representatives of British institutions. They represent the country's leading sectors, including finance, medicine, manufacturing, and culture.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that China wants to use the visit as an opportunity to strengthen political mutual trust with the UK, deepen practical cooperation, jointly write a new chapter in the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations, and work together for global peace, security, and stability. -0-

BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) — The North Chinese port city of Tianjin, which successfully hosted the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in September 2025, intends to actively implement the outcomes of the summit over the next five years to expand its high-level openness to the outside world and enhance the city's international image.

The relevant measures in this direction are outlined in the draft 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of Tianjin City, which was submitted for consideration at the ongoing 4th session of the 18th City People's Congress, the online news portal chinanews.com.cn reported.

According to the draft, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), Tianjin will make good use of the China-SCO cooperation platforms in the fields of green industry and digital economy, as well as the China-SCO cooperation center in vocational education, to promote innovative development of trade and bilateral investment with SCO countries, and promote the integration of vocational training with industrial practice, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, in SCO countries.

In addition, the city is also prepared to expand cooperation with SCO countries in the humanitarian and medical fields, planning, in particular, to launch a cancer screening project for 10,000 people in SCO countries over the next five years.

The above-mentioned document also provides for a number of other measures to expand external openness, including the implementation of the “Silk Road of E-Commerce” project covering the regions of Central Asia and the Middle East, and further expanding access for foreign investment to local socio-economic sectors.

All these measures clearly demonstrate the firm determination of Tianjin, one of China's four centrally administered municipalities, to deeply integrate into regional and international cooperation to achieve high-quality development, experts say. -0-

URUMQI, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) — Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, rich in wind and photovoltaic resources, has built six new energy bases with a capacity of 10 million kW, increasing the region's wind and photovoltaic capacity to 167 million kW, bringing the share of alternative energy in the region's total installed capacity to 64 percent.

This achievement was highlighted in the government's work report, which was read during the regional "two sessions", highlighting XUAR's commitment to green development.

Among the six, the Hami base stands out for its vast 51,600 square kilometer wind farm area and 3,170 to 3,380 hours of sunshine per year, making it one of the sunniest locations in China.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), Hami's renewable energy capacity increased by 23.24 million kW, making it the leading city in Xinjiang with a total capacity exceeding 37 million kW.

The growth of new energy capacity was accompanied by an increase in clean energy consumption. In 2025, green electricity supplies in Xinjiang reached 43.43 billion kWh, a 230 percent increase over the previous year and a record high. This figure equates to a reduction in conventional coal combustion of 13.13 million tons and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 35.47 million tons.

Song Xueqiang, head of the trading department of the Xinjiang Energy Exchange, said new energy provides a "green foundation" for Xinjiang's economic growth, promoting the region's low-carbon transformation and high-quality development. -0-
