Tehran, March 25 (Xinhua) — Iran's armed forces said Wednesday they launched several cruise missiles from Iran's southern coast at the USS Abraham Lincoln, some of which struck the warship and "forced it to change its position," media reported.

As Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday, Iranian Navy Commander Shahram Irani said the aircraft carrier was under constant surveillance and would be subject to further "devastating" strikes if it entered Iranian missile range.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf indicated on the social media platform X that Iran is closely monitoring all US movements in the West Asian region, and in particular the deployment of US troops.

These events occurred against the backdrop of heightened tensions in the region following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began on February 28, to which Iran and its regional allies responded with strikes on Israeli and US targets across the Middle East.

Beijing, March 25 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday released the final findings of its investigation into Mexico's restrictive measures against China and other partners that do not have free trade agreements with Mexico. The document notes that these measures create trade and investment barriers.

The investigation was initiated by the Chinese ministry on September 25, 2025, in accordance with the Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China and the rules for investigating foreign trade barriers.

As a Ministry of Commerce official indicated, the investigation found that Mexico's measures, including increasing customs duties on goods from partners that do not have free trade agreements with it, limit and hinder access for Chinese products, services, and investment to the Mexican market, thereby undermining the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises.

In response to a question from journalists, a department representative said that in this regard, the ministry, in accordance with the law, determined that Mexico's restrictive measures constitute trade and investment barriers against China.

The official representative added that the Ministry of Commerce is authorized to take appropriate measures to resolutely protect the interests of Chinese industry. –0–

Nairobi, March 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with Kenyan President William Ruto here on Tuesday. The two sides expressed their commitment to deepening practical cooperation and developing a China-Kenya community with a shared future in the new era.

Han Zheng conveyed Chinese President Xi Jinping's warm greetings and best wishes to Wu Ruto. He noted that over the past 60 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have consistently adhered to the principles of mutual respect, equality, and mutual benefit, advancing bilateral relations to new heights.

Last April, President Xi Jinping and President W. Ruto decided to establish a China-Kenya community with a shared future in the new era, which outlined a new plan for the development of bilateral ties, the Vice President of China noted.

Han Zheng expressed China's readiness to cooperate with Kenya in implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state and the outcomes of the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. He stated that this will inject new impetus into bilateral cooperation and play a leading and exemplary role in building an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era.

Noting that this year marks the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, Han Zheng said China will further expand high-level opening-up and share high-quality development opportunities with Kenya and other African countries. Both sides should strengthen high-level political trust and build the foundation of a China-Kenya community with a shared future in the new era.

The Vice President expressed gratitude for Kenya's strong support on issues concerning China's core interests, such as the Taiwan question, and reiterated China's firm support for Kenya in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and development interests.

According to Han Zheng, both sides should expand high-quality practical cooperation and effectively leverage the benefits of the comprehensive zero-tariff regime for 53 African countries with diplomatic relations with China. This regime, which will take effect on May 1, will accelerate the two countries' joint modernization efforts.

China highly appreciates Kenya's active support for the major concepts and initiatives it has proposed, and is willing to strengthen high-level strategic coordination with Kenya, jointly practice genuine multilateralism, pool the powerful potential of countries in the Global South, and promote the development of a more equitable international order, the Vice President said.

In turn, Ruto asked Han Zheng to convey his warm greetings and best wishes to President Xi Jinping. He thanked China for its unwavering support for Kenya's national development and emphasized that his country always adheres to the one-China principle, which is an unwavering position enshrined in Kenyan foreign policy documents.

According to U. Ruto, Kenya is ready to seize the comprehensive implementation of the zero-tariff policy as an opportunity to strengthen the alignment of its development strategies with China, expand exports to China, and encourage Chinese investment in Kenya. He called for deepening cooperation in key areas such as industrialization, logistics, infrastructure, and finance, as well as expanding cultural and people-to-people exchanges to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Ruto also said Kenya highly values China's leadership in global affairs and its commitment to advancing South-South cooperation. He added that Kenya supports the global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping and is ready to work with China to advance global governance, promote multilateralism, and uphold the international order based on the principles of the UN Charter.

Tbilisi, March 25 /Xinhua/ — The Monetary Policy Committee of the National Bank of Georgia kept the interest rate (refinancing rate) at 8 percent, the National Bank of Georgia (Central Bank) reported on Wednesday.

According to the regulator, the escalating geopolitical situation in the Middle East and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have led to temporary disruptions to supply chains. "Given current macroeconomic conditions and the balance of risks, the decision has been made to keep the interest rate unchanged," the regulator said in a statement.

The Central Bank's statement stated that these processes have already caused an increase in energy and transport prices on international markets, and that if this trend continues, the risks of accelerating global inflation will increase.

As noted in the report, before the geopolitical situation worsened, inflation in the country developed in accordance with the baseline scenario and was expected to decline to the target level of 3 percent from the second quarter of 2026. In February, inflation amounted to 4.6 percent.

According to the National Bank, in the short term, inflation will be higher than the projected level, while in the medium term, the dynamics will depend on the duration and scale of global inflation processes, which are characterized by high uncertainty. –0–
