BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) — China's State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has called on state-owned enterprises (SOEs) directly under the central government to step up relocation and investment in Xiong'an New Area in north China's Hebei Province.

Centrally-directed state-owned enterprises are encouraged to fully utilize their resource advantages and demonstrate leadership by increasing their involvement in the construction of the Xiong'an New Area and to be among the first to contribute to these goals. This was announced at a committee meeting held on Tuesday.

The meeting emphasized the need to ensure a smooth transition to Beijing's liberation from functions unrelated to its status as the capital. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the stable operation of the enterprises that were the first to relocate to Xiong'an and to expedite the construction of necessary facilities for those that have yet to do so.

It is important to continue to encourage state-owned enterprises to concentrate their investments and actively participate in the construction of intelligent, efficient, safe, and sustainable infrastructure in Xiong'an, the meeting said.

Their advantages in production chains should be harnessed and the pace of implementation of key projects should be accelerated to improve local supply chains and attract more promising enterprises to locate in the new area.

It is also necessary to direct the efforts of SOEs to build more qualified research institutes, high-tech enterprises and experimental bases in Xiong'an, encouraging them to innovate independently, accelerate breakthroughs in key technologies and commercialize relevant results in Xiong'an.

The Committee expressed support for centrally-controlled state-owned enterprises in developing internationally competitive innovative businesses in areas such as next-generation information technology and satellite internet, in favor of high-quality development of the new area. -0-

UN, March 24 /Xinhua/ — UN Secretary-General António Guterres strongly condemned Friday's drone strike on the El Daein University Hospital in Sudan's East Darfur state, which killed at least 60 people, including children and medical staff, his spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said on Tuesday.

Since April 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed more than 200 attacks on health facilities in Sudan, resulting in the deaths of more than 2,000 people, he said.

“The Secretary-General demands that all parties comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law, which clearly provides for the protection of medical personnel and infrastructure and prohibits attacks on civilians and civilian objects,” stressed S. Dujarric.

A. Guterres called on the parties to immediately de-escalate the fighting and agree to a cessation of hostilities. He also reiterated his call for them to engage with mediators, including his personal envoy for Sudan, to return to the negotiating table with the goal of achieving a sustainable ceasefire and launching a comprehensive, inclusive, and nationally focused political process.

The UN emphasized its readiness to support real steps to end the fighting in Sudan and develop a path to long-term peace.

Almaty, March 25 (Xinhua) — The results of the "two sessions" (the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)) in China open up new opportunities for Kazakhstan and call on the international community to share opportunities and pursue common development. This was stated by Chinese Ambassador to Kazakhstan Han Chunlin in an opinion piece for the Delovoy Kazakhstan newspaper.

It notes that all key economic and social development goals and objectives were successfully achieved last year, and the 14th Five-Year Plan concluded successfully. China continues to contribute to the stability of global production and supply chains, as well as to the development of the global economy.

According to the diplomat, over the next five years, China will focus on high-quality development and, guided by the fundamental principles of the 15th Five-Year Plan, will implement 20 key indicators covering economic development, innovation, people's well-being, green and low-carbon development, and security. China also intends to consistently expand its high-level opening to the outside world, remaining the "world's factory" and striving to become the "world's market."

Han Chunlin said the "two sessions" demonstrate China's determination to further expand opening-up and implement the four global initiatives, as well as promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Speaking about Chinese-Kazakh relations, the ambassador emphasized that in recent years, political mutual trust between the two countries has steadily deepened, strategic interaction has become increasingly close, and the quality and level of cooperation in various fields has steadily improved, bringing tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries. Last year, the two heads of state held two meetings, during which they reached important agreements on developing cooperation in trade, investment, energy, transport, and high technology.

According to Han Chunlin, bilateral trade between the two countries reached $48.7 billion, an 11 percent increase year-on-year. The two sides also signed new agreements in education, science and technology, and sports. Furthermore, mutual visa-free travel is being actively implemented, and tourism between the two countries is becoming increasingly popular.

China stands ready to work with Kazakhstan to consistently implement the agreements reached at the highest level, deepen the alignment of development strategies, and ensure the shared benefit of development achievements, the ambassador emphasized. The two sides will work together to create a new "golden thirty years" of Chinese-Kazakh relations, Han Chunlin concluded.
