PHNOM PENH, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — The World Bank on Tuesday lowered its economic growth forecast for Cambodia in 2025 to 4.8 percent from 6 percent in 2024.

World Bank Chief Economist for East Asia and Pacific Aditya Mattoo said US tariff hikes and the border conflict with Thailand were holding back that country's economic growth.

On August 1, the United States imposed a 19 percent tariff on all goods imported from Cambodia.

“Cambodia and Laos currently have some of the highest tariffs in the region,” he said during an online press conference to announce the release of the World Bank’s East Asia and Pacific Economic Report.

"Next year will be more difficult. Demand will also likely decline," added A. Mattu.

He said tensions on the border with Thailand, which led to border closures, had led to a reduction in remittances and trade.

The World Bank also lowered its forecast for economic growth in the kingdom for 2026 to 4.3 percent. –0–

BEIJING, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — China's foreign exchange reserves totaled $3.3387 trillion as of the end of September 2025, up $16.5 billion, or 0.5 percent, from the end of August this year, according to data released Tuesday by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE).

The ministry said the increase in China's foreign exchange reserves in September was due to the combined effects of exchange rate fluctuations and changes in asset prices.

In September, the US dollar index experienced moderate fluctuations, while global financial asset prices rose overall, the State Financial Committee reported.

The Chinese economy continues to demonstrate overall resilience, which helps maintain the country's foreign exchange reserves at a generally stable level, the State Treasury Department stated. -0-

BEIJING, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — Cumulative box office revenue at Chinese cinemas during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays (October 1-8) in 2025, including advance sales, exceeded 1.6 billion yuan (about 225 million U.S. dollars) as of Tuesday afternoon, according to online platforms.

This year's eight-day National Day holiday represents a busy season for moviegoers and a highly competitive arena for China's cinemas.

The current box office leader is the domestic war epic "The Volunteers: Peace at Last," the final installment of director Chen Kaige's "Volunteers" trilogy. The film recreates the intertwined battlefield struggles and tense diplomatic negotiations during the War to Resist American Aggression and Aid the Korean People (1950-1953).

It is followed by the domestic film "731" /Evil Unbound/, which depicts the atrocities committed by the infamous Japanese Unit 731 in China during World War II. The film chronicles the fates of innocent victims imprisoned by Unit 731 and subjected to inhumane torture experiments, including frostbite, poison gas, and vivisection.

A Writer's Odyssey II, the sequel to the 2021 sci-fi action film, is currently ranked third at the holiday box office. The film centers on the journey of a writer trying to cope with dual crises occurring both in the real world and in the virtual world of his fiction.

Since the beginning of this year, more than 300 films have hit theaters across the country, covering a wide range of genres, including history, comedy, animation, and drama. -0-

Minsk, October 7 (Xinhua) — Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Sultan Haitham bin Tarek Al Said of Oman held talks in Minsk on Monday. The parties discussed the implementation of agreements reached during mutual high-level visits in 2024-2025 in the areas of food security, agriculture, industry, logistics, healthcare, tourism, and culture. They also discussed promising areas and ways to deepen cooperation between the two countries. The press service of the Belarusian leader published the corresponding information on the same day.

During the talks, A. Lukashenko discussed the implementation of joint projects and efforts to establish a hub in Oman to promote Belarusian products. "Through our projects in Oman, we are strengthening food security not only in Oman but throughout the region. Omani investments in wood processing will help us more effectively utilize Belarus's natural resources. Moreover, intensive contacts have allowed us to develop a significant pool of additional projects," the Belarusian leader emphasized.

He noted that the Belarusian side hopes to establish a strong and long-term base in Oman for promoting Belarusian products in the Persian Gulf and East Africa. There are also prospects for cooperation in the pharmaceutical sector: the first contracts for the supply of Belarusian medicines to Oman have been signed, and they are currently undergoing certification.

In turn, the Sultan of Oman drew attention to trade and economic cooperation with Belarus. He expressed the opinion that relations in this area have not yet reached the necessary level and expressed his desire to develop them. "We are working hard to ensure that our relations in this area are on the rise," he noted.

Following high-level talks at the Palace of Independence in Minsk, the parties signed a package of documents on various areas of cooperation, including an agreement on the mutual abolition of visas. –0–
