Bishkek, September 30 (Xinhua) — Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree calling early elections for members of the Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament). According to the decree, the elections will be held on November 30, 2025, the president's official website reported on Tuesday.

According to the decree, the Central Commission for Elections and Referendums of Kyrgyzstan is instructed to organize elections in accordance with the country's legislation and implement remote voting.

Meanwhile, the country's cabinet of ministers has been instructed to allocate the necessary financial resources for the elections, take measures to ensure the rule of law, the rights and freedoms of citizens, and the protection of public order, as well as to clarify data from the Unified State Population Register to compile accurate voter lists.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic must ensure compliance with the Constitution and laws of Kyrgyzstan when preparing and conducting elections.

On September 25, members of the Kyrgyz Parliament voted to dissolve the Legislative Assembly. The proposal was put forward by an initiative group of 32 members. As MP Ulan Primov explained, there is a short period of time between two important political events—the presidential and parliamentary elections—and so, in order to strengthen the political system and stability in the country, the initiative group proposed that parliament voluntarily resign.

The Zhogorku Kenesh (Federal Assembly) is Kyrgyzstan's unicameral parliament, consisting of 90 members elected for five-year terms. According to the initial schedule, Kyrgyzstan's parliamentary elections were scheduled for November 2026, but presidential elections are scheduled for just two months later, in January 2027.

As Parliament Speaker Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu previously stated, despite the self-dissolution, the powers of the current convocation's deputies will remain in effect until new deputies are elected, and if necessary, an extraordinary session will be convened.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he would impose a 100 percent tariff on all films produced outside the country.

"Our film production business has been stolen from the United States of America by other countries, like 'candy stolen from a child,'" he wrote on the social network Truth Social. "Therefore, to solve this long-standing and never-ending problem, I will impose a 100 percent tariff on all films made outside the United States," he added.

Trump did not specify when the measure would be adopted, nor how his administration would calculate the cost of the film or how the tariff would apply to films partially shot abroad, local media reported on Monday.

In early May, the head of the White House threatened to impose a 100 percent tariff on all foreign-made films entering the United States.

“The film industry in America is dying very quickly,” he wrote at the time in Truth Social, complaining that other countries were “offering all sorts of incentives to lure” filmmakers and studios away from the US. –0–

BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — Cargo turnover through five checkpoints located in the southern part of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region increased by 63.3 percent year-on-year in the first eight months of this year, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported, citing Kashgar Customs.

These border crossings include Irkeshtam and Torugart on the Chinese-Kyrgyz border, Karasu on the border with Tajikistan, Khunjerab on the border with Pakistan, and the Kashgar air crossing.

In particular, the volume of cargo traffic through Irkeshtam increased by 67.4 percent year-on-year during the reporting period, driven by the 24/7 customs clearance system (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), which was launched on a trial basis in June of this year. It is the first border crossing in southern Xinjiang to operate 24 hours a day.

The Torugart border crossing point saw a significant increase in incoming and outgoing passenger traffic: in the first eight months of this year, the number of border crossings through it totaled nearly 20,000 people, a 339 percent increase from the previous year. This was primarily due to an increase in outgoing and incoming workers participating in the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway.

During the same period, 98 percent more commercial vehicles were exported through the Karasu checkpoint, amounting to 14,600 units.

Moreover, in January-August, the volume of cargo transportation through the Khunjerab checkpoint, which began year-round operation at the end of 2024, increased by 93 percent compared to the same period last year.

At the Kashgar air crossing, where additional cargo and passenger routes to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries were opened this year, an air service network has been established covering Central and South Asia. In the first eight months of this year, inbound and outbound tourist traffic through this airport increased by 47 percent year-on-year.

In order to further simplify customs procedures, various departments of the Kashgar Prefecture government, including the administration of the Economic and Technological Development Zone and the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, have undertaken coordination efforts with customs services, making good use of the functions of the five border crossings as logistics hubs.
