BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping announced China's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to 2035 in a video message to participants at a high-level UN climate action event in New York on Wednesday.

Xi Jinping announced the following new targets related to the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC): By 2035, China will reduce net greenhouse gas emissions from overall economic activity by 7-10 percent compared with peak levels, aiming to do even better; increase the share of non-fossil energy in total energy consumption to more than 30 percent; increase the installed capacity of wind and photovoltaic power plants by more than six times the 2020 level, aiming to bring the total to 3,600 GW; increase the total forest stock to more than 24 billion cubic meters; make new energy vehicles the mainstream in new vehicle sales; expand the national carbon trading market to cover major high-emitting sectors; fundamentally build a society adaptable to climate change

These goals reflect China's best efforts in line with the Paris Agreement, Xi said, adding that achieving these goals will require both China's own unremitting efforts and a favorable and open international environment. He added that China has the resolve and confidence to fulfill its obligations.

New York, September 24 (Xinhua) — China hopes the European Union will work with Beijing to take concrete measures to steadily deepen bilateral cooperation. Chinese Premier Li Qiang stated this in New York on Wednesday during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Li Qiang recalled that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. He also noted that in July of this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Winston von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa in Beijing, during which they provided strategic guidance and reached important agreements on the further development of relations between China and the EU.

The Chinese Prime Minister also mentioned the 25th China-EU Leaders' Meeting, which he co-chaired with Antonio Costa and Uruguay von der Leyen. According to Li Qiang, this event yielded positive results.

As Premier Xi Jinping pointed out, China hopes to work with the EU to implement the consensus reached by both sides, remain true to the original aspirations of establishing diplomatic relations, strengthen unity and coordination, and promote the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations.

Over the past 50 years, Li Qiang continued, bilateral relations have withstood the test of a changing international environment and have generally maintained the momentum of healthy and sustainable development.

As he noted, the key reason was that both sides consistently maintained close contacts and actively sought ways to resolve contradictions and differences based on mutual understanding and trust.

China hopes that both sides will strengthen mutual trust, treat each other with sincerity, honor their commitments, and firmly adhere to the principle of pursuing common ground while recognizing differences, Li Qiang stressed.

He also called on China and the EU to find common ground and steadily deepen bilateral cooperation to benefit the peoples of both sides.

China, the Premier of the State Council indicated, hopes that the European side will fulfill its promises to maintain open trade and investment markets, adhere to the principles of fair competition and the rules of the World Trade Organization, and refrain from transferring trade and economic issues into the realm of politics and security.

Noting that the international situation is undergoing new and complex changes, and factors of instability and uncertainty continue to multiply, Li Qiang stated that China and the EU, as important poles in the world, should demonstrate responsibility, adhere to strategic autonomy, uphold fairness and justice, and play a more constructive role in global affairs.

The Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China called on both sides to better safeguard the common interests of China, the EU and the entire international community, acting as a force for stability and certainty in the world.

In turn, U. von der Leyen stated that the European Union and China, as two important global economies, must strengthen dialogue, improve mutual understanding, and deepen mutual trust. According to her, this is of great importance for both sides and for global development.

The European Union is ready to actively implement the consensus reached during the meeting of EU and Chinese leaders this year, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and achieve new results in cooperation in areas such as trade and investment, environmental protection, and development assistance, U. von der Leyen emphasized.

The EU highly values China's exemplary role in combating climate change and is ready to deepen cooperation with China in this area, mutually stimulating green transformation and jointly promoting global sustainable development, the head of the European Commission added. –0–

Izhevsk, Russia, September 24, Xinhua — Udmurtia is ready to comprehensively develop relations with China. Roman Efimov, Chairman of the Government of the Udmurt Republic of Russia, announced this at a meeting with foreign journalists on Wednesday.

"We are ready to develop relations, to engage in any kind of contact. We will show and tell you everything… We are ready to further expand our exchanges," R. Efimov emphasized, responding to a Xinhua reporter's question about the prospects for developing relations between Russia's Udmurtia and China.

He recalled that Udmurtia schoolchildren took part in a gala concert held in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. "Our students joined the joint Russian-Chinese choir. This is a collaborative project between the Russian 'Pioneer Movement' and the All-China Youth Federation," R. Efimov explained, adding that the Udmurtia Tatar Music, Song, and Dance Ensemble participated in the prestigious Golden Square International Festival of Traditional Cultures in China.

According to the head of the republic's government, Udmurtia possesses significant industrial and export potential thanks to its developed mechanical engineering, metallurgy, chemical industry, and oil production.

"Our companies produce competitive, world-class products that are in demand both domestically and internationally," noted R. Efimov.

"Furthermore, the agricultural sector also plays a significant role in our region's economy. I am confident that this meeting will allow you and us to further develop our cooperation," he said.

R. Efimov specifically highlighted Udmurtia's tourism potential. Classic composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky was born and spent his childhood here, and world-renowned weapons designer Mikhail Kalashnikov lived and worked for a long time in the republic's capital, Izhevsk. "Tchaikovsky and Kalashnikov are the region's calling cards. They are recognized worldwide. We are relying on them specifically to develop inbound tourism from China," the Udmurt government chairman emphasized.

"I'd like to point out that all our logistics are in Chinese. We're currently doing everything we can to ensure Chinese tourists feel comfortable here," he added.
